Sitting Out
I am currently putting a set together, and I was wondering if your labels have ever gotten discolorod or otherwise faded in any way?
Nope. But I'm careful with them. And I've applied thousands upon thousands of them for myself and for other members.
YesIs there a post or guide somewhere that walks us through the tools and process needed to relabel?
I made a thread a while back about my process of applying labels to get good accuracy in putting them down:Is there a post or guide somewhere that walks us through the tools and process needed to relabel?

I didn’t watch the video but usually it’s non-acetone nail polish remover or high-percentage isopropyl alcohol.Thanks for sharing. Any idea what the liquid is in the second video or why someone wouldn’t use heat to loosen the adhesive?
Wow that's crazy how easily they soften.Here’s an old photo where someone used a pair of pliers to hold a chip over steam. Note the mark in the 8 o’clock position:

And if you ever come across a hotstamped chip with a strange square flattened shape, that’s from the hotstamp die block that was either too close to the chip or too hot….and started to melt the surface:

Even low heat can damage clays.
