Best way to oil chips? (4 Viewers)

[ramenlc]

Hi all,
I recently bought a set of Majestic chips for Apache, and would like some advice on how to oil them. Firstly, should I clean the chips in water + dish soap first? After that, should I be compression oiling or doing the mineral oil + water trick? I've seen mixed opinions on whether compression oiling truly makes that big of a difference compared to mineral oil + water.
Thanks all!

An entire thread on oiling and lots of feedback on different techniques here. You will also see lots of opinions on oil vs. no-oil.

For Majestics, "compression" oiling isn't going to do you any good. There's nothing to soak up the oil on those chips.

Yeah I read through that thread already, so is cleaning and mineral oil with water the best approach?

I have never owned Majesics, so I can't say what might be "correct". A quick search brought up a couple threads that have more info:

...and it looks like the answer is extremely light oil, if at all.

A few drops of mineral oil on th corner of a cloth will do. Grab a barrel of chips and wipe a thin film on just the edges. Then wipe off each chip with a different cloth, while wiping the faces as well. Simple.
No need to get into all that "compression" BS, or leaving them out to "dry". After a small wipedown, pop them back in whatever case you have and call it a day.

oh rly, why in the thread are ppl going all out and doing the mineral + oil method or even compression oiling their majestics . This is all a little confusing if the simple solution is to just wipe them with oil.

They’re overthinking it, just not necessary.

This and then roll around in them

They’re non porous so they’re not going to absorb much if any at all. Simple cleaning in cold water or damp cloth to get off the dust. Oiling them will probably make them unnecessarily slippery.

The simple solution would be for us to all have dice chips.
