I just finished cleaning 500 paulson chips with pipe shield and it did an amazing job. However, they are left with a strong cleaner smell that I'd like to get rid of. I was thinking of soaking them in oxyclean for 3 hours or so - does anyone have any other ideas? I don't obliviously don't want to damage the chips with multiple cleanings.

Gave them an oxybath for an hour or so and it knocked out 75% of the smell.

I hope these are not clay chips you are soaking!

You soaked Paulsons in Oxyclean without damaging them??? I assume it was a really weak mixture of Oxyclean - I have read that Oxyclean dissentegrates clay chips

I've used oxyclean on st joe's and tukwila's, soaked them both. no damage what so ever.

try baking soda?

Oxyclean dissolves ASMs fairly rapidly, but Paulsons can hold up to a pretty good soaking. (I've cleaned a rack of Silks $1 that way.) But ALWAYS test a few before throwing in a rack.

I think the interview with Jim Blanchard from ASM discussed differences in how their chips are made (no doubt that is the reason for the big difference.)

zero damage to paulsons after the soaking.

personally, I like the smell of pipe shield!!!



(and I've soaked paulsons for hours and haven't had any problems)

I have cleaned some chips with oxi but I only had them in the mixture for a few minutes and that cleaned them good enough.
I guess this is a bit off topic but I thought that you'd like to know.
