| Re: Blue chips
The way I did mine:
(I first started with q-tips dipped in oil, but that was taking too long.. so
I came up with this method)
Place folded paper towel on plate, soak with mineral oil, but not too much
(maybe 1 tablespoon then add more as you go).
place one side of chip on paper towel, press down gently and rotate, flip and repeat, then roll a little of the edge on oiled towel too.
Spin chip between fingers, rubbing rolling edge with one hand and the face (outside the inlay area) with the other hand, this distributes the oil around the edge and the face (basically you're pinching the chip face and spinning it by the edge)
let sit for awhile (5-10 minutes) then drag both faces across a towel.
I arranged 50 chips on a 1/2 of a large towel, oiled all 50, then dragged them across the towel (to the other half of the towel). Took about 2 hours to do all 500 chips.
