I have bakelite factory, you can not give this colour to bakelite without painting, mostly tableware products are melamine or urea, only frypan handles are producing from bakelite

These are a great resource! Really lets me put my head in the position of the first plastic makers!

I love YouTube. I was curious about the history of Bakelite and just knew there would be a thorough well-put-together video explaining the whole thing. We’ve come so, so far from Shoes and the Evolution of Dance. 🤣

Bakelite was used a lot for rifle magazines by the Russians and other comm bloc countries after WW2

Lots of old picnic ware is urea formaldehyde rather than Bakelite made by Brookes and Adams in Birmingham and called BandAlasta

I looked this up because i have a vintage car with a bakelite steering wheel and wanted to know more about the material... I would have liked a more in depth video, but this was still relatively informative...

Thumbs down for the dig on Trump. You didn't have to do that.

You must be a millennial after that comment about retiring after making one sale thinking you’ll be fine for the rest of your life. Smh
