Quoted from Rdoyle1978:I don’t know exactly, but you need to let each layer really cure for about 30 days, and if you do several layers .. Doing the math, it’s probably not practical at the pace Stern is going. I think they spray them, let them cure enough to not be sticky and then do the next layer, etc. This means they are still soft underneath, and still malleable, so the ball pushes right through to the wood, and there you go, a dimple. If we were to not play our NIB games for 6 months, I wonder if the dimples would be far fewer, as the clear would have had time to cure.
This is like the pinball equivalent of a flat earther, or an anti-vaxxer or something. Seriously? You think think clearcoat is some kind of alien technology that if just air hardened a bit more would stop steel balls?
Quoted from Rum-Z:I expect doing this would usher in a new round of bitching.
It doesn't roll right.
Something about spin being affected.
It's too fast.
It's too slow.
