Speaking of fabric, has anyone found success in removing felt that has been glued to a casino chip? I have some prop chips that were mounted and framed before someone cut them away from the mounting.
I thought I'd use Goo Gone to melt the felt off but no success there . . .
Frankly never had much luck with Goo Gone for anything.
Try dousing with Paint Thinner/Mineral Spirits (NOT Lacquer Thinner or Pain Remover) and let sit for a bit. Should come right off though will depend on the adhesive used. Some folks can't stand the smell so you may want to work outside (don't bother with the Odorless formula; it's useless).
If that doesn't work I have an alternative which absolutely will but if there's anything printed on the surface of the chip, will almost certainly remove that, too.
I generally don't use alcohol (unlike some members here ... hehe) to remove solvents; only to prep a surface and then only if I'm certain of the potential chemical interaction. For example, alcohol will literally destroy acrylic [PlexiGlass/Perspex] in seconds.
I agree with you PMJB, isopropyl alcohol mayn't be good on all surfaces, but it would dissolve a compact adhesive. I guess it would be down to what the chip is made of ?
I just finished desmond's biography and, as I was sticking my nose on the book cover to see some details of the props (was I the only one to do that ? ), I think that we can see the holes of the joystick switch and cable not filed up.
It was a great prop to begin: a bit of sanding, 6 holes and a bit of paint! You don't need much experience nor tooling to produce this prop. It was very rewarding! :007)

Impressive scratch-built golden gun, in metal no less!

Do you have some more pictures? Even if we are not RPF I always find interesting to see some ongoing pics!
I am sure that the golden paint doesn't give justice to the work done. Maybe some gold leafing?
Cool job! {[]
Thanks !
No unfortunately for this one I can’t take the elements apart...
Sorry no on going pics. And yes Golden paint is not the better option for it, but gold leafing would be good

It'll be difficult to plate aluminium. You might be better off anodising it, but to be honest the best option would be to leave it as is.
