Canceled Abbiati 15 chips traveling loan (1 Viewer)

Inspired by @msuroo and his traveling gear labels on Paulson...

Due to interest in a possible Abbiati GB, I’m offering people to borrow my sample set of 15 chips. US only. The cost is just the amount to ship it to the next person on the list or back to me. Post here for interest and I will make a list

They are currently on the way to:
@ReallyGoodUsername
@Davism72
@redwine
@gkitt80
@madforpancakes
@saleen121212
@NotABot
@Ischie
@memphisjason
@BNM
@MarquetteMonkey
@Forty4
@liftapint
@Beaniman
@rowlin - here




Happy Chipping,
Jun

The Abbiati’s won’t need any sanding. They are extremely flat and the soft texture makes them less slick than any plastic chip I have felt. They do pick up hooker juice, which makes them stickier.

What would you most closely relate them to in terms of feel?

That’s tough to describe, it’s like a hard plastic with a rubbery feel. Maybe like plastic caster wheels?

Just received. Will get these out tomorrow to the next person. I would like to get these to @liftapint since she’s ordering 2700+ on the GB but @MarquetteMonkey @Forty4 and @ATLarchip would all have to delay.

So, are all three of you still interested?

 

[Forty4]

I can be skipped

 

[yone]

I can be skipped

That’s really kind of you

 

[BNM]

I can be skipped

That's awesome of you, especially as you are on the GB! Chip Karma x2.

 

[liftapint]

I found some. Thanks!!

 

[BNM]

Okay, then, @MarquetteMonkey, you're up!

 

[ATLarchip]

You can take me off the list please.

 

[MarquetteMonkey]

@Forty4 - Are you next and still interested? I just got these tonight. I know the GB deadline is the 28th so unlikely I could get to you in time, but could get them out tomorrow.

I’m good. I’m just ordering samples.

Ok - so is that @Beaniman then? Still have interest?

 

[realcdn]

I found some. Thanks!!

General impression of the chips Mel? Looks like you haven’t changed your order so I’m assuming you are happy with them.

I’m on the fence about placing a small order and won’t have time to sample so looking for opinions. Biggest concern is slippery’ness.

Oh, I've changed my order. Probably 40 times already. But just small changes...yes, I've kept the overall size of my order about the same. I LOVE them. But I'm a plastic chip convert. My favorite plastic chips so far are B&G. But these are a close second, for me. And the design for the tourney chips...holy cow. I'm in love.

I don't find them slippery. But I'm not the best person to ask.

I'm still interested but not going to make the buy deadline. I can wait and just buy a sample set off someone in the GB later I suppose.

 

[rowlin]

Thank you, yone, for doing this. If it is still an active offer then I am interested in taking a look at them.

I am not participating in the group buy or in any kind of hurry, and will turn them around quickly upon receipt. I have my r4, s2, and v7 on the ready for comparison!

Ok - sorry. Does this mean you would still me to ship to you or no?

Added to the list!

I'll pass.

 

[MarquetteMonkey]

@rowlin sounds like you’re up!

 

[rowlin]

Thank you! I wish my timing was always so fortuitous. Reply sent.

I watched the video of your test with great interest. In the end, what are your conclusions about the process? Will you do it all over your set?

I had to read that you waited for other chips to multiply the tests. In any case, I am eagerly waiting to hear the report.

So my final process is wet sanding with 1500 grit (about 4-5 seconds each side). But for some reason, the wet sanding fades parts of the chip. So I lightly oiled them and they are fantastic. Dry sanding doesn’t have the fading effect.
I like the wet sanding because the paper lasts longer, which means more consistency for me. Also, with wet sanding the chips come out grippier. Even if I wipe the dust off with a damp paper towel.

The chips have returned back home
Thank you guys.
