    Quoted from KornFreak28:That is the thing. I have no idea how long its been like that since I just bought the machine. Should I try the hair dryer first and then remove if the hair dryer doesn't work? If I cut it, will that prevent further lifting?
    To cut it, do I cut right on top of the PF? Or do I lift and cut?
    What about using a thin strip of mylar and sticking one side of the mylar to the edge of the bubble and stick the other end on the wood down in the hole? Sort of like an "anchor" to hold it and prevent it from getting worse? I know it sounds weird but just an idea
    Thanks!

    Try the hair dryer first.
    Then cut it, it should prevent further lifting since you are cutting away the lifted part.
    I would cut away the lifted part instead of cutting down on the playfield , that way you don't chance scoring the playfield by cutting right on top of it.

    Don't do the "anchor thing"

    Is this a small mylar or a big playfield covering area?

    I would consider removing completely. Freeze spray, goo gone, flour, naphtha, or whatever the current popular way to remove is.
    Then you can wax and redo the mylar or not.
    Seems to be the swap kickout area, maybe remove the existing mylar and use a cliffy or a small spot of mylar where the ball lands coming out of the kick out
