Help me remove Bud Jones v7 labels with brass insert (1 Viewer)

[kaimat]

I just pulled the trigger on a huge set of labels from @Gear and thought removing labels from my new v7 chips would be as easy as from the s2 chips I already de-labeled...boy was I wrong.

These things pull up fine from the plastic, but I'm being forced to scrape like hell on each brass insert to get the label removed. Any tips or tricks from people who have done this before?

Get an xacto knife set and use a straight blade to scrape off the leftovers

You can try soaking the chips dawn and warm water before you removed them. You can also soak the chip in the pic too and that will help get the residue off.
I really didn't have a problem getting the labels off my weighted S2s.

No magic bullet, but here is how I recently did 100 43mm Card Casino Vienna Bud Jones v7 chips. Used exact knife to get under the label and then very very slowly would pull up the plastic/label in one piece. If the label started ripping I would stop and start at a different part of the label. After a dozen or so you definitely get the hang of it and you will get better at getting them off in one piece. Inevitably there are some where the label rips and in all cases there was a glue residue left over. Not sure if that needs to be removed prior to relabel but I'm OCD so I did it. I used finger nail polish remover and Q-tips. I was careful to only touch the brass part of the chip. This worked well for removing both residual label fragments and also the glue. I would estimate around 1 Q-tip per chip. I did it while watching football so it felt like it went pretty quick even though I would estimate 4-5 hours total to remove and relabel the one rack. Good luck.

Non acetone nail polish remover - pour a little bit on top of the label once you’ve removed the top plastic laminate. Wait 30 secs and it should easily scrape right off. Also, the advantage of Bud Jones is that you can soak them in nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol and not have it damage the chips like clay would have.

This is not always true! Proceed with caution.

Noted, YMMV. Rubbing alcohol at least shouldn’t damage the plastic.
