Pull oil out? (1 Viewer)

[jake8907]

So I oiled some of my chips over a month ago and there just seems to be a slight remainder over the label that doesn't want to come off. Any tricks to absorb it off of it or to buff it into the chip?

No tricks. Just lay it on top of an absorbent surface. Towel, extra bedsheet, paper towels, etc.

I did a test once on a chip that I purposely over-oiled. Visible surface oil that you can't get rid of can just be absorbed by a paper towel like @allforcharity said. But I found that if the problem is that the chip absorbed all the oil and now looks slick and feels slippery, that a paper towel may not draw that oil back out. I first washed the chip with a little bit of degreasing soap, but that once again doesn't draw the oil out. I then put it in my ultrasonic with some TSP which drew the oils out and returned the chip to its thirsty state.

So, the real lesson is: don't over-oil.
