OP

Quoted from billsacto:

Guys,
Fantastic input!
The ground breaking observation I have at this point is that many of you have different approaches, that vary significantly.
However, I don't remember being provided any specific guidance (directions) from Jeff at Classic Arcades. I certainly would not have used Triple Thick if Jeff had directed me to use Automotive Clear Coat! I also would have remembered directions to clear over the top of the play field. Also no mention of waiting X hours or days after install before reassembly. I would have remember clear directions like that,
Don't get me wrong guys, I'm definitely NOT criticizing any of you, or saying your processes are not a good path to success. I'm pointing out that the supplier should provide clear directions with appropriate steps in order to get a successful outcome. How is anyone supposed to guess at the correct installation method? Is it it proprietary? Need to know? I don't believe I got clear directions with the types of steps we are discussing here from Classic Arcades. But frankly, I'm not 100% sure if he even provided any directions? I have an email into Jeff asking for directions for installation of his overlay. If any of you have those, please paste them in here for our discussion. Those would be key in our discussion as well. But it appears to me that if the steps outlined by many of you here are required, then Jeff has NOT provided sufficient input, i.e. directions to install his overlay.
So again, that's kind of the goal of this discussion: To build "Best Know Methods" for installing a Pinball Overlay.
