[Wanted] Hot Stamping info/howto? (4 Viewers)

[demonnic]

I promise I did do a search and looked through 10 pages of results but could not find a thread with general advice on hot stamping chips. I'm a make it yourself sort for a lot of things, and between an upcoming CPC set I want to put hot stamps on and a limit set I'd also like to hot stamp, I'm considering if I want to get a machine and do them myself or not.

Does anyone have a link or resource handy for what specs I should be looking for in a machine suitable for poker chips and/or tips and tricks on being successful at it? Have started doing a bit of general research but some focused information would be greatly appreciated.

There isn't much. Past the few who have done it or do it.

At least it doesn't turn out I just can't use the search feature for crap. I'll probably have someone else do the cpc tourney set because I'd be more sad about messing those up as a newbie stamper. But I'm not sure anyone else would wanna take on overstamping the diecar limit set and even if they did I'm not sure if I can justify paying for the 2000 stamps on a set which isn't likely to see much use.

But I wants it, my precious.

I sourced the chips for , commissioned a design for and paid for a rack of chips that were hotstamped by @Josh Kifer I'm pretty sure only a few people has seen. Most cause I haven't shown the off yet

Best to PM Josh or @ekricket and pick their brains. It seems like it's an art rather than an exact science. Believe @AK Chip has not so distant experience with it too.

Yeah, if it comes down to it I'll likely find a way, but doing the work itself gives me an additional layer of satisfaction and enjoyment in the end product too.

I was trying to avoid directly messaging and asking people who make a living or side hustle doing the work because I always feel a little tacky contacting someone and being like "tell me your secrets so I can not be your customer."

@Josh Kifer or @ekricket are the two best guys for that.

We have a larger machine here at work which could work, but not too sure since you would need extras for testing and more!

Yeah, have a half barrel extra of the orange but no extra of the black and was expecting I would probably wind up a few chips short in a rack or two especially doing it myself. Have some other similar chips I was going to practice on to git gud first as well.

I did look at Spinettis and fired a DM @Spinettis Gaming to ask if overstamping the diecars might be possible there but didn't hear back so I assumed "no" and moved on.

Ah I didn't see that and my colleague hasn't been good at letting me know when you guys send PMs so I apologize about that.

I'll shoot you a PM
