<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 345252, member: 36"]I use a damp q-tip and baking soda. It works. Rub and sniff at the same time if possible. If bakelite you'll smell the formaldehyde. I got my first "positive" for tobacco the other night - the piece looked like bakelite, but was just tobacco-stained lucite. I have a feeling these are acrylic; the hole edges look molded rather than drilled.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
