[edit] Bakelite

I am not sure how to fix this, Bakelite is a thermoseting plastic, which means it won't melt! BUT it is Very Brittle. It is also Opaque.

The picture at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Radio_Diora_Pionier_U2_1.jpg actually looks more like bakelite than wood, but I can't tell for sure.

Thermoplastic did sometimes melt. Many of the thermoplastics are semitransparent. cmacd 15:03, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
