thanks so much for doing this. Will certainly give it a shot.

Quoted from haveaniceswim:

Have you cleaned the screen material on the drop targets yet? Novus 1?

best rubber cleaner: lemon essential oil + water 1:3 mix, works like a charm.

IF any of you have optimum cleaner (orange is color), for detailing cars, use that too, 1:6 mix or higher. Optimum is an amazing cleaner, but essential oil diluted is a much better, safer, easier approach. Lemon will also dissolve any glue so go easy.

Quoted from MrMikeman:

Sucks I can’t get the samples shipped to Canada. I tried.

can one of those services that receive it in the US and pass it over the border be used?
for example:

Quoted from MrMikeman:

I don't know. Probably have to look into it if I want the DS9 material...

ok let me know what you decide and maybe we can order together.

Quoted from killborn:

Got mine installed last night and I love it. I only did the big screen, both ramps and the drops and I was able to do that with 3 sheets and some to spare.
Just to add some side notes:
You have to remove the old material from the drops otherwise the "4 bank drop trip" doesn't work properly.
Should also remove the old material from the ramps because otherwise the new screen will sit up above the ramp entrance plate. The height difference seemed pretty significant to me and worthy of removal.
Since I have an LE, I'm not sure where the reflection of the backglass shows up on regular glass, but with HD glass it shows up right over the big screen. Luckily there is a setting that turns down the backglass light during play and I turned it down to 25% and it made a huge difference.
Patience is key here, especially when removing the glue and paper from the DS9 sample and also when applying the adhesive to the sample so as to not get bubbles, we're talking TK lock level patience
Thanks Medisinyl for doing all the leg work!

Quoted from roar:

I wonder how well the material would cut in a Silhouette or a Cricut, that would be the way to get this done without having to take on the cost of die cutting. I've got a silhouette, but don't have a Stranger Things to test it with.

a circuit would be the way to go... I do not see why it would not work? mind you I never used one, lol

Quoted from killborn:

First page of the thread has a link.

Oh I missed it thanks.
Has anybody ordered this recently? Just wanting to confirm you still need 5 sample packs as per the instructions on page 1.

Quoted from PinPickle:

I bought 5 samples, waiting on my double sided tape to arrive.
After seeing the samples, I will have enough to make mistakes a few times.

Are they shipping to Canada now?

can you cut this material using a silhouette machine or circuit? cri cut or whatever it is called?

Is someone going to be offering the kit pre-cut? I am interested and I am sure many would too.

Quoted from ScottyC:

Introducing ScreenEffects for your Stranger Things Premium/LE machine.
First kits are starting to arrive today to those that reached out to get on the interest list earlier, but now opening up my pinside shop for domestic orders (international will be through my shopify store once everything is finalized, and payments are working properly.)

EDIT: 15:20 MT WHOA... A much bigger demand for this precut kit than I was expecting, Truly appreciate the support and response on this!!!.. I've depleted the amount of kits available that I can make with the materials I currently have on hand (other than standups and drop targets)... I will be ordering more materials, and will be adding this back in stock when those materials arrive... Stay tuned!!
Going to be very busy cranking out these kits as fast as I can for those that have ordered. Please be patient with me
EDIT: 18:20 MT
Additional materials have been ordered(hoping to have them next week). I have every intention of ensuring everyone that wants a kit can get one. If you'd like to secure a spot in line I have updated the listing to a pre-order (domestic only however). Those that got in before the pre-order status expect shipping withing 7-10 business days.
Again thank you for the support, glad I can offer this to the community.
