Thanks for this excellent post. Did you do "only" about the slings? Fortunately my NIB POTC had no raised clear out of the box. So the first thing I did before playing game 1, was to change out to star posts and medium density thin rubber washers. Before and after pics below. Fingers crossed this will keep any issue at bay. I will report back as well.
IMG_3781 (resized).JPGIMG_3783 (resized).JPGQuoted from Tranquilize:I think we should now call a "playfield iron."
Thus it has been named! : )
I have ordered one, and intend to share it with my local pinheads if they need it.
Quoted from PinballSTAR:As a distributor I'm going to say :
2. JJP is asking people to NOT remove your posts just yet

What? Nope. Are you not aware of the JJP post on their website concerning the POTC "Update Kit"? It's a post replacement kit. See link.
Quoted from Yelobird:Lol too funny love the creative touch! If you do proceed, do so slowly its really not that hard to do. Best of luck to you!
You can bet I'm going to try it! : )
I think it's genius. But I will be one of those that buys an extra playfield for their "Forever Pin". ; )
Quoted from Yelobird:Just an suggestion but as it appears JJP is now randomly offering no cost replacement playfields Please see if you qualify before attempting any fix first! Hate to see you not get what you deserve. If you get a replacement no doubt fix it with no worries then you'll have a spare! Just a suggestion.
Thankfully my JJP isn't having an issue. But my Beatles has "slight" pooling, and is well past warranty. I got the Iron as a "just in case" measure. : )
Thanks YB!
Quoted from Yelobird:Hoping to do some Bill Nye hardness testing this week.
bill-nye-dolph-lundgren (resized).jpgQuoted from Yelobird:Absolutely. The iron press process is done first to bring the playfield clear and art back to original level while slightly hardening both at the same time. From there placed a small (nail) UV lamp (link below) or similar over the repaired area. After about a minute the UV hardening seems to be complete as the surface is rather thin. Again, similar to the process used in hard curing 3D resin printed parts. At that point I light clean with alcohol and apply a mylar ring to protect from any cracking or chipping now that its set. Hope that makes sense.

I kind of like this one. More portable, Smaller for the Playfield, but lower W's. So it might take 30 more seconds.

Quoted from Yelobird:Doesn’t really matter. Nor is it a mandatory process. i found the addition step gave me confidence the issue would never return. Time will tell.
Yelobird,
when are you going to do a video tutorial about the whole process? I'm thinking it would get quite a few views bu interested parties.
Quoted from Kevlar:Thanks to Yelobird for the guide, I've just spent a few hours sorting 7 posts pooling on my IMDN pro.

Did you also use the "Nail" UV lamp to help cure after "ironing" down? I think Yelobird has said he has seen NO issues after having performed this repair.
Quoted from Yelobird:I am still trying to verify that the UV cure adds value. So far the simple iron press and Mylar rings works without further issue with minimal cost or effort.
I should have said "performed the ironing repair with Mylar" and been more specific. I remembered you were still evaluating the UV cure. I can't get anything right today. : (
