Got my sample set today ... very nice!!

Now that you have them in your hands...how long do we have to wait for $500 labels

What's everyone using to clean these puppies? Never cleaned hotstamps and am worrying about damaging, but hot water/dawn dish soap isn't really doing much

I know I wasn’t supposed to but I used a little Dawn, warm water and an electric toothbrush. Worked like a charm and the stamps are fine. Too much labor for all of them so I ordered an ultra sonic cleaner

 

[Sprouty]

Based on this, I'm just gonna stick them all in my dishwasher on "pots and pans" and let God sort them out....

Please post your results.

I was just about to post my concerns over the heat and steam possibly warping or fading...hope that wasn’t the case

Dishwasher high temps guaranteed to seriously warp chips, and likely also cause damage to inlays. Fading would be the least of my worries.

Don't put them in the dishwasher, just use dishwasher detergent.

I put an sks in the dishwasher once. Never could get it to cycle cheap ammo. Not sure if that was the cause or not though.

I just may have to see how bad a chip turns out.

Sks should have been fine as long as it was only metal. Easy was to degrease metal if it's super dirty. Just gotta grease it back up after....

 

[Venturalvn]

Topped off with 2 barrels of Paulson home series. Not spectacular...but not too shabby.

25s and 100s look goooooood.

Your poker room looks like a 90s techno club. I hope the beats are jammin' in there.

 

[FDLmold]

And because nobody is posting a stack that is any bigger, I present these again. Purrrty.

(I've got some other irons in the fire. Depending on how they work out, these will probably be for trade before the end of the year since my Native Lights and Tonkawa plans are all shot to hell now.)

 

[Venturalvn]

Dibs!!


That's gotta count...right?

 

[Venturalvn]

The spots on these 100s are quite stimulating

If you haven't yet, do yourself a favor and get yourself a box of magic erasers for these puppies. I tried a rack with a brush and dawn, and another with warm water dip followed by magic eraser scrub.

The magic eraser not only got then sparkling with just a quick brush, but the scrub brush wasn't even getting the chips back to white after 10 seconds of scrubbing. Not to mention the torture on the hands with the brush.

Top: Magic eraser (2-3 seconds)
Middle: Scrub brush + Dawn dish soap (5-10 seconds)
Bottom: Casino used

I might get a few racks put through the ultrasonic this weekend

What “brand” of magic eraser do you use? Is it a liquid or brush?

 

[BGinGA]

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Extra Power. Not exactly inexpensive, but are more effective cleaners and hold up much better than the cheap knock-offs. Use it dampened.

I had a box of house brand from home depot lying around. HDX Easy Eraser is theirs.

As BG points out there are probably some more durable. I didn't dampen mine, though. Threw the chips in hot water and used the eraser "dry".

 

[BGinGA]

Threw the chips in hot water

Good way to warp chips. Even hot tap water can cause damage. My rule of thumb is if it's too hot for my hand, it's too hot for chips.

It's also a good way to discolor* chips, especially pink/purple/red. (Ask me how I know this.)


EDIT: *permanently

Surely you heard it on a podcast somewhere.

Wasn't too hot for my hand by a long shot, but definitely gonna be weary for the other 18 racks!

 

[kmccormick100]

Ultrasonic + magic eraser on the edges of a barrel = perfection

 

[maxim_666666]

so many times I read about the Magic Eraser.
And only now I understand that this is a trademark of a simple melamine sponge.

^^^^ THIS

I've been using what I thought was a magic eraser:

All it did was leave eraser bits all over my floor.

 

[Venturalvn]

Haven't had time to clean more than 4 racks, but anyone have any pics of theirs in play yet? I can't get over how awesome the color combo on the hundo is.
