<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9790058, member: 36"]I just dunk the q-tip in water and squeeze a bit. Dunk in baking soda and rub on the back/inside/whatever of a piece. Do it next to your nose if possible. Red doesn't always react, but the pong when it does is unmistakeable. The q-tip should turn yellow-brown. If it turns red, it ain't bakelite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
