| Much data still needs to be taken, but preliminary experiments indicate that slickness may go up by possibly double-digit percentages- depending on the type of chip.
And if my chipco classics's and JB05's are any indicator, slickness actually increases with wear. I found this observation rather striking, as I expected the opposite to be true. In the chipco's case however, I also noticed that skin oils on worn chips seem to make them 'stickier' than new chips with skin oil. The Paulson's seem somewhat more immune to this. When I tested them, they were all equally washed to achieve some kind of comparitive standard, and I didn't think of a before/after test at the time. Honestly, I didn't expect the variation I am now seeing. I am utterly convinced now that other variables (oil, wear, etc.) play a factor, perhaps a large one. The problem is- how do you specify/quantify the data? e.g.-How much wear? What kind of oil? Oiled/new, oiled/worn? And on...
