Quick answer
Clean your Avalore Plated Bloody Starrazor dice with a soft cloth and mild soap, avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive surfaces, and store them in a padded case to protect the plated finish and black ink.
Why these dice need special care
The Avalore Plated Bloody Starrazor dice have a silver plated finish with a unique blood-splattered look. The black ink provides contrast but can wear off if rubbed against rough surfaces. The metal itself is light, but the plating can scratch or chip if dropped on hard floors or stored loose with other dice.
Unlike solid metal dice, plated dice have a thin layer of silver over a base metal. This means the finish is more delicate. With proper care, they will last through many campaigns without losing their shine.
Step-by-step care routine
- Clean after each session: Wipe the dice with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove oils and dust. If needed, dampen the cloth with a drop of mild dish soap and water, then dry immediately. Do not soak the dice or use alcohol, acetone, or abrasive cleaners.
- Avoid rolling on hard surfaces: Use a dice tray or a soft mat to roll the Bloody Starrazor dice. Hard surfaces like stone or metal can scratch the plated finish or dent the edges. Even a short drop onto tile can chip the plating.
- Store separately in a padded container: Keep the dice in a soft pouch or a compartmented dice box. Do not let them rattle against other metal dice, as the contact can wear the black ink and scratch the finish. A cloth bag or foam-lined case is ideal.
- Handle with clean, dry hands: Oils from your skin can dull the plating over time. Wash and dry your hands before handling the dice, especially if you have lotion, food residue, or sweat on your fingers. Avoid eating while rolling to keep the dice clean.
- Inspect regularly for wear: Check the edges and the ink-filled numbers after every few sessions. If you see the black ink fading, you can touch it up with a fine-tip permanent marker, but test on an inconspicuous spot first. Catching wear early lets you fix it before it becomes noticeable.
