ANSWER - Using Your Senses! - Testing Bakelite…

QUESTION: I just bought a bracelet and was told it is bakelite. How can I tell if it really is? Is there a test?

MARYANSWER:

Using Your Senses! - Testing Bakelite…

Many recommend using a hot needle or hot water to test items. Others use Dow Scrubbing Bubbles and Formula 409 for testing Bakelite.

Unless you really don’t care about your item maryantiques does not recommend these methods!!

A hot needle test will leave a hole or a tunnel if your item is plastic. Hot water may destroy an item made from celluloid. A little Dow Scrubbing Bubbles or Formula 409 rubbed on the item may determine if item is Bakelite (the rubbing cloth will turn yellow). However, if it is ivory or bone it may stain it. Also, you must make sure to wash all of the chemicals off and dry your item thoroughly to ensure no damage is done to your item.

In fact, other than using your senses … sight, hearing, touch, smell … there are no safe methods of testing Bakelite.

Use your sense of sight. A Bakelite item may be cast, laminated, inlaid, carved, and tinted almost any color of the rainbow. Bakelite can be transparent, translucent, or opaque. Bakelite colors, however, do change with age. The surface color tends to darken, and a patina develops. For instance, white Bakelite may become creamy ivory or a light yellow color. Very fine pits and scratches are also produced with wear.

Use your sense of touch. Feel the item. Bakelite tends to be heavy. It is heavier then plastic, celluloid and most of other similar materials. It is dense, once it has been heated and formed, it can not be melted down and re-formed.

Use your sense of hearing. When two pieces of Bakelite are tapped together they make a distinctive deep clacking noise, later plastics produce a high pitched clicking noise.

Use your sense of smell. Rub the item aggressively with a finger until it gets hot. Smell your item or finger. If it is Bakelite, you’ll notice an odor….an unforgettable carbolic acid smell.

[b]Description[/b]

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also [url=twitter.com/iuyjopg]Viagra Sales Market[/url] you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://fovunec.freehostia.com]Ordering Viagra to Canada[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
