<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 6776417, member: 36"]Red bakelite doesn't react like other colors, unless you mean the black or dark brown. Those are real bakelite and don't react to anything short of a dremel. the red... dip a damp q-tip in baking soda and rub, hard. With bakelite it'll turn yellow to brown and give off a formaldehyde smell if you hold/rub near your nose. Galaith emits a rotten milk smell; it's made with milk protein. Celluloid will smell of mothballs, for that matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
