For DND players, a set of exquisite and durable bullet dice is not only a tool for combat, but also an indispensable source of immersive experience during the campaign. Especially like this revolver-style metal bullet dice, it is not only cool in shape, but also has collection value. If you want to maintain their luster and functional status for a long time, reasonable maintenance and storage are essential.
This guide will focus on the cleaning, scratch resistance, repair and moisture-proof treatment of metal and resin bullet dice to help you effectively extend the service life of the dice.
Comparison of cleaning methods for metal bullet dice: ultrasonic vs alcohol wiping
Due to the material, metal bullet dice are often made of zinc alloy or brass. After long-term use, they are prone to dust accumulation or fingerprint oil stains.
Method 1: Ultrasonic cleaning
Advantages: Deep cleaning of fine seams, suitable for styles with complex relief or engraved patterns, such as the metal bullet dice series.
Disadvantages: The frequency of use should not be too high, otherwise it may cause surface oxidation.
Method 2: Alcohol wiping
Advantages: Simple and convenient, easy to do, suitable for daily quick degreasing.
Disadvantages: Pay attention to the concentration used to avoid high concentration corrosion of the plating.
Recommendation: Use 75% alcohol and soft cloth to wipe it at ordinary times, and deep ultrasonic cleaning can be performed once a quarter.
Anti-scratch storage strategy: leather dice bag vs magnetic storage box
Although metal bullet dice are highly impact-resistant, the surface coating or engraved patterns are easily scratched. The following two storage methods have their own advantages and disadvantages:
Leather dice bag
Advantages: Lightweight and soft, does not take up space, suitable for carrying outside.
Disadvantages: Not pressure-resistant, easy to squeeze the dice to deform or scratch.
Magnetic box
Advantages: Fixed structure to prevent dice from colliding with each other, very suitable for high-end models such as bullet-shaped metal DND dice sets.
Disadvantages: Slightly large in size, slightly bulky when going out.
Recommendation: Use a magnetic box for storage at home, and use a padded leather bag for carrying when going out.
Repair plan for resin bullet dice: Epoxy resin easily fills the gap
Although we strongly recommend the durability and texture of metal models, some players also like lightweight resin bullet dice. If it is accidentally broken, it can still be repaired with epoxy resin.
Steps are as follows:
- Remove the fragments and keep dry;
- Use a small amount of epoxy resin mixture to fill the gap;
- After curing, polish and repaint.
Although it is difficult to fully restore the appearance after repair, it is enough to extend the life value for ordinary entertainment use. If you want to avoid this risk, it is recommended to directly purchase a sturdy and durable metal bullet dice set to greatly reduce the breakage rate.
Anti-rust countermeasures for metal dice in high humidity environments
Although metal dice are not easy to rust, there is still a risk of oxidation when placed in a high humidity environment for a long time, especially for players in coastal cities.
Anti-rust tips:
- Put a desiccant bag in the dice box;
- Gently wipe the surface of the dice with anti-rust oil regularly (it is recommended to use watch lubricant products);
- Keep ventilation during storage and avoid sealing humid spaces.
If you have a product with rich engraving details such as this revolver dice set, be sure to avoid moisture accumulation and pattern corrosion.
Conclusion: Good dice also deserve to be "cared for"
A set of high-quality bullet dice is not only a tool, but also a companion who accompanies you in countless battles. Through proper cleaning, protection and storage, you can not only keep it in the best hand feel, but also continue to enjoy the immersion and ritual it brings in every future game.
