Can you @ me in a thread or link me to a video on that. With the chips I have, I haven’t had the need to oil them so I’m not really sure how.

I personally give each chip some TLC with a microfiber cloth to get all excess dust out of the mold. It’s time consuming but this is your custom set. It’s best to bond with each chip intimately. (That’s what she said)

I think the reason is that the fibers “lay down” on the faces under compression, and mix in with the other materials. However, with the grinding (or lathing) phase, the fibers are trimmed and they stick out on the corners and straight out on the rolling edge…almost like a 5-o’clock shadow beard...

Update I have now got my 525 SKYLINE chip set from pokershop.de and I am really happy with them overall. I chose them because I liked the design the most: nice chip face design and large denominations without currency symbol, no stickers that might peel off, nice edge spots, a symmetric face...

I have a chip set and wondering what’s the best process to oil then and best oil to use to do it

I’ll have to try the water oil bath next time. I used a microfibre cloth with mineral oil and went one chip at a time. Happy with the results but will try this method next time.

Doing some work on chips that just arrived from @leo822 Chocolates are up first. They were dirty and thirsty! Spa time and Swedish oil rub. Chocolates all done! Final set pairing reveal once the work is done….

This is a catch and release sale of some chips I just purchased from @leo822 and cleaned this weekend. The pink was simply too close to my red and the watermelon edge spot: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/chip-revitalization-weekend.121166/ These are older heavy THC chips (likely...

I vote to oil them. I just had to make this decision for the Tiger Palace chip set I bought. I bit the bullet and oiled with a microfiber towel and I am very happy with the results. I let them air dry for 4 days. There is still a little residual oil on the labels, but not much and none on the clay.

What the hell?!?

Nice case, what is the name? :) / or the versa from pokershop.de?

Didnt see any exact threads on this discussion, but im sure theres an easy answer or strong opinion on it. Whats the best oil to use for clay chips? Is it mineral spirits, olive oil, canola, vegetable oil? haha

@iLogik has the truth here. Poker chip sellers will call their chips clay, or clay composite, when it just isn’t true. The kind of chips that benefit from oiling are compressed clay, and there are only two manufacturers in the world producing compressed clays right now - Paulson (owned by...

Not sure if anyone tried this method for oiling chips. Bought a 500 set of Outlaw clay composite chips and to no surprise they came with factory dull edges. Needed a bit of oil and I did not want to wait for game play hands to do their magic, so I decided to oil them a bit. Did not have mineral...

True degen chocolate CHIP cookies

that sounds painful. I do a stripe of oil on a washcloth, swipe them by the barrel, wipe them off with a dry cloth, and separate them. Let them dry overnight. 1 rack takes 5 minutes or so. Boom, oiled up and ready to go

That's a good question. When an average chip comes out after 1 minute and is still wet, it looks great! Totally clean and nice saturation. But then the water dries and you can see they've faded as well. The oil brings them right back and they stay looking really healthy. So, in this case...

Good info provided. I asked for photos in case that revealed whether the chips were fakes but I can't tell. Maybe some variation in manufacturer exists that causes some variation in absorbance. But yes, compare to clay there will be much less benefit to oiling.

I took a long time initially too. I've had loads of practice since however. I oil each chip individually, but by now I've perfected my technique and muscle memory that I can oil a rack in 15 to 20 minutes.

I oil my chips like a deranged, avant-garde artist. I'll lay out a towel and spread out a rack or two of chips in rows/columns. I'll then squirt a little bit of mineral oil onto my fingertips, spread it out evenly, and then dab my fingers across the chip face of a barrel or twos worth of...
