Are you using a nail brush before the magic eraser after they soak? It should get most of that out of the canes.Still need another round to clean the hats and canes, but huge progress with the first round of oxi clean. View attachment 837201View attachment 837202
No, I just did the magic eraser - thank you for this pro tip! That will be the finishing touch, then prep for milling!Are you using a nail brush before the magic eraser after they soak? It should get most of that out of the canes.

Yep, they’re going to be milled so I don’t mind the stamps being destroyed. Just want to get them clean.It sure ripped out those hot stamps. You did want that, right? Prep for milling?

I have a secret... I worked for Paulson in the '80s and I was in charge of only the purple chips. I just couldn't figure out which purple I liked better, so I just mixed up all the colors and ran them all. #PurpleChipWhoreMan talk about color variations, @BearMetal can tell you all about the shades of purples from the late 80s

Combination ultra sonic and elbow grease.
I can't believe how bright the yellow is now.

Those look incredible!!
I actually had an eBay seller argue with me that because the chips were so dirty that made them more rare and valuable. She claimed some collectors actually prefer that.Had a very interesting conversation with a "non-collector" (most likely) today and this guy was so proud of his Excalibur roulette chip that he personally pocketed when he was done playing. I understand that you actually played with the chip and you took it home with you, but I would HAVE to clean a chip if it was dirty. All the singles I get now a days gets cleaned immediately when I receive it. Even if it's got just the tiniest bit of gunk on it, cleaned. Drives me crazy seeing dirty chips in my collection.
Yes but that was about the Katrina chips... sorry but I guess I "destroyed their value"I actually had an eBay seller argue with me that because the chips were so dirty that made them more rare and valuable. She claimed some collectors actually prefer that.
Needless to say that was an awkward feedback review
