installed a lot of em.
Make sure you put a small amount of wax on a new one and it'll play like it should.
I was a little skeptical at first, but once you get them installed correctly it works out great.
As you know it's subjective on how a game feels after the install, to me it feels the same, maybe slightly faster... hard to say though.
Quoted from KozMckPinball:I know I am replying to a year old post but I have a question bout what was stated: Put a little bit of wax on the UNDERSIDE of the playfield protector? Is that what's being stated? Or wax on top? Or both?
no, not the underside.
I usually naptha or novus 1 the playfield really well then install.
After the install clean the top with novus 1. If you fine with the speed leave it, otherwise wait for around 50-100 plays and then wax the top only.
it's a night and day difference before and after waxing, and you rarely have to do it after the first wave (mainly novus or plastic polish). I usually only re-apply wax once every thousand plays or so.
Quoted from Nepi23:I will be putting a protector on MMR soon. There is only one problematic bit that I see - putting the protector behind the castle and there's that bend plastic part of the castle that needs to be removed and one does not want to cut it in half... I think putting down the pf-protector should go in a couple of evenings.
bent plastic piece of the castle?
Quoted from northerndude:The protectors (or at least mine anyway) was shipped in a roll in a tube.
it's really hard to get them flat sometimes after they've been rolled. I tossed one because I left It in the tube to long, couldn't get it to stop flexing.
Quoted from Nepi23:Yes, that's the one. I think it will be the most difficult bit.
I was asking, wasn't sure what piece you were talking about.
