To Oil or not to Oil ? I am torn (1 Viewer)

Funny how the ultrasonic knows to wash the brown clay off of the white clay, but it doesn't wash the brown clay off of the brown clay.

I vote to oil them.
I just had to make this decision for the Tiger Palace chip set I bought.
I bit the bullet and oiled with a microfiber towel and I am very happy with the results. I let them air dry for 4 days. There is still a little residual oil on the labels, but not much and none on the clay.

The oiled ones obviously look a bit better, but in my experience, even a very light oiling makes it difficult to shuffle the chips. Others may have different experiences, but for me I avoid oil if possible

Do you let them dry in the racks? Or do you spread them out in a towel?
I have done it both ways. When doing a thin oiling of the edges, I tend to go to the racks. If I am oiling more of the chip, I lay them out.

Did you oil the face of the chip, or just the outer edges? Anyone else have a similar experience? Shuffling is life
Newer Paulson chip inlays are not like the old ones. Don't stress. I would use 1 drop per chip (spread around) & then let sit for 24 hours. When you come back you'll find 99% has been absorbed & cleaning off the last <1% with a micro fiber cloth is painless.
I’d suggest that’s still too much oil; they should look darker, but not glossy or wet.
Here’s a recap of a post I made a while back:
This is how much I used per CPC barrel and it worked well. Just a quick tip of the bottle onto the microfiber rag. If I got too much on my rag, I’d angle it so I only used half the oil on one barrel and used the other half on a second.
Just enough to get the edges. I quickly wiped the face to remove any excess that may have made it onto the face of the chip from gaps along the edges.
Before and after on DG Peacock. Probably a touch more oil on that left barrel than desired (shown by the faint shine line in the middle of the barrel).
