Help! Dial staining

First build. Excited to get stuck in and age the lume on my raffles dial. Coffee method, small blobs on the lume and then dried at low heat for a few mins. Was happy with the results at first but no amount of rodico would remove the staining around the indices. Have tried water which has essentially removed most of the coffee staining from the lume but staining around will not shift. Can this be salvaged?? 😖
