Unfortunately, the initial pooling on an outlane post on my new Met Premium has morphed into cracking. I know the “iron” method is not going to help with that. If anyone knows the best way to repair this damage and/or prevent it from getting worse I’d appreciate it (assuming Stern doesn’t offer a replacement). Thanks.

Quoted from Yelobird:

Sorry I don't think this repair will help much in that scenario as the clear has gone from jelly to hard to cracked. Beyond stopping that one now sadly. First suggestion as you have already done is document everything and submit to both Stern and your supporting distributor. After that best suggestion I can make is to lock that failed area with a piece of mylar offered at many locations including PinballLife and Marco. While it could be suggested to use a drop of water thin super glue I would be afraid your repair could get worse. Sad outcome hope you can get this mended.

Thanks for the suggestions. So far, no response of any kind from Stern or my “supporting” distributor. At the very least, a simple acknowledgement would be nice. Funny how I get a quick response from the distro when I ask about pricing and payment for a new game. Now, not so much.

Quoted from Shmilder:

Can someone post a link to the iron. I'm in Australia but can't find one anywhere, here or international.

Just FYI, the iron caused the clear to crack around one of my posts. It was probably my fault for leaving the iron on too long (everyone else seems to have had great results), but be careful!
