Sounds risky. Anyone ever tried it?

Dats not gonna be too doable imo. Maybe remove everything and restamp it with a new stamp mimicking the old.....

You're not talking about restoring the original hot stamp are you?

I heard you could be potentially of assistance. Feasible?

I figure it won’t be possible to remove the over stamp without damaging the original. But ideally I would get back to the original design.

Yes
Ok those exact chips
I was able to save a little bit

I used oxi clean carpet cleaner

Maybe. I'm about to order my stamps and do a full 2 rack test run, so if that works, then I'd say yes.

Do you have a picture of the end result ?

I'm not a pessimist at heart, but I don't think this can be done with any reasonable amount of accuracy or success. But then again, I've never tried.

On most i was able to remove the starburst 100% and the rest was chance what stayed behind
I had a couple that you could read the stamp
Most you just saw a slight shading of what’s left

I think this was one of the best I ended up with
Most was left with very little original foil

So, the issues gonna be, removing good foil vs bad foil. You can remove foil, but you are fighting a tiny battle the rest of the way. You could cut good and remove bad, but that's surgery for each chip.

But I think you (as in the initial question, not you) are asking the wrong question here. As if removing all the foil works, Restamping will help cover up some of that old stamp bluring. I'll have Endgame results in 4 weeks-ish, but in testing, using the restamp does help hide the previous blemishes.

If you can re stamp those I have a near rack of them

In all seriousness that’s super helpful - thank you very much for thanking the time @Josh Kifer and @HaRDHouSeiNC! That overstamp seems to have done serious damage to the chip sadly but I’m also really curious to see how close re-stamping can get you to the original design

Hopefully I'll have good results. But everyone will see them when I wrap it up. Just gotta order stamps.

I’ll trade them for other peach
I had 3 racks originally

I’ll not say what happened to two of them
Regretful idea
