Chip Application Guide

BEFORE YOU BEGIN :

  • Ensuring your Chip sits flush in its slot is crucial. Some chips may have extra components or expoy on the back, making them stick up a bit on the center, but that's fine. Just remember, the left and right edges shouldn't stick out and transition smoothly onto the metal so it can properly slide into the POS Machine and not get snagged or caught on the machine.

  • Do not attempt to use Fast Drying / Instant Glue because it has the consistency of water and dries very fast. Once it dries, it will be impossible to remove it from the metal without causing damage. Our recommendation is only " E8000 " as it has the consistency of toothpaste and dries in 2-3 hours - additionally, it can easily be cleaned up and removed with Acetone when mistakes are made.

REMOVAL PROCESS :

  • Be very careful with this process as you risk scratching your new Metal Card permanently by removing the dummy chip with a Sharp Blade.
    - Apply a small amount of acetone directly on the chip and allow it to seep through the cracks and crevices.
    - Once the acetone touches the adhesive, it will immediately turn into Goo so be patient with the process.
    - Only use the Blade as an assist to lift the chip slightly and not as the main tool for removal. When the acetone touches more of the Adhesive, it will rapidly deactivate the adhesive and allow it to pop off freely and without resistance.
