What’s the consensus on best way to remove factory dust on these? Warm water? Warm water with soap? Or mineral oil?
Thanks

Most of if not all of that comes off after about 3 times of use... In my experience

Water and a little agitation does fine. Oiling them does better for the color pop, but if you have a dark felt that you dont want coated in a fine layer of dust, churning them in a bucket is sufficient.

Mine are unlabeled, so I just dump them in the jacuzzi tub and fire up the jets like a super-size ultrasonic.

I just took a wet towel and wiped them down individually with some pressure. Labor of love!

Then relabeled. Then oiled. Still not complete hhahaha

 

[Doumsey]

Then relabeled. Then oiled.

You relabeled them before oiling ? Would that be the recommended way to do it ?
I actually dont know but I always figured that I should do the cleaning/oiling before putting label (as some sort of final touch).

The concern is that the oil may cause the label to not stick as well to the chip. I'm not sure this is a valid concern, as most labels are quite sticky, and the amount of oil used on a chip is miniscule.

However, just to be safe I always label first, oil last.

Every HowTo I've come across agrees here. Label before oiling. A good quality vinyl label should not absorb the oil.

Just got my first barrel of cleaned, relabeled, oiled and wiped down complete.

These chips are #%*€’ing beautiful!!!!!

Now that many of you have had a chance to see your chips in action for a while, are there any color combinations that really work well side-by-side? For example, I really like the white and dark blue chips together in the pics I've seen. Are there any that don't work well at all, such as the dirty stack potential of dark blue and pink?

I'm close to pulling the trigger on buying a set of Royals, and I just want to get some final thoughts.

My top lineup choices at the moment are:







The black chip would serve as a bounty. I prefer the pink chip over the light blue for the high denom chip, but they are out of stock, so...

I have not come across any real show stoppers with regards to dirty stacks. I say, design whatever you like. The chips are great overall. If you like the blue instead of black as the T100, it'll look fine. Then you can go with prelabeled for the rest of them. I'm not wild about the black bounty. Think the red would be way better. But like I said, go with whatever you like best.

I think the blue chip is just too stinking pretty to be at the end of the chip progression. I knew I liked it when I saw the pictures, but once I got my sample set and oiled them up, it was never a question.

I have considered the red chip as my bounty. It's still under consideration.

I went with 25c blues, $1 whites and $5 reds. SEXY AF!!!

I will do a custom cash set very soon also and I was wondering about how to do my lineup as well.
I was considering the sexy blue for my $1 chip and did not know what to do for the 5c (if any, not sure) and 25c.
But using the blue for my 25c is actually maybe a solution, considering its my favorite design and 25c will basically be my workhorse chip (playing .5/.10 or .25/.25)..... And in the meantime I feel its almost too sexy of a design/edgespot to use on a frac I dont know.. Dilemma

Would you have some pics of stacks of your lineup ??

I also went with 5c yellows and $25 greens, which doubles perfectly as a tourney set. Is pure porn.

I recall some of the stacks didn’t work too well together. Blue and pink were dirty no?

Yes, I think those were the worst by far (pink in a blue stack). A yellow was a bit dirty in a green stack, as well.

 

[BearMetal]

We've been playing with the pinks and dark blue and haven't had any issues.

 

[Dodger]

The green, dark blue, and red go very well together. I have them as my .25c, $1, and $5, respectively.

Here’s my full lineup: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/the-official-royals-pron-thread.45292/page-11#post-885363

I use the red chip as a bounty. Works out well.

Yeah I saw it in your dedicated thread, loved it and it pretty much inspired my will to do a custom set based on Apache Royals chips!!

Only thing is that you dont use the white flag one, which I want to include in some capacity... And the green I plan on doing a separate tourney set with base T25 and this one as a starting chip... But well i could go with green 25c in one set and green T25 in the other actually, nothing stops me !

I would be very interested to see pics of your lineup as well @mummel , using the yellow as a nickel could be fun!

 

[BearMetal]

The red's being a bounty means everyone only gets one. How am I supposed to shuffle those delicious red mounds if I have only one??? Yes yes, I could knock people out, but then I'd be thumbing them with nobody else at left at the table...

The reds are really sexy. Probably my favorite. So hard to pick. Blue is amazing too. Decisions.

 

[mummel]

Can someone remind me again what casino chip the $5 red is based off of? Thanks.

 

[Chris Manzoni]

I believe it's the Aria 25K cranberry.

 

[Doumsey]

Sweet lord

I thought it was based off the ES $5. That may have come off the Aria Cranberry though.

 

[mummel]

Nice thanks.

 

[mummel]

Yeah Aria $25k.

 

[SeanGecko]

They are sooo god that the guys at my game wanted to use them for $5 so I am getting some labels made. Also working on a plan to use the YELLOW as a $5. Pictures up coming in the next few months.
