Quoted from ForceFlow:Do Mirco's and Peter's playfields also exhibit these clear coat issues?
There are a bunch of pics of this forum where the clear has lifted the paint off the playfield on AFM

The only time I saw something like that on a few different playfields was when a guy that owns a restaurant had both Wizard and Silverball Mania repros all shrinky looking. They were stored out of the box laying longwise on edge in his office.
I was asking about humidity, sunlight, heat, and chemicals
He paused before saying "no" to chemicals.
Of course, no one is going to admit to having their house or restaurant sprayed for cockroaches.
After a little more prodding, he said he has the place sprayed monthly.
That's the only thing we could think of, nothing else seemed unusual.
After putting new clear on them, they are both smooth as glass and installed in his employee breakroom.
Quoted from kruzman:I still have a cpr cyclone and firepower where the inserts poped out thru the clear. If you reasearch it, I am sure there is something on it. You were giving refunds. No hammer and pipe was needed just time. when I mentioned it above I didnt mean actually sinking. I was just describing the effect in the 2 mins it took to write my post. I could either make my posts so dang long people wont make it thru the whole thing when it is about them, Or I can make sure every sentence cant be spun around. If you read the first post I wrote to the guy who asked the original question, I suggested waiting a while. if it looks good in a couple months, its all good. If anyone thinks I was trying to get work by crap talking cpr, they are wrong. CPR pays for my hooker addiction. I love cpr, although "we all love ron" I just dont like kevin or stu.
Now I feel embarrased to be a part of this. Fighting like this is just dirty.
Sheesh...lol
Quoted from Coyote:What's the *correct* (and proper?) way to store playfields? On their back, flat? On their sides? Hanging up vertically? (I don't mean for display, I'm meaning in case some curing needs to occur..)
I don't know how Kevin does it, but I screw rails to the BACK of the playfields and then stand them up totally vertical.
The rails keep them from bowing, and allow air to flow around them.
I know another restorer who stands them up on their sides with the rails on the back. That seems fine too.

Quoted from PNorth:Hey vid, I don't have any spare rails from other pins... any suggestions on what I can use to keep the playfield from bowing as it cures?
Thanks for any advice!
Take some good quality plywood scrap (like 3/4" Baltic Birch), rip some 1.5" wide lengths.
If you know anyone who claims to be a "woodworker", they will have a ton of thin scrap saved for moments like these.
