<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 411840, member: 78"]Hi Gianluca,</p><p> PLEASE do not ever use the "hot pin" test. If ivory you do not need the the test. If it was celluloid or some other plastic it would be ruined by the test. I have seen several serious burns given to people from the test. Certain plastics ignite and burn quickly. I have seen many plastic pieces with burn holes ruined by the test. </p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
