I put 1 of my Fitzgerald quarters in for 1min as a test and my stamp was seriously degraded. Real tsp. 40C. 1min.

Wow never had anything like that with claim stakes, lakeshores, or Tropicana’s. Were Fitzgerald’s hotstamps beat up already?

No. It was a really good condition stamp. Chip was a little dirty. Edge was very dirty. Was hoping I could forgo the magic eraser. Just did 1 as a test at the end of a cleaning session. I had it in the salad spinner with about 10 chips. Very slow rotation. Maybe it was the real tsp? Maybe 40C was too warm? Maybe it was the spinner? Maybe Fitzs stamps are thin? Stamp is still there but noticeably much duller. .....That is why we test first.

Test first for sure. I had issues with my Argosy hot stamp set, but no issues with Crystal Palace stamps. Although those were after the Argosy and were only in the TSP/ultrasonic for about a minute. Grand Casino Gulfport stamps had no issue either. I would always test first as it seems some stamps react differently. At least that's been my experience. Could just be the amount of wear, etc. on the stamp as well.

Ahh yeah I was using Lundmark which advertises at TSP but is actually Sodium Meta-Silicate so maybe that's it?

Sorry you ruined your Fitz hot stamps. I cleaned 3 racks of Fitz metallic gold hot stamps with no damage at all.

Not saying it can’t be improved, but all the things I wrote in the ultrasonic cleaning topic, I wrote for a reason. The type of u/s cleaner, the distilled water, the temperatures, the times, AND the Lundmark fake TSP (really sodium metasilicate).

If you’d stayed away from real trisodium phosphate, your hot stamps would have been fine.

 

[ski_ex5]

I suspect the ultra sonic cleaning action does more to remove the hotstamp than the sodium metasilicate chemical in “tsp”. I am not a chemist, though. Perhaps this calls for an experiment?

Feel free to run the experiment but I can tell you from experience that the Lundmark fake TSP is more important to the cleaning than the ultrasonic action. That said, the ultrasonic action is still quite important to reduce cleaning time, and exposure to the fake TSP.

It was just 1 chip.

And to some other members’ points... Yes, if you run the temperatures too hot and the times too long, you’ll eventually damage the hot stamp. It took me about 7 minutes to visibly damage hit stamps running at recommended temps.

any chance your in Dallas?

 

[ski_ex5]

dj would these be your first set of Dunes, or are you going for the $1s as an add-on? I’m the latter.

 

[djriley]

It's my first. Just starting this adventure.

 

[ski_ex5]

any chance your in Dallas?

Oooo so close. Houston - ha!

 

[djriley]

had a big set 10 years ago.

Dammmm... what a way to start!

 

[ski_ex5]

I concede. I REALLY want to add the $1s to my set, but if these would be your first Dunes, I’d like to see you get them. Awesome favorite chips ever!

 

[ADS Aviator]

No 1's here....

 

[ADS Aviator]

I concede too...
