Lead tape? New-age Paulson slug? (2 Viewers)

The one I posted is 10 mils which is about 2.5mm 0.25mm

Or 0.010”…

3M 420 lead foil tape is 0.0068” (total thickness)….for that authentic leaded feel.

*this product may contain up to 40% cotton (by volume).

wouldn't lead tape be rather malleable, easily dented, so something pressed down on the inlay and now you have a depression ??

 

[jamesjkim]

I would expect the lead tape to be pressed onto the inlay recess then put a label over it per usual. Don’t see how that would “dent” further.

Would you shape the tape in the same shape as the inlay? I would think there would be a bump as the tape wouldn't be as flat as inlay stickers.

 

[jamesjkim]

I would cut out a 7/8” circle or whatever matches the diameter of the inlay.

Sell the chips you are going to ruin, save the cash from this project and put it toward a set you like.

As promised, this is the C&J chip I mentioned last night.

It's more likely a sample as I see it has also been canceled. I had forgotten that fact until I took it out of the the display case for the photo. Still in the Air-tite, so a bit of a reflection, but it's clear what they did for this generation of chips.

Someone should just cast some chips with 100% molten lead and be done with it.

Is this the origin of the term “bullet”?

I doubt it. I haven't had an original thought in 37 years.
