Just removed hotstamp from 625 St Jo's. Started out with the Nail polish remover method and it was clear a cleaning was gonna be needed after done (esspecially with the whites) (these were the new uncirculated and did not need cleaning prior to hotstamp removal). while at store getting more remover, came across some of the Rubbing alcohol (ethyl alcohol type) mentioned by Johnny5. so i got some to try. It worked great as (as long as i kept it fairly fresh by changing out every couple batches of chips).

what i also noticed in addition to the hot stamp coming off much easier was how clean they still looked. which leads me to believe no cleaning step may be needed (i probally will try cleaner on few for comparison and to determine weather its needed with this method of hot stamp removal)..

This was for new chips, used would/may still require cleaning step
