I think I am going to start a poker chip not for profit business... (1 Viewer)

...where people send me their chips and I oil them and send them back.

Oddly enough, I greatly enjoy oiling chips with a fine paintbrush, one at a time while watching Netflix.

It's very enjoyable for me.

I'm not that far away, you can come to my house and oil my chips.

Best oiling technique (and it escapes me at the moment who I learned about this from here on PCF): Fill a bowl of warm water, then add a bit of min oil to the water, and simply rinse/soak the chips, mixing by hand for a little bit. Then drain (I use a strainer inside the bowl, so that I can simply lift out the chips). Then lay the chips out on a towel to dry. The chips pic up a lot of oil and there's ZERO rubbing, etc... Not sure how well this works for china clays or labeled chips, but I'll never oil any other way moving forward.

Oh, an occasional rolling edge touch up is simple. Take a rag with a light coating of Min Oil soaked in, then take a barrel of chips (straight from the rack) between your thumb and fingers, and then just rub the rag over the out edges as you rotate the barrel around between your fingers. Takes 3 seconds per barrel.

Let me know if you expand your offerings to include shuffling mint Paulsons so they they become slightly used (which is the way I like them best)

My process takes about a minute a chip but I also like to talk to them, boost their confidence, get to know the chips.

It's very important that each chip feels special and loved.

Yes, I will shuffle them lovingly, not rough. Just enough to round the sharp edges with a tiny bit of wear.

You should start a poker chip boarding/kennel service, with a livestream video cam so people who are away on vacation can check in on their chips playing with other chips, being shuffled and stacked and going to bed in their cases.

It appears you only have access to the mainstream media's sanitized version of this gif.

EDIT: Also, that staircase from my previous post seems to be filmed quite often.

Do you talk to your chips often? I bet they gossip incessantly. Do you know what that 100 chip did to the 1000 when it wasn't looking?

It made it change?

That's nearly 500 hours work for my chip hoard....would take over three months at 40 hours per week.

I think you need a process review by an efficiency expert.... or one of these:

Chaos rock uses one of those sponges with the middle cut out so it is shaped like a donut. Brilliant. I wish I had some new chips to oil so I can do the math on how much time I save wiping them down.
