i just sold 4000 Majestic chips to a customer and he wants me to oil them before i ship. I never oiled that many chips.
Can you guys give me any advice on the best way to oil that many chps?
Easiest and most correct oiling method for China clays: don't.
I don't mind it for Milanos, but at least for my samples the Majestics aren't really chalky out of the box. Even just doing the edges by the barrel like @Trihonda said is going to take a good while for 200 barrels...
This is my opinion too. China Clays don't absorb the oil like other clays. It's a waste of time. The customer will probably complain about how oily the chips are.Easiest and most correct oiling method for China clays: don't.

...and no lingering oil to sit on chips made of a material that doesn't absorb the oil in the first place...
There is plenty of pictorial proof of both on this site, but it seems there will always be naysayers.
Would the water and oil method apply too much oil for a china clay?
Not a matter of too much oil, it's a matter of submerging the chip... Which has a sticker (label) on it. You run the risk of getting the sticker wet, and affecting its adherence to the chip...
I'd heavily discount that concern, since the adhesive isn't water-soluble and the labels are laminated (and not paper). I've never had any issues with submersion during cleaning or oiling china clay chips. I wouldn't advise soaking them for hours or days, but a dunk and wipe down should be fine.
Ditto on that but for customs (my lables) and less chips like 500Send me his/her 4,000 plus 1,000 for me and I'll do it. Cheap labor right?
Hi Josh, how did you tackle this in the end?i just sold 4000 Majestic chips to a customer and he wants me to oil them before i ship. I never oiled that many chips.

He's referring to meAnd there are people here who swear that it does (absorb).
But hey, if you believe it and it makes you happy... effin do it. Hell, I still put cookies out for Santa Claus.

I still believe in Santa.
That's a good service Josh!I used the water/oil method. The chips came out great. I am thinking about providing this service to all my customers. Something like $.05 - $.10 each extra.
