Thanks all for the feedback on Mad Amusements, I did read a bad story on another forum, hence why I asked.
Do all the Plastics get made from the same place ? Or are there some better than others ?

I think we spoke at some stage yesterday ?

This is what we were discussing - http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=10552.0

It is difficult to arrest planking as the planking is within the wood, not the artwork. The artwork will follow the planking. I think the stealth may "hide" the planking somewhat, and it is cheaper than a full playfield clearcoat.

Also, avoid MAD Amusements.
Hi Nino, yes that was me  <..>
Ive had a bit of a read up on the protectors and I think thats the way ill go ATM.
Im wondering how the protector will sit over the planking though ? as the planking isn't exactly flat.
When running a finger over it, you can feel all the lines  !@#
Has anyone else had defect on the playfield and put a protector over it ?


I unscrewed the ramp today and took it to a welding place, really hoping they do a good job.
They said to come back in a week or so fingers crossed.
Im now going to start stripping the rest of the playfield and see what other defect I have  @.@

I bought some of the Mill Wax stuff, has anyone used it ?
Should I clean it with anything else before the Mill Wax ?
