Browse this forum all the time but realized I never made an account. Was on chiptalk going all the way back to 2004 or so. Bought and sold many chips. Dyed thousands of faux clays. Figured I'd say hi.

You could dye the white chips with rit dye. Some turned out good, some turned out just ok. I should still have some around. I’ll have to dig them out when I get a chance.

Found these pics on my PC. Can see from the date stamps how far back it was. I’m not sure where they all are now but I never got rid of them so probably in storage.

There wasn't much to it really. Back then, the white faux clays were readily available and all you needed was a bucket full of rit dye to dump them in. I'm sure quite a few of the members here remember those days. The faux clays were really popular. Was a cheap plastic chip that sounded just like a casino chip when shuffled and had cross hatching. I still have all my non dyed original colors.

Some got a little more creative with their faux clays. I didn't dye these, and I'm not sure where I got them from...

[DallasAch]

Lol. I totally remember all the rigs that held chips half into a cup of dye. Pretty sure I remember people even attempting their own edge spots.
