Tina Faux Hot Staps? (1 Viewer)

[BigJackJones]

I have seen a couple examples of faux hot stamps on Tinas, but I would like to see yours. If you have done this, please post pics.

If you haven’t done this, feel free to mock me viciously. (That way everyone can play in the sandbox)

And silver foil stamp idea for the Private Cardroom button:

Wow, they look convincing with the "glare" effects.

Dead ringer for the real deal.

Okay, for bonus points, have you toyed with a faux coin inlay?

I need to find a better reflective metal texture, but this is a start:

Probably my favorite.

The faux stamps are cool, but just curious, are ceramics hotstampable? Would it just melt the plastic?

The potential issue I see is that when hotstamps are made, some plastic squishes out the edges of the stamp and will sit proud of the surface. I imagine they wouldn't stack the same after stamping.
Maybe the stamping can be done with a minimal amount of melting into the surface? Not sure....

Hot Stamps have been used on plastic super diamonds in the past. It's my understanding having this done with such chips costs more than doing it on compression clay chips. Maybe it requires a more involved process/greater care.

I own almost 4000 older Marion Heavy Diamond plastic chips. I don't know if any are made better than these. Almost all of them are still in mint condition. I'm sure they would take stamping as well as any out there. I just don't want to spend the money to do it.

I would, on the other hand, purchase some faux stamps that look as nice as some of the chips posted in this this thread.

Do I detect a Casino Aztar hotstamp tribute?

Good idea. A set of those stamps would probably be my ultimate grail set.

Just speculating- should be less of an issue with chips with a recess like the Tina hybrids?

Yup. That was the goal

Unfortunately, it can’t be done. One side has injection mold marks in the recess:
