Scotch-brite for smoothening edges? (1 Viewer)

[IamMattDamon]

Saw this Youtube video a while ago of guy that had bought some Desert Heat chips from Claysmith gaming (clay composit chips), but could not locate the video anymore.
He said that these chips could have some rough edges and feel sharp, so he used some "scotch brite pads" (or something like that) to smoothen the chips out.

I've been at many hardware stores locally and could not find anything that resembles what he was using.
Made a quick search on Amazon and found this:

https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Brite-Non-Scratch-Scrub-Sponge-12-Sponges/dp/B0044D5EI2/ref=sr_1_48?crid=3SOTJ7TC701FF&keywords=scotch-brite+non-scratch+plastic+scrubbing+pads,+3+count&qid=1565997991&s=gateway&sprefix=scotch+brite+pads+for+plastic,aps,293&sr=8-48

Do you guys think I can use it for the purpose of smoothing out the sharper edges on the chip, or do you have other tips or products I can use? Any input would be amazing.

Have a nice weekend!

Why would you want to smoothen out sharp edges? Most chippers would kill to maintain sharp edges.

 

[IamMattDamon]

I am not looking to smoothen them so that they feel used, but rather smoothen out plastic "spilling" if I can call it that.
These are cheaper chips, so from the manifacturer some of the chips will have some spillings of plastic residue from the chip itself and the edgespots.
I just need something to smoothen out these imperfections, not to make em feel used

Sounds dumb, but very fine wet sandpaper?

I’d start with 400-grit and move coarser from there.

Might find similar at grocery store near dish washing section.

Also, when I think of scotch brite... it isn’t a sponge... it’s a pad like this:

Either version -- your link or Shaggy's -- will work to smooth the rough edges often found on cheap plastic chips.

Every grocery store I know of (plus Walmart) sells 'em cheaper than Amazon.

A fine-grit emery board (used on fingernails) will also work.

Sure thing! I won't get the delivery in another 7-10 days though, so I'll try to remember it I'll add some photos of my home game setup as it's starting to look really nice here

I was under the impression that sharp edges were deemed valuable by most...

The OP isn't talking about sharp edges he is talking about excess from the injection molding process.

I used this on the edges of all 2000 of my Bluff Canyon Casino chips (same composite chips from the same manufacturer) to get rid of that. These sanding blocks make wet sanding easy!

The excess material that runs around the side is known as flash.
