Round 2! About to make these Arc Yellows POP.
Is it common for you to put your foodstuffs and your detergents in such close proximity?
None of that is mine so no clue Haha. This is the part of the basement I dont use, man caves on the other side. But now that you mention it, my dinner last night definitely had a hint of TideIs it common for you to put your foodstuffs and your detergents in such close proximity?
Yeah, I think my zip ties were too loose and too wide. I think I'm going to redo them so that they are smaller (only span two openings instead of three) so that a chip cannot fit in the loop. Then I will stagger the zip ties, alternating high and low, if that makes sense.I went right to the salad spinner and noticed chips getting stuck in the zip ties. So maybe ours were a little too loose? It's interesting that the spinner without agitation was enough for you. I actually tried it without the zip ties at first and noticed they were sticking together. At least with the zip ties, they would usually fall at the top and PLOP SPLASH ... but it got 'em moving in there.
Generally it can be quite important, because it depends on the water quality where you live.
Our water quality is primo-excellent, so I use water straight from the tap and boiled.
Some people have poor quality water due to either poor source or poor quality pipes, and so should use distilled water.
I just use water from the tap and don't boil it or anything. I have always had great results. Of course people living somewhere else with different water supply YMMV.
I once cleaned about 800 hybrids using tap water & TSP with very dismal results -- and using long soak/run times (up to 3+ minutes), too. Hardly any difference in the chips whatsoever.
All other near-identical cleaning attempts on a variety of types of filthy chips has produced oustanding results with very short soak/run times (typically 30 seconds) -- with the *only* difference being that distilled water was used each time. It's been enough to totally convince me.
One way to find out@Gear that's quite an interesting idea; that the aeration is that problem. Shouldn't that mean that any bottled water, even reverse osmosis, would yield superior results to tap water?

@Moxie Mike you compression oiling? Awesome parent hack, BTW. I promised my girls ox tail for helping me dry them all
To oil I work it in with a paper towel, then wipe the excess (mostly from the inlay) 24 hours later. Not sure if that meets the exact definition of the 'compression method' but they always turn out good.
Seller was quick. I paid a little more than it's going for now, but that's ok. They have a couple of different warehouses, so hopefully you'll have it by the end of this week.Excellent, thank you! Nice price as well. eBay says its in NJ, so hopefully this one arrives.
How safe are ultrasonic cleaners on Paulson hot stamp chips?
I scored a set of the LL tournament chips and am now considering in what conditions I want to felt them.
If cleaning is no issue for the hotstamp then I will get them in regular rotation (4 times or so a year).
Thanks
