Oil and Water Trick (1 Viewer)

Those exact words can describe a few chippers here, too.

Obviously, some are also water based.

Since there’s a thread about the oil and water trick, I figured I’d post this video tutorial on my go-to washing and oiling technique. You’ll have to excuse to poor production value... I’m not a movie maker...

This was secretly Kevin Costner wasn’t it...

Not sure if there’s another video, but the process is simple:

-Place a salad strainer in a large bowl of similar size.
-Add water, and maybe 1 tablespoon of oil (you don’t need much)
-Drop chips in
-Agitate the chips
-Pull the salad strainer out (I like to hit the rolling edges as they come out)
-Leave the chips out to dry

Let me know if you still have questions. This method is for people who want to oil chips but don’t have a lot of time.

Which video? I JUST followed the link and was able to view the video.

One last question - how long do you let these sit out to dry before putting them back in the racks?

Until they are relatively dry. This is why you don't overoil, otherwise it takes a long time to soak into the underlying material (bedsheet, towel, etc.).

Did some tonight actually. I use a pillow for some air drying to start. Always worked great for me

Did you soak these in oil/water? I would've been concerned about oil creeping under the inlay on ASM/CPC chips.
Any sign of trouble with the inlay?

I didn’t soak them. It was a very quick in and out just to pop the colors. No issues

Watch out for older leaded THC inlays. They may have leakage
