<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vic23, post: 3833118, member: 17769&quot;]I just got this painted bangle from a local thrift store, and I find it looks very similar to some painted bakelite bangles I saw online. But of course its possible that its not. </p><p>I heard it was sometimes difficult to test red bakelite. How do you suggest I test this bangle, Im a bit scared that the hot water might further damage the painting on it.</p><p>Another question is, what is the best way to clean it if I don&#039;t want to remove all the painting left on it? (I already cleaned it inside, you can see its a much nicer red.) And a last question: How old usually are these painted bangles? (if they are bakelite) Is there a way to repaint them? Haha, I ended up with lots and lots of questions. </p><p>Thank you so much to anyone who leaves a reply! </p><p><br /></p><p>Vic[ATTACH=full]318250[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]318251[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]318252[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
