    Hello All,

    Thought there was a source out there that had self adhesive small round plastic disks if you will with varying center thickness' that would compensate for playfield inserts that have become concave. Any one else out there have contact information?

    Thank you,

    George

    there is a guy that sells them but i can't recall who it is at the moment. i bought a set of circle cutting punches off eBay for cheap for another project. i've never used them to cut material for inserts so i can't comment on that but the cutters themselves work great. with a set of these and some nylon and/or mylar stock you could make all the circles in any size for just about any insert.photo.JPGphoto.JPG

    Vid has a huge number of post on fixing concave inserts. I beleive via an eye-dropper using automotive Clear Coat.
    I've also seen it done via super glue. I dont think clear stickers are going to get you a nice flat surface.
