Hey little boy!
If your mommy and daddy can get you a real casino chip to fondle, you might want to think about the oils that have been used on that chip. The can indeed include olive oil, but also poultry or bovine oils such as those that come off of fried chicken, hotdogs, or hamburgers, mineral oils from baby oil or hand lotions, various human secretions, petroleum based oils and lubricants (including petroleum jelly), cooking oils.

Just remember that this oiling chips stuff is just a fantasy play extension of a practice that chip collectors use to bring out sheen in chips for display. The majority of users of clay chips (both casino ahd consumer level) would not oil these chips for normal use.)

The only time I did oil chips was on the suggestion of Dennis O'Niell at TR King to mask a manufacturing by-product on some chips that he had a large hot stamp on. And he did recommend 3-in-1 oil. I got the mineral oil stuff from the CC&GTCC site. And yes, olive oil will work though it is a little expensive to use for this purpose, I only did it to a few chips that I had missed because a bottle was nearby. Realistically, I wouldn't bother with new clay chips. I like the chalky feeling of them when they're new, they don't stay that way.

Can I suggest that you try posting based upon real-life experience rather than on posting based upon what you may have read from some other posting.

im sorry i called you a stupid son of a *****, that must not have made you feel good..however, you do bring up a good point..players hands at the casinos have oils and grease all over them. You dont see those chips becomming rancid. They may only have a small amount on there hands but the chips are still in good condition. Just dont soak your chips in the effing oil.

People parroting other postings about subject areas they know very little about are unfortunately a common occurance on any message board. Also unfortunate is how seemingly sensible people can become completely gullible idiots from believing what they read and believe to be gospel from such discussion areas. But alas, were it not for such easy pickin's the scammers on eBay would have no victims.

BTW, have you ever considered cleaning up your potty-mouthed postings? It really does't make you appear any more mature.

Almost all the pics I have seen of oiled chips have been ASMs or Blue Chips (NJs). Does anyone have pics of Paulsons oiled and non-oiled? I'd be interested to see if it did anything to them since the composition is so different from ASM or BC.

Why do you think the composition 'is so different'?
The effect is pretty much the same. It adds a little sheen to the chip and it looks more shiny in a picture, the oily surface will make the color seem more saturated and add a bit of reflectance to the chip. The effect differs little whether the chip being oiled is a GPI, ASM, BlueChip, or TR King. It just makes the dull part look a little shinier until the oil wears off, then it goes back to being dull.

The structure of oil changes after it has been heated to high temperatures, whether it is vegetable oil in a deep fryer or motor oil from your car engine.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that you use any form of used oil on your chips, and you certainly shouldn't use or even have skin contact with used motor oil.

Oil in a Fry Daddy for a month ... very nice, I almost threw my lunch up on the screen.

I believe that what you are doing is hastening the process that naturally occurs over time with oil from your skin. If you played with the chips enough (e.g. 24x7 like in a casino) you wouldn't need to oil them, but if you want that nice, rich look to your new ASMs, then oil them up. It definitely makes a huge difference. I did 6 different colors of my customs a week or so ago and their colors are much richer and deeper after oiling. It also makes the brass flecks sparkle on the edges. They look fantastic (particularly the black based and the mandarin red based chips)
