  Hi,

I noticed such a nuance with the details of the 3070b. The details of the 3070b
Trans-Clear were taken out by me from the set 42099 (it was a long time ago).
They are a little cloudy and glow under ultraviolet light. 35403 glows 30039
simple.
On BL there is only a Trans-Clear color. Has anyone come across such details?

I’d say that one is transparent ABS (MABS) (new material) while the other is
polycarbonate (PC) (old material).
Different materials = different reactions to UV.

It's worst than that. Its happen in solid ABS bricks to.
It's the granulate that LEGO by that some time have a lite "glow"
in it.
Did a test with Pearl Gold Cones (4589b) and ended up with that some Glow some
become Purple and some didn't react at all to my UV-light.
Sadly the picture i took are on a computer that become infected with a ransom
virus a few years ago.
