I tried cleaning Lego in boiling water once - it discolours and warps.
(actually, it was Duplo - bought at a garage sale and being sterilized

| I recently received an email from someone about strengthening gears. This person claims that by boiling the gears and then cooling them with cold water, their strength will increase. Has anyone tried this? What were your results? TJ (22 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
