Anyone ever oiled Faux ?
Is there a difference between oiling original or dyed Faux ?

[jojobinks]

people oil clay b/c they're porous. the chips absorb the oil and it mitigates the natural dryness of the material.

faux clay are not porous. you're just gonna end up with an oily plastic chip. don't do it. also, fauxs aren't dry, so they don't need it.

If you're really itching to oil some chips, get some of these:

(or their hot-stamped counterparts). Then you'll see a tremendous difference!

I have oiled original faux clay chips with excellent results. I know, I know, it sounds stupid and sounds like it would never work.

I had to use soap, solvent and aggressive scrubbing to remove some adhesive and it left the chips looking washed out.

I added a touch of pure mineral oil, just like I would clay, and the differece was day and night... without oily residue.

It works. Period. I would have called BS had I not seen it myself.

Not stupid - after all, FCs take up the dye and, as anyone who has dyed them can attest, they are softer and sound different after boiling (until they dry out).

Personally, I think that FC's are slightly porous so they can possibly take up oil.
