    i don't know what Camphor is or smells like, I'm not very keen on scraping the scales if i don't have to.

    Does this help?

    You can use some 2000 grit or finer wetn dri on the inside of the scale or on an edge. It'll smell like Vicks Vaporub or Tiger balm if you know those ?

    Yes, I can do that.

    If it smells like that, is it good or bad?

    Yes It would help even better if you took the pic with a piece of White paper behind it

    DD's are easy, Those scales were Clear when made the Cracked Ice were White

    The more Yellow they become the more they are breaking down / aging at the first sign of rust you are going to have to get serious

    Some stay in limbo for years and years, more Warp more Yellowing more Problems

    Oh no! It sprouted a fishhook!

    Looks like you stored that one in the live well Mike.

    Keep a close eye on it t and if it shows the first sign then separate them, put them in separate bags and send it back to me and I'll make you some clear acrylic scales with the badge in it...in fact, you could do that now if you're worried about it.

    I keep it in a prescription bottle. I put a hook in with it to see how fast it will affect it. Haven't checked for a couple years, it's outside in the man cave.... somewhere.
