Murder, (S)he Wrote: The Unofficial Murder Pr0n Thread (5 Viewers)

Dirty work, but someone's gotta do it...

About half way through this job but am starting to rethink my choice for the $20 (the RPC 5000), now that it is "murder time". No going back once they go under the knife! There are also peach solids which will be used for nickels (however they are visiting @Josh Kifer for a make over) at the moment.

That looks like a paper inlay to me. We're you able to get all of the paper off?
It is paper, yes. I haven't gotten the rest of it off yet. I can see the base color through the paper so it's going to take some work.
 
Are the tigers easy? I feel like they would be fresh off the press.
I did a few just for fun....lol.
No, not really just for fun.

As far as the easy question goes: I would say that on the spectrum of Easiest to most difficult these are much closer to the easy end of the spectrum. Every chip seems to react differently to different solvents and lots of guys screw up chips by gouging into the chip so go slow when you first start and always start with isopropyl alcohol as it is one solvent that almost never reacts with the chips and melts them. You can always try other solvents and as you get more experienced you might find certain solvents work much better than isopropyl alcohol, but some are much worse too.

I think you may be the first (or at least the first to post)
He may be the first, but certainly won't be the last. Here are a few quick pics of a few that I just did:

Agreed, I'll never use anything but isopropal anymore after having a couple ring stains using NPR. Damp cloth treatment aftet isopropal and I've never had a problem.
 
sorry, I meant I wouldn't oil before putting labels on, you want a good contact between the chip and the label and oil might mess with the contact
If you allow the time to dry properly it shouldn't matter.

Thanks for your advice. I had also done so previously with the Bourbon Street relabel set: clean > oil > let dry 4-5 days > labels.
