Official Chip Cleaning Before and After Pics Thread (1 Viewer)

Post your before and after chip cleaning photos with a quick tutorial on the method you used.

For these old school Paulsons I used Palmolive dish washing liquid with warm water and TSP mixed together. I soaked for an hour and then scrubbed with a toothbrush to get the grime from the rim and hat/cane area and then a quick swipe on the face and edge with a majic eraser. They were dried and oiled with mineral oil. Excess oil was cleaned off with a soft towel.

Please post yours.

Trisodium Phosphate. It's a surficant/surface cleaner. Trisodium metasilicate - sometimes advertised as TSP - also works.

Thanks lift!

I never really measured, I just use the dishwashing liquid on the dry chips, shake the TSP on top and then put warm water to just above the chip line on however many chips I'm doing.

Probably equals about a spoonful per gallon of water.

PBCL chips rescued from Dominican Republic. Standard 2tsp TSP ultrasonic method followed by mineral oil.

Sorry actually its tbsp, but I couldn't resist.
