Hopefully my step by step tutorial on Compression Oiling will help others who keep having trouble with their oiling, and it seeming like a waste of time. A mix of common methods with a touch of my own strategical experimentation and creativity. Well, after much testing using just basic Milano China Clays (which aren't supposed to take oil as well as CPC or Paulsons), I believe I have discovered the best way to oil those chips and keep them that way afterward.

A number of factors playing-oil type, drying method, application method, etc. Well, with a number of mixed results, I discovered that most methods left the chips looking great-at first-then left them lacking thereafter (usually within 1-5 days). Using a combination of advices from numerous poker minds, I set myself up to test oiling of chips in a variety of ways-from wipe n dry, to dip n drip and oil and water dont mix except with chip tricks.

I won't profess to know everything about anything or anything about everything but what I do know is I often research and test subject matter to the fullest extent possible to find the best results.
