Hey all. My name is Ryan and I've been following this forum for quite some time. Used it to order my first set of CC's. Figured it was time to move on from the classic dice chips. Went with 1000 milano's. Finally received word my $.50 and $.25 are finally coming in. Can't wait to have a full set. Pics to follow.

Where do you order your Milanos from?

 

[mummel]

I cant believe it. Brybelly has multiple chips in stock now, for the first time in months. I've been painstakingly waiting for this moment for so long. I just popped my cherry TY to everyone that helped me get here. BRING ON THE MILANOS!

PS. I think I need Paulsons.

I ordered them from claysmithgaming. A friend of mine referred me over that way.

Just a quick update with photos of the unfinished set. I'm not sure if I love the chips or the case I bought more... So far, everyone at the home game seems impressed.

Although I've just joined and I can tell this is going to become an addiction. I'm calling it now, I will end up buying a set of Paulson's shorty.

Also like the idea of switching the $.25 Milano to the light blue chip. May have to make that move sooner than later.

Fantastic. They look super slick. I opted for trays because they are cheaper but wow does that cage look good. Nicely done. Did you oil them yet?

Not yet. I was just going to ask if anyone had any tips on what oil to use for these? I know a little goes a long way with that stuff.

I got some equate USP oil from Target. $2 or something.

Just a couple drops right?

 

[mummel]

Never done it before so Im learning too. Most people say very little.

Welcome to PCF !

YES, just a couple of drops. A little goes a LONG way.
I would oil about 10 to 20 at a time and lay them out on a towel, then do another 10 or 20 and flip the first set over and so on.....

 

[mummel]

I was thinking about using a rag, turning the bottle upside down onto the rag for a couple of seconds, then letting the oil mix into the rag, then using that to oil the chips. Would this be too much? When you say drops, you mean a couple of drops onto the rag?

Also, if you're hardly using any oil, wouldnt a wet wipe accomplish the same thing?

Nope. Wet wipes use alcohol based cleaners which evaporate.

Baby wipes?

 

[jja412]

No wipes.

Just use the oil that you've already purchased. Grab a barrel of chips at a a time, put a couple drops MAX on your other hand, and rub the stack like you know how.
