These are part of a set I'm almost done with. I got these chips obviously very well loved, they were beat up, dry and very dirty. I got some help from some fellow chippers and they got cleaned up really well, but they ended up even dryer than before. I started the process of oiling these chips up and did a test chip and it soaked up everything it could get it's greedy mitts on. When I went to do the rest of the rack I really oiled them up heavy, so much so I had a lot of second doubts, but I checked them a few hours later and with are a few spots where there is a bit of surface pooling to wipe off, but nothing like you'd expect. I use this plastic rack just for oiled chips to sit in and absorb oil and then a few days later I wipe them clean. I do this so I don't contaminate another storage box.
