You can flame polish plastics but you have to be careful. They can bend out of shape or warp. Then you will be using your toaster over do get them true again. Flame polishing that DM claw plastic isn't going to help with the yellowing. I have seen repro's of that plastic.

I would've tried this on the huge SST ramp assembly when I had it removed for shopping and installing LEDs. Heard about flame polishing, but didn't know the process was so basic and easy.
