Did you have to clean the $5s?

Pumped as I went with the same colour combo. Look beautiful.

Yea i had to clean the $5’s but they weren’t that bad when i got em

 

[WhiteMamba1646]

So glad I went with secondary 1’s

How does the 5’s stack up on height are they pretty even

They stack up relatively close, not a big enough gap to notice

Same. From another photo I’ve seen but can’t put my finger on they look practically even.

Just a bummer I went with sec 5’s….
I misread about the condition of the primary’s
O well, live and learn

Chips just arrived! Maybe I should have went with secondary $1s. Well I have some primary $1s if anyone wants to trade for secondary $1s.

Some need a little bit of cleaning. Microfiber cloth and mild soap right?

Ultrasonic

Microfiber cloth is for oiling. I would recommend a magic eraser with soap and warm (not hot) water for cleaning, let dry for 24-48 hours, and then a light oiling, if necessary.

Ultrasonic

I don't have of one. Doesn't that strip the color/oil?

Let’s see them all! I imagine the 1s will look great after a little cleanup.

Not if you do it correctly

ultrasonic for the win, with 2 Tbs of TSP at 43 degrees for roughly 30-45 seconds each batch you will be good to go. maybe a minute to minute and a half for the $25 primaries lol.

You have any experience with Simple Green vs. TSP? Same amount (2 TSP)?

I presoak in simple green and use TSP in the ultrasonic.

1ks are ugly af. Pm incoming.

But in all seriousness your set is fire. Those sec 1s look great with 5s!

I ask as we don’t have TSP/TSP substitute here in Europe, but Simple Green is readily available.

 

[WhiteMamba1646]

ive never used Simple Green but ive heard that works just as well too.

Sooo harvesting is frowned upon, right?

Probably make a mint harvesting all those bears!

I tried simple green in the ultrasonic and was disappointed with the results. Maybe my ratios were off, but I'm a fan of TSP.

I think the presoak is the key part as it minimizes the time needed in the TSP solution.

Thanks. How long do you pre-soak for?

 

[CraigT78]

2-3 minutes probably. My process was 60 chips in the presoak bucket while I cleaned 60 in the ultrasonic, moved to the rinse and then on to the table for the dry.

My gosh, those $1's & $5's are really nice even for RHC's. The $5's should absolutely pop with a little edge oiling.

 

[justincarothers]

Nice!

Why both versions of $1 & $5?

 

[justincarothers]

Why both versions of $1 & $5?

Primary and secondary set….

Really wasn’t sure which I wanted more so got them both. These are some killer chips. Both sets
