Advice on how to maintain Paulson Pharaoh (1 Viewer)

[kmikze89]

Hi,

So i have a Paulson Pharaoh set that has been used 2-3 times and has been sitting since in a wooden box tray.
Is there any maintenance to be done on the chips in regards to cleaning or hydration of the chips?
I attached also a photo with the box in which they are kept.

Just keep them out of high temperature environments or where temps shift frequently with moisture. This will prolong your case life as well as prevent chips warping. Otherwise unless your players ate wings or spilled beer on your chips they should be fine to sit for years. As for cleaning, dumping them in the sink with dish soap is fine or a short stint in the ultrasonic would do the trick too. Some people put mineral oil on their chips but I have never done so....either is fine. Chips are a composite plastic so they will likely outlive us all unless tampered with.

Thanks for the info!
They're sitting unused and just wanted to know if anything should be done to prevent time wear.

The only recommendation I have is…take them out and play them!

No time to play. Most of my friends don't play anymore due to wife and kids. Some are going for "healthy" lifestyles so mo more lost nights, deinking, smoking etc Also some can't afford losing money anymore...

Brand new Paulsons won't need to be washed and oiled for hundreds of hours of play, just use the damn things.

Give ‘em time. They’ll all come around.

Kids get older, lose interest in parents. Whatever you do, don't sell the chips, OP!
