Would you believe the blues in between the reds are the same as the ones in the next barrel over? A little oil goes a long way.

Coincidentally I was oiling some blue chips myself last night.

With Paulsons, to oil or not to oil isn't even a question in my mind:

Oil em up everywhere. Get in there in all the little cracks and crevices..

Faces too, why not? Makes the entire chip look waaaaaaaay better

I recently received 500 Jacks Cincinnati $5 chips from the Chip Room Sale. I bought the pre-cleaned chips that were an excellent deal. The chips were very dry and a little faded. I tried the oil and water trick. I bought a strainer and 10 inch bowl at the Dollar Store. I used 2 small plastic spoons full of mineral oil and a little over a quart of water. I added about a half a spoon full of oil for every rack I dunked. Dipping the strainer in the mix seemed to keep the oil and water somewhat mixed. I tried to drop the chips in separately by sliding them off my hand then stirring them by hand for about 15-20 seconds before dumping them on a towel. After they were patted then dry I edge oiled then in plastic racks. I wiped the labels off removing a little mineral oil film. 24 hours later I couldn't be happier. The color is much brighter and crisper, They don't look like the same chips.

You really don't have to stir them if trying oil/water. As long as your oil layer completely sits over the surface of your water, you should be golden.

Oil and water don’t mix. Don’t even try.
