<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 911276, member: 36"]Rant: I'll have to post pictures of those beads I thought were bakelite. Now I don't know what they are. I tried testing them with both baking soda and pink silver polish. No smell at all. Then, since they were filthy, I took them apart and gave them a bath and a scrub with an old toothbrush. Then all I smelled in the really hot water was the dish soap. ...and I found popped bubbles on at least one bead end. Some bakelite colors don't test, but lucite should have smelled like plastic. ????[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
