You needn't worry. The second is ...
Yes, considerably.

That looks like a paper inlay to me. We're you able to get all of the paper off?Wouldn't generally do this, but I was sold this chip with the reverse inlay missing already (that I didn't know about...) so why not finish the job and have myself a blank blue TRK

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.That looks like a paper inlay to me. We're you able to get all of the paper off?
I'm sorry.Haha...
Paper inlays are a bitch. Lots of scraping. Eventually they can be made to look really nice though. I have now done a few thousand paper inlays.
If I never saw another paper inlay that would be just fine with me
Lol.... yours aren't any worse than any other paper inlay chip. They all suckI'm sorry.
But I did my part and I feel bad enough.Lol.... yours aren't any worse than any other paper inlay chip. They all suck

Some will need the liquor treatment

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:I think you may be the first (or at least the first to post)
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.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'm no expert, but I wouldn't oil before putting new labels on.Adding a small starter Paris cash set to the collection. Chips need some cleaning and oiling before applying labels. Nothing very original but I like it a lot!

That exactly what I meant. Looks like I still have to improve my EnglishI'm no expert, but I would oil before putting new labels on.
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 contactThat exactly what I meant. Looks like I still have to improve my English
If you allow the time to dry properly it shouldn't matter.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
Thanks for your advice. I had also done so previously with the Bourbon Street relabel set: clean > oil > let dry 4-5 days > labels.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
I see no benefit to oiling the clay where the label will goIf you allow the time to dry properly it shouldn't matter.
ok, glad that workedThanks for your advice. I had also done so previously with the Bourbon Street relabel set: clean > oil > let dry 4-5 days > labels.
I suppose there's no any contraindication to putting oil on the labels? With time in particular?I see no benefit to oiling the clay where the label will go
