View Poll Results: See OP. Should I UV-mark my Samurais? | |

No. It's just a waste of time unless you have serious security concerns.

You need to get out more and absorb some real UV light 
Whatever turns you on man. It's your hobby

Yes, there's a beach in Toronto.
Go here for some beach volleyball pr0n.  |

So far I'm the only one who voted NOOOO!!! (And yes, I would take your samurais: I only have about 900, not nearly enough!)
Sure it is a fun idea, but I wouldn't want to risk them. And what about Joe's point: spend all that time marking them, and then the ink wears off? Cool idea, but I say don't hurt them -- please! |

If I were going to do this, I would cut a template out of something like a small sheet of tin, (even possibly the walls of a cut apart soda can) with and X-Acto knife, and buy some UV reactive paint and and spray them with an airbrush, possibly spraying a small amount of fixative over the paint with a slightly larger template (like the size of the whole inlay, but not the chip)
It would be cool, but sounds more like a waste of time unless you know for sure it will not wear off. It took me like 5 hours to oil my 1000 asms and I wasn't even looking at them most of the time. |

But unlike oiling, this isn't a super-messy project that I'd want to finish in one go. I could do 50 chips at a time (at most, one denom at a time, to make it simple) spread out over several weeks or even months until they're all done. There's no hurry to get the whole set done or anything. And I would definitely do my cash set (300 chips + spares) first. Then maybe my tourney set (now over 800 - that would take a while). I also have some non-denoms on order. That reminds me, I'll need to pick up more mineral oil...
I guess I could just do my cash $5s (since those are the highest priority; most likely to get duped, as far as security is concerned - not that that's really my goal, but...). After the next few cash games, I could see how it's holding up on those and then try the other denoms if I'm satisfied.  |

Well as much as wives will help you do something that they didn't really want to do initially. |

Great idea. I know the markers are permanent, but wondering how they would really last. Also what mark were you thinking of? |
