Removing foil from what I believe are old Bud Jones (4 Viewers)

[ChippinUp]

I recently picked up some what I believe to be old bud jones. Intention was to make a small travelling tournament set to bring to an upcoming golf trip. If I end up losing a few, spilling something on them etc it’s not a big issue after paying $25 on marketplace

The weird thing is they appear to be cancelled using a sold foil label. I’m assuming this was applied with heat because it won’t peel off and differs from other cancellation stamps I’ve had in the past.

Is it even possible to remove this thicker foil from plastics?

Acetone takes it off pretty easily but it’s a mess underneath.

Now I wonder what would happen to these if I put them in the drill press using the milling jig….

Try isopropyl. I've done it on Paulsons successfully. Takes a little elbow grease though.

You will hit the metal slug.

Those chips are screwed. Plastic is melted. All you can do is mill and it won’t be pretty

I’ve toyed with the idea of making a “textured” hot stamp to stamp over stamp chips with before the foil stamp. Basically add the texture with no foil, then stamp a foil stamp over that. Re-level the surface.

But this is waaay too extreme texture.

Yep it’s brutal. I had not idea how heavily textured it would be from the foil stamp. I think this is a lost cause
