Extreme sleeves getting faded

Post by homework52 »

Hello all,

I've recently unpacked my Revomazes and noticed that the Bronze and Green are getting a little faded. Is there a recommended way for polishing them, or if possible an easy way to order replacement sleeves without repurchasing the entire puzzle?

Thank you

They were relatively early editions and not particularly shiny to begin with. Perhaps there was an issue when it was anodized or something that is more apparent now that it's been several years. None of my others have the same problem.

Just out of curiousity, how are you determining the fade? photograph? an obvious gradient on the mazes themselves?

There have been a few examples throughout the years of people, like comparing the marbles blue with the revomaze direct blue, having very different colors while still being blue.

I've looked at them more closely and it's sort of a "marbling" effect in patches, particularly in the valleys and along the corners of the ridges. I the contacted Chris and we should be able to get them sorted out.
