the mylar bubbles dont affect game play, and i dont think im too keen on removing it all i think it would be one big pain in the arse, i do however have a playfeild drawing, so if anything ever happens to it i should be ok. i was just interested to see what others though may be a good way of fixing these little annoynaces, i think im leaning towards pricking it and releacing all the air in it and hoping it sticks down again. If it doesnt stick down as per factory it wont increase the wear in that area will it?
