So I've got a really beautiful BOP I'm restoring. The greys looks incredibly uniform between the mylar'ed and non-mylar'ed areas, there's no insert lift, and it's cleaning up really nice! As with all BOPs, there are a few areas where the mylar has started to lift over an insert. Compared to most, it's very minor.

All that being said, I'm wondering if I should remove the mylar or not. I've removed mylar before so this wouldn't be my 1st rodeo, but I've heard stories of mylar removal not going well with BOP. I don't really want opinions from those who haven't restored this game, but for those who have...thoughts?

I used the heat method on two BoP's. Went very well. Just some minor keyline black loss that was easily touched up. Well worth it for me.
