In the US, we call it mineral oil or baby oil. I believe it goes by a different name in Europe. Either way it's some sort of neutral, unscented oil typically used as a laxative. @Coyote knows what it's called in the EU.

Mineral.
Had my Royals now for quite awhile. Just added two racks that came this morning to stretch my original cash set. Relabeling right now.
They don’t smell (really never did) and are one of my crews favorite sets.
I’ll lightly edge oil later a barrel at a time.
It's called parafin oil in Europe, and it's a laxative.
If, on our side of the pond, you go to a Pharmacist and ask for a huge bottle, the poor man or woman will be astonished at how you may have survived without shitting for years.
These look amazing
To me the Tina’s feel lighter and clink more. I’m told they are more like traditional chips. I’ve have some Paulson and cpc samples in the mail. Right now my front runner is the Royal. I also have some pharaohs coming to compare them to the Paulson and the majestics. Followed the samples samples samples advice and I’m glad I did. Gonna use the Royals for a T25 set. Not sure on the cash set yet. Most of the sets I want, the fantasy sets, cost more than my first car. And that’s with inflation.
I really like the Royals chips. Bright colors. Very stackable.
The Royals are the best of the China clays, in my opinion. I had a set of Majestic, but, quickly got rid of them. The smell was pretty bad, and, they were slippery, to me. The Royals are neither of these. They are a bit more slippery than Paulsons, CPC, etc, but, there is a card room I play at regularly that uses them, and, I love them.
Did you buy them with their original denomination stickers originally on and change them?
I have a friend visiting vegas soon and trying to see if he can bring back some samples soon to the UK but struggling a little with communication with apache. Does anyone know if they have a store front where you can go in and buy barrels on the spot or are online only?

Bought and relabeled. Never smelled at any point. Labels come off easy. Depending on what you're playing with now, you could just buy them sight unseen and be quite happy. Not aware of any brick and mortar but their customer service is decent. Shipping rates at the high end.
i'm sure there's a sub for relabelling but may i ask what tool you use to get it off? considered buying sight unseen - as you say, shipping rates make it prohibitive, particularly to UK
I love the blue 25k chips, they remind me of the old series on high stakes poker cash games. wanted to get myself a few and incorporate them into my set, even if they are different size/make
How many chips are shown here?
26 layers of orange alone, at 7 chips per layer, across 6 colours although orange and pink look less than others... i'm going to guesstimate 1000 maybe just over
I think 1800 - 400 green, red and blue, 300 yellow, 200 orange, 100 pink

The labels on the Royals pop right off. Get under the edge, workout a little making sure to watch your pressure to the center of the recess so the chip doesn’t crack, and it pops right off. Very little residue. Not enough for me not to just label over it.i'm sure there's a sub for relabelling but may i ask what tool you use to get it off? considered buying sight unseen - as you say, shipping rates make it prohibitive, particularly to UK

Throw them in your shopping cart on Apache. They’ll calculate the shipping. If you can buy them secondary you might save a little on shipping.
I highly recommend Royals and while I’ve yet to pick up any Majestics (the 39mm sister chip) I intend to because I have a sample of them and they too are solid.
