Radiant "glow" spoons

[Theb55]

Recently my Radiant spoons, especially the white side have, even turning dark and I am unable to restore them. Anyone have any suggestions. I have even resorted to soaking the in bleach, a no no. But it doesn't make a difference. It's almost like I will have to reliant them but don't know where to start. The company showed no interest in the problem.
They begin to turn black after a few uses.

I think I've had similar problems with coyote spoons. I always thought it was just a cheaper spoon reaching its ritirement age and breaking down from saltwater, UV etc. I'm not fimiliar with radiant spoons though.. Does it still glow? Maybe CLR?

It does not glow where the black is. You might be correct about the paint breaking down. I will keep clr in mind. Thanks for the suggestion.

I was always told to paint them with clear nail polish when they are new. This helps seal the porous glow paint and prevents the blackening you are refering to now. Sorry, I know this doesn't help you now.

Great idea
Clear nail polish = lacquer. It's a thought. May get some in spray or paint on and test coat some see how that works.
