Quoted from Waderade812:I will slowly put it together over the upcoming week. I have to clean the posts and plastics. Although the I could use some new plastics. I may just clean everything up and change the plastics later down the road. The budget is running thin for the time being.
I did add a little extra hardener on the final coat. The other play fields I have done seem to play slower. I use Nason 2K urethane clearcoat and it seems to grip the ball a bit. Makes for more spin and movement on drop and live catches. I am hoping the extra hardener tightens the surface a bit more. So its more like a 4.25-1 instead of 4-1 ratio.
I don’t think extra hardener , will result in harder final clear coat. The hardener is a catalyst , making the clear cure in a certain amount of time. In my opinion , The degree of hardness is the same regardless of amount of hardener used if enough time is given for the clear coat to cure completely, sometimes more than 3 months.
Quoted from Waderade812:That does make sense. The first playfield I cleared changed quite a bit from the time I sanded till today (almost a year). It has some imperfections that I can see on the correct angle. I know that it was level when it was reassembled. It does not affect play ability and no one else can really see what I'm talking about.
I know what you mean. This happens especially with thick clear coats , that take forever to cure.
