<p>[QUOTE="alynnfin, post: 10234254, member: 18516"]Can I add here, that I poured boiling water over these and they have a smell. Not resin, kind of light light mothball but not really a mothball smell. I know not real helpful, but I can't pin the smell down. Not pine, maybe camphor-ish. Could it be celluloid? It got ever so slightly tacky when I poured the hot water on it. Does that help narrow down what kind of material it is made out of?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
