Greetings all. New member who's been stalking the forum for a while. I'm not nearly as serious as many of you are, but I bought my first set of clay chips from ASM a few moons back (Roman 312s) and recently did a DSQ add-on to fix my denominations a bit. Not sure how active I'll be here though will continue to seek any 312 blanks that may be about. Mainly, I joined today so I could inform the forum that DSQ are shipping now (which I'll post on the 'what's shipping' thread). Thanks in advance for putting up with me!

Welcome ! DSQ is running already ? Good news !

Right? I had seen 'August' in some other postings so was pleasantly surprised to see the box sitting on the counter when I got home from work yesterday. I had to join the forum just to share the good news!

Hello and welcome!
It‘s always nice when new chips arrive.
They may be dusty/chalky.
Oiling brings the color up!

Thanks! I never oiled my original ASMs and just let usage clean them up, but I'm definitely exploring it. I found the Chip Maintenance forum but the main thread looks to be china clays. I'll keep looking but if you know the 'right' method on them, I'd welcome a lead / link on it it...

First time oiling chips feels a bid weird, but it worth it!
There are many advice here ‚oiling chips right‘ etc…
I take a rack, soak a micro fleece towel with mineral oil and rub the rolling edge of the chips.
Then spread them out 1-2days to absorb the oil.

If you oil them more regular, just wipe on and off a bit of oil.
