I lifted a bit of paint in a few areas, some of it I hope will be easy to touch up, but in any case I reckon the mylar had to come up in these areas.
Around the area of the right kicker it stopped coming up easily, if you turn the heat up it seems to thin the mylar out and it reached a point where it was just not lifting. I reckon it has just adhered too well to the play field, so I tried to use some desolve it to get under the mylar in this area, but this seemed to be softening the paint and was having no effect on the mylar so I decided that rather than press on and damage more paint I would trim the mylar right next to the play field. This is nerve racking but fairly easy with a new razor blade.
Initially I had hoped that I would get all the mylar off then only wax the playfield. I think now that as I'll have to touch up and as there is still some mylar in place that I might have to apply more mylar.
What do those with experience in these matters think?
Best to apply mylar?
Best to apply it in a large piece or best to apply smaller patches over touch ups?
Any thought or comments appreciated.
