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
Yeah, careful with skin absorption while oiling chips..it's in the laxative section.
Really.
We are on our 5th bottle on Mineral Oil brother!Nothing with any organic compounds as those can spoil (like olive oil). Plain, old, unscented mineral oil. No additives, no organic compounds. 1 $2 bottle from Walmart will last you a lifetime.

In the U.S., paraffin oil is refined kerosene, or lamp oil.In Europe, of course, "mineral oil" will get you some obsolete engine lubricant, for ancient truck diesel engines.
For European members, it's called "paraffin oil", sold in Pharmacies and raising eyebrows when it comes to the quantity you 'll ask for (i.e. how constipated you are, and how much anal sex you have).
I could do without the latter.(i.e. how constipated you are, and how much anal sex you have).
I should clarify, Ben; when I said "lifetime", I meant the lifespan of us mere mortals. For the omni-chipping beings known as Ben and Brie, I would expect nothing less than 5 bottles of oil.We are on our 5th bottle on Mineral Oil brother!
?? I gotta ask what terms were you searching for? I know of one thread where someone used olive oil and everyone yelled at him lol. It's the only result when you search titles for "olive oil" with quotes.Didnt see any exact threads on this discussion
back to topic: def mineral oil !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
I HIGHLY recommend using oil "gel". Just be sure to get unscented, unless you want your set to smell like suntan lotion/beach.
I think this one is probably unscented. Something like this. I 100% believe that this makes a difference in color of your chips, if you use this rather than just regular mineral oil. @JeepologyOffroad has tried this too, and might be willing to weigh in.

Be careful if they have sensitive inlays. Although, even with those, I think the gel is a lot safer than mineral oil!I''l try anything.
My TRK's need a SPA night.
never had a TRK inlay soak up oil (like BCC), but will proceed with caution...Be careful if they have sensitive inlays. Although, even with those, I think the gel is a lot safer than mineral oil!
+1 this. Just use mineral oil.We are on our 5th bottle on Mineral Oil brother!
There's not a problem that I can't fix
I bought a bunch of Jacks Cinci chips that had been cleaned but were dry. I found the mineral oil / water dip did a great job on them.Didnt see any exact threads on this discussion, but im sure theres an easy answer or strong opinion on it.

I bought a bunch of Jacks Cincinatti chips that had been cleaned but were pretty dry. I used the mineral oil / water dip method that worked great. I laid them on a towel for a day and they looked great.Didnt see any exact threads on this discussion, but im sure theres an easy answer or strong opinion on it.

Compression method does a much better job, I did the water/oil method in the beginning... in a couple of months those chips will be totally dry again. Not saying this doesn't also occur with Compression oiling... all depends on the amount of use the chips get as natural hand oils will also be a factor in keeping your chips shinny. But if they sit for a couple months they will start looking chalky and dry again.I bought a bunch of Jacks Cinci chips that had been cleaned but were dry.

This is gruesome and prohibitive for the learner.Just be aware that dipping chips in an oil/water mixture will not provide 100% chip coverage (it's science) unless some other action is performed to ensure the oil is spread across the entire surface area of all chips.
The dip-and-air-dry method will produce blotchy results, guaranteed.
