I haven't come across specific brand recommendations. @grantc54 and I just use the local chain drugstore generic brand.
Walgreens brand works very well.
I had also best results with generic (cheap) non acetone NPR
Don't use the express formulas..these are (too) strong

And always test on each chip you are working in. The colours react differently to the NA NPR and each brand effects chips differently (some are much stronger than others, which is not necessarily preferred).
As @allforcharity mentioned, the local pharmacy brand, London Drugs, works best for me. When I was experimenting I found pink ones were more likely to work, also probably better to avoid the ones with a scent (although the default NPR smell is pretty strong, dont need additional chemicals).
Good luck!

This is what I use as well
So I have noticed the $25 chips are the easiest and usually come off in one piece, followed by the fives, some come off easy and others not so much. The hundos have been a pain but as you can see I have a very limited sample size.
Just got through a few barrels no problem. Your method works great @allforcharity
Used Shoppers brand Quo, Non-Acetone, Ethyl Acetate the first listed ingredient. Chips seem no worse for wear.

This was tougher than what I remembered. Elapsed time, about 10 hours.
I made up a verse while I was removing the inlays, so a nickel to whoever can recognize the artist and song you should sing this to:
"Paper labels, my good friend
You've come to screw me once again
Delaminating without bleeding
Gripping the cutter without cramping
It's the risk we take when we're modding our gambling toys
What's that noise?
It's the sound of scraping"
Unfortunately, I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your dealer.

Of course! Unfortunately, foreign earnings reporting requirements means your entire nickel has been sent to the Canadian government as your estimated marginal tax bracket is 100%.

And that's that. Vinyl inlays much easier to deal with. This was maybe 5 hours.

Circus Circus $1 was pretty easy. 140 chips done in 3.5-4 hours.

Jerry's Nugget LV $1. 20% easy, 80% not-so-easy. About 9 hours for 200 chips.

Were they paper?
Oh yeah.
It’s really not the end of the world, though. The video tutorial method works great. Unless you’re arthritic, it’s not hand-breaking work.
Guess I need to get designing for some gear labels !

My last batch of THC yellows with 312 purple spots (Horseshoe Gardena 5, Dogs, and CdM1) went mostly smoothly. About 25% paper labels. Once you're in the groove even paper scraping gets reasonably efficient.
How were the Casas? I've got a rack to relabel at some point in the future and was considering paying for it instead of doing it myself. I remember delabeling Bally's $1s being rather easy to do myself, but the roulette solids and VLV $25s were like pulling teeth.
