Doesn’t seem to hurt a thing only for the few seconds they were wet.

I oil a barrel at a time. Less is more imo. I also agree with only oiling the edges of the chips.

CPC's NEED oil!!
Maybe I'm paranoid but I wouldn't submerge CPCs. I also apply a bit of oil on the edge and a bit of that gets onto the face of the chip.

Nope.... again, less is more!

Slight thread derail, do CPCs seem to be a harder material than paulsons?

Based on falls my chips have taken, both CPC and Paulson, CPC is better in the durability category. At least for me. A dropped Paulson typically dents the spot that hits the floor.
CPC I’ve dropped in the same fashion don’t dent in the same way.
As well, I’ll give RHC even further negative points, since even splashing the pot with an RHC can render it damaged where the hat and cane meet the edge too close on some chips. I (someone) broke a Jack Detroit $500P on a maiden felting because of this. Just ridiculous.
CPC is better for durability. I’ll stand by this statement. Harder materials? Unknown to me
Do they fade back to that condition after a while? Or is it more of a situation like oil them out of the box, then as long as they get played from time to time they’re good?

I noticed that RHC seem to have a rather soft feel. I dont have any true THC to compare to, just a sample set of WTHC, but they seem closer to CPC hardness than RHC hardness. CPC seems to be somewhat drier material than RHC as well if that makes sense.
Well, I think that it depends on different factors (material of clay, humidity and temperature while storing them)… I have a set of 15 year old ASM and they have been played about 30times at max (shame on me). I oiled them 2 or 3 times in all these years, last time about 8 years ago. I just oiled the edges a bit. Once the clay is saturated it couldn’t take more oil and even that the last oiling has been a long time ago, I can slightly still „feel“ that they have been oiled, due to the smooth surface of these edges. After some ours of play/shuffling my fingers feels just a bit oily as well. Yes: these chips ain’t that shiny anymore, but on the other hand I have some concerns that another oiling process will have an effect on my speedcloth as well, even that this material is strong as hell and can stand some cleaning. Maybe some guys with a real felt/cloth can share their experiences on how oiled chips affect the felt itself and if there has to be some deep cleaning of the felt as well because of these oiled chips that getting shoved over the table ….

This.....i have only ever oiled them once
My first CPC set got oiled 100% by hand, chip by chip. I think that was overkill.
For new CPC's now I'll:
1) Wipe down the rolling edge with a damp washcloth to remove lose factory dust. I do this a barrel at a time.
2) Wait 24 hrs for any moisture to evaporate.
3) Apply mineral oil to a clean washcloth and then apply to the rolling edge; also done a barrel at a time.
4) Wait 24 hrs and then absorb any excess oil on barrels with a quick wipe from a paper towel.
