Quoted from mmr61184:Vid1900, you mention earlier in this thread about drilling clear on a new playfield do you have any tips or tutorials for drilling out the holes and prepping a clear coated play field to repopulate it again.
Quoted from vid1900:Take a BRAND NEW Brad Point drill bit and (by hand) cut out the surrounding clear.
You don't want any of the screw's threads touching and thus lifting the clear from the surface.
There is a section somewhere in the Playfield Restoration thread, but I could not find it on my phone.
This is the first of five "key posts" on the topic from that thread: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/vids-guide-to-ultimate-playfield-restoration/page/45#post-2611546
Quoted from LynnInDenver:Spray on wax coatings can contain silicon
Silicon is a solid, most commonly found as a component of sand and unlikely to be found in spray form.
You're thinking of siliconEs, "also called polysiloxane, any of a diverse class of fluids, resins, or elastomers based on polymerized siloxanes, substances whose molecules consist of chains made of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms.

The MSDS for Mist-N-Shine is the most useless one I've ever seen: http://www.lyonsperformance.com/manuals/MSDS%20Mist-N-Shine.pdf
The product info says it contains no wax: https://wizardsproducts.com/mist-n-shine-22-oz "Contains no wax or petroleum solvents."

Quoted from bigchief99:Hey, what ever happen to the original poster of this forum? Vzid1900. Has not been on in a while.
vid1900 no longer posts here for reasons unknown to most of us. His guides are invaluable. The technical area of Pinside owes a great deal to Vid. I wish him well no matter what he is up to these days.
Quoted from TXFireBall:it keeps registering 1000pts being scored spastically.
Check the rollover switches in the lanes on the right. They can score 1000.
If you find one that might be the problem you can put a piece of paper between the contacts to prevent it from registering.
Quoted from Bamaro:100% carnauba is very hard and could never be applied to a pinball machine.
