Looks more like cracked ice than cracked ice.

o yeah thats one blue duck. and i kinda like it. I agree, you should leave them. Trying anything on them has a good probability of destroying the scales, might as well play it safe since it doesnt look bad as is.

If you hand't said you had stained the scales I would have just assumed that was the original color.

I think it looks tons better than the ones which have yellowed with age. Mebbe you have found a "cure" !

Yea, I thought this was going to look pretty bad by the descriptions. It looks real cool I think. It's like an ice blue - it's awesome looking!!! The Blue Duck lives!

Oh yeah man that looks sweet! Custom dubl duck w/ blue cracked ice scales!

What about Maas ?

If it didn't simply wipe off, then it's probably not coming off without some sort of destruction, be it sanding or solvent in nature (more on this in a few). Personally, I think the blue is pretty awesome.

The only thing I can think of is to take a look at the MSDS of Barbicide (conveniently linked for your viewing pleasure): http://www.king-research.com/pdf/msd...icide_MSDS.pdf and give the solvent they use in it a shot. It looks like they dissolve some Dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride and some Sodium nitrite in Isopropyl alcohol. My suggestion, if you want a last resort, is to use rubbing alcohol (isopropanol) to try to get the blue out. Maybe even mix some up with water in a 1:1 ratio and let it soak for a few seconds. If you do it in a clear container you should be able to hold it up the the light and see the dye leaching out (if it is going to).

I think it looks sweet, and maybe don't push your luck or you may end up with melted duck
