Thanks for the ideas guys - i've got a list that is building and i'll have to start sorting out what i feel i can do to a proffesional finish, and what i'll leave alone.

EM era playfields is an area i definetely want to explore, and i understand that a nice, thick, glassy 2pac clear is not going to give the result most customers will be after. I might pick your brain more on that one at a later date Nino , if you dont mind 

Marty, I'm adding your site to my links - i just had to neaten the section up a bit. Should be up there very soon.

Keep the ideas coming guys - its great food for thought
