hastening ambering/yellowing a clear coat.
I was talking to a guy I know about hastening the yellowing of the nitrocellulose gloss coat on an Olympic White finnish. He suggested sticking it under a black light as it emmits UV's. Has anyone any experience with this? If it does work then then it will be a nice "relic" look. By removing the pick guard I will expose the "original" white.

Leaving in the sun can help yellow a new finish. I've had some nice ambering from just having guitars in my den sit in daily sunlight.
