I thought this was pretty interesting and might be worth a try with some my ES $1s at some point. Is this the method Gear uses to remove labels too? Does the hot water damage the texture of the chip and can it cause warping?

In the Chiptalk thread about it the former owner/manager of BCC raised some interesting concerns:
I agree that it can be construed as a guide for chip counterfeiting, but putting aside the usage of copyrighted images and just focusing on the removing inlays and replacing them with something else, isn't the first sale doctrine applicable here?

Being a chip manufacturer this thread really disturbs me. It basically disregards copyrights and trademarks, and is a how to for not just removing inlays but counterfeiting chips.
I do not agree with censorship, even though I would like to see this thread go away; but I do believe in ethics and a responsibility to promote doing what is right, legally and morally.
