<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9575491, member: 36"]Make sure the q-tip is damp before dunking in the baking soda and rub hard. You're supposed to make a paste, but I never bother. The three larger ones sure look like bakelite. I'd be expecting the formaldehyde off of at least two of the three. When you tap two of them together, bakelite makes a different sound from acrylic. It's a tell, but your ears have to work well to catch that one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
