Can you post pics of the beads that you are talking about?
I was thinking the same thing. Believe me, it's too easy to get reduction scum on the turquoises and copper green. Most of the time I get it when I'm too lazy to "fine tune" my flame to a more oxydizing one. I use those colors a lot, and it's a good thing the toilet bowl cleaner solution works or I would be throwing those colors out! LOL!

Snobol brand is the best one I've used, BTW.
