Needed a frac for my weekly .25¢/.50¢ game so I tried my hand at a relabel job. I don’t think my regulars have a keen enough eye to catch the fraud lol

Overlabeled? Murder?

 

[GrindstonePoker]

I tried to murder one but went with an over label. Much easier and looks better

Less of a murder and more of a maim

Will agree they look pretty cool, if there's a recess the overlabel should be fine. It looks like there is. If not, they could get a little wobbly from being thicker in the middle

The CPs seem to be a perfect candidate given the faux spots printed on the outer part of the inlay.

Just enough of a recess

Most of the time it doesn't work because most of the time there is other crap (text, parts of photos, etc) that cannot be covered by the label. The Crystal Parks are about the only chips I know of, that have oversized inlays that might be viable over-label candidates. (You still have the wonky spots-printed-on-the-inlays to deal with, but at least there's no bits of text or other weirdness peeking out.)

+1 for overlabels

This should be more of a thing, overlabels look better than inlay replacements / milling on almost everything

I would say the opposite is true

the people were astonished at his doctrine

I like over labeling because it keeps the original integrity of the chip. You can always peel off. That is all contingent on if the over label sits below or flush with the chip.
These labels will get me by for now but I’m a tinkerer and will likely experiment on the maimed chip to try and improve

The over label here looks pretty good! Different chips will give different results. I did overlabel one some Scandia 1s to make fracs and it looked pretty good. My label replacement Aurora Star snappers turned into fracs look as good as originals in my opinion.

Thanks! It was my first relabel project. If you work with @Gear he'll steer you in the right direction and the results will come amazingly well.

Looks absolutely class, I have to say!

Made some changes with the fracs and I’m happy with them for now. Probably will look to improve at a later date.
Here is my cash set breakdown

I'd love to have those crystal 5s and that blue one. So good

You can try to peel off an overlabel, but there are potential problems with that as well. If the overlabel has had a good long time to cure (which should be assumed):

1) Peeling the overlabel off will still leave a sticky epoxy residue on the face of the chip on top of the laminate, and that can still be a real bitch to clean off. This happens 100% of the time.
2) You might pull the protective laminate layer off the original inlay with the overlabel, and you have permanently marred its integrity. This happens a few % of the time.

Use a mild adhesive solvent to remove an overlabel. "Un-du" is one such brand name; it's marketed to scrapbookers as a way to lift, remove, and reposition paper and photos that have been glued in place. I use it to remove stubborn labels off of retail products, and it works great.

I haven't tried it, but I suspect that Un-du will soften and remove the adhesive holding an overlabel in place without dislodging the laminate layer from the inlay, which is held in place by a much stronger bond.

Un-du is heptane. There may be other similar products available; I haven't looked recently.
