<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 4368392, member: 36"]I can generally just eyeball bakelite at this point. The mistakes are usually a nice grade of lucite and so no problem. I reserve the chemical tests for after I get it home. Rubbing it with a thumb only works if you have a nice chunk of flat surface to work with, and if it's beads that's out. A lot of old pros wouldn't even think of using simichrome on a piece you don't own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
