I think all the new clear coats are a gamble. The EPA has over regulated and durability is being sacrificed with any kind of clear coat.

Quoted from arcademojo:One question about the original playfields. Did they come with clear coat from the factory?
Of course they did, but there were less regulations as far as fumes and things back then.
In the effort to be more "Environmentally Friendly" the quality of clear coat (and paint) has suffered a lot.
Quoted from colonel_caverne:It is a gamble when a thin layer is applied? Do you consider when some famous people here (Ron, bill...) are clear coating a pf is a gamble? No no no
...and everybody knows that current playfield are not so hard than original. So it needs to compensate for with several clear coated layers and so some time. But time is money...waste money
Playfield restorers are not bound by EPA regulations and such like a big manufacturer would be, so yes they are using "the good stuff".
Here in California it's outright insane, not sure about Illinois...but clearly the new methods are not working well.
