Quoted from provato:

So what? I am a customer and had nothing to do with this incident and they still sold me an excellent playfield and I know that They have some playfields not shown in their webpage.
I will think twice before helping anyone in here again... everyone is a critic nowadays

Disable the voting and you won't even think about it again.

Quoted from paul_8788:

Thickness (height of the layer) does not equate to hardness (ability to resist dimples). A 1 inch layer of pudding on top of a playfield isn't going to make it resist dimpling. If CPR is using a higher hardness, more dense veneer than Stern playfields, then maybe, but from my reading CPR is saying they use the same wood veneer as Stern. It is thicker (for sanding reasons). Unless the ball is putting dimples right through the veneer I don't see how thick the layer is relevant. You are playing on the surface.

Maybe it's the other way around? Put a thin veneer on top of pudding. Does .048 vs .075 matter then?

Quoted from paul_8788:

Actually, thinking about it, pudding may be the perfect playfield material when it comes to dimpling. It is more of a thick liquid, so dimples would just disappear. Ball times would be really slow though, and it would create a lot of mess with splashing, etc.

LOL..

Is that a thing? How did I miss that one? *goes to look for setting*

Yep. I wish they'd get rid of voting altogether as I think it stifles conversation, but c'est la vie...
