Sounds fine to me, maybe you need to turn down your speakers.

The period at the end of the thread title says it means business.

Speaking of, curious if you able to keep the diameter of the treated chips equal/repeatable?

They are. All the same. There’s a device that insures that.

 

[RivieraDanny]

I'm curious, are you able to do a barrel at a time or are you doing each chip individually?

More than a barrel. Less than a rack.

I think this looks nice and I thought it looked nice when Mel first did it a while back. My view is the same as how I view removing inlays and replacing them with stickers. It looks nice if you intend on keeping them but once they leave the hands of the person reconditioning them there is a chance that they get resold as near mint when they actually are not.

Ya know. I thought hard about that. And that’s why I didn’t keep quiet about it. And posting frequent updates. I think most “treated chips will be detectable.also thought about an UV mark IF TOO CLOSE

There is potential!

These look great. And I have no problem with the process, since I abhor the look of bicycle tire chips.

That said, if chips are shaved down .5mm every generation or so, in a century 36mm will be standard for vintage sets…

So...does anyone have a set of PCA primary bike tyres for sale?

[RivieraDanny]

Little loss at all……

 

[Lil Tuna]

Very nice looking Dan. I would have built me a set of JBs way back when if I knew you’d be coming up with this magic.

Think of the children.

Or at least the great-grandchildren.

There is no aborted fetal material used in this process!

Discovery: Oiled chips MUST be de-oiled for the process!

 

[RivieraDanny]

Oil = No Bueno!

Well, that's easy. Just wash them with detergent. Re-oil them after surgery.

Even dawn will strip oil off really well

agreed! The Eldorado 1's had something on them was very stubborn!

When are you going to start taking commissions?

Also, I feel like your process needs a name... scalping?
