<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9502917, member: 36"]I use good old sodium bicarbonate and a damp q-tip or similar; unlike a lot of chemicals it sometimes works on red bakelite. If you're getting a Vicks smell, you may well have celluloid instead. A lot of tests don't work on the red bakelites for whatever reason, and sometimes they give a false negative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
