Questions about Cleaning and Flattening BCCs (1 Viewer)

[Goldfish]

I have used the ultrasonic to clean, and heating pad method to flatten, a great many Paulsons. I have not tried either of these methods on BCCs.

Does anyone have any insight into using these methods on BCC chips? Do I need to do anything differently as compared to Paulsons?

I need to clean and flatten a bunch of BCC chips. Any help from anyone that has previously done this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I tried to flatten BCC Capone’s chips to no avail. They were easily damaged and would “squish” or “dimple” around the edges. Not sure if other BCC’s would respond the same.

Somebody just posted about flattening BCCs in the last week. The previous owner had failed at flattening them and the edges were all concave. So maybe proceed with caution.

I’ve had good success with just clamping them with no heat and leaving them for a few days. Takes longer, and I understand that in this instant gratification universe it’s not acceptable, but it does work.

Yes sir that is my post above. I've been heating the chips to ~110F with the heated blanket method, organizing with the 3D printed flattening rack, and very lightly clamping. The barrel can be easily spun in the clamp. I would say ~30% success rate. Some of mine have been through this process 4 times and still spin like a top on my granite counter.

Cleaning I have had zero issues with. Warm water soak with a bit of unscented liquid laundry detergent and some dawn dish soap, brush clean and dry. I've had no issues with color loss and zero label issues with my inplays. *Edit - I don't have an ultrasonic so can't comment on that
