I need some help with this one

[Venim91]

So i have this piece and i dont know what it looks like clean but when i start to scratch out the res it seems like its scratching off the color too i dont know if its just a light color unless its res'd up. Is that possible. I havent scratched out a large area just a few lines and it looked like it was taking the color...
Help?

The colors on a color-changing glass pipe are more vibrant when there is dark resin built up behind them. You'll drrrty it up again in no time. To clean it off, try formula 420 or a long soak in rubbing alcohol followed by some quality time with a box of Q-Tips.

[friendowl]

put it in a pan of boiling water and use q-tips
or use rubbing alcohol and let it soak over night
rinse with hot fuckin water

its kinda like looking at a piece of colored paper with a light behind it and w/o a light behind. The glass itself is actually tinted during the blowing process with different metal compounds. So its pretty much impossible to scratch the color off unless your grinding glass off.
