Any concerns doing this method on a NIB game with a 2018 build date? Will it work if the clear has had 3 years to cure?

Quoted from Yelobird:

New process here and a some unknowns we will likely only know from experimentation is my guess. I have done an early Wonka that was well over a year old from production and likely the playfield was processed more like 2 years old but in that example the repair turned out just as if it was new when done. Key is to address it Before any ripping or chipping of the art. Can't give you a guarantee but will say I would safely do it and my guess is it would look better

Thanks, how have you addressed ball guides jammed into clear? Same method? Iron, Mylar, washer to lift off playfield?

Can confirm this worked on a 3 year old NIB play field

Anyone else have trouble with the iron not getting hot consistently? I’ve tried two different once with the same issue
