I successfully took the mylar off of my Funhouse and barely any paint came off! But now i have the problem of time. The adhesive still needs to be removed so I started with goo gone. But I dont havce the time to do it all in one day. Any suggestions for my in between time? Should wipe it down with something so the goo gone isn't sitting there all day? and if so what?

thanks

You don't have to do it all at once, but I would not let goo gone sit on the playfield all day. Wipe up the goo gone when you are done for the day. Use the Flour method, only took me 45 minutes to do the whole lower playfield of black knight.

Great thanks! I have been doing the flour method. I works great. Any suggestions what to clean up the goo gone with? or just wipe it down?

I just removed all Mylar on a funhouse playfield yesterday with no paint coming up . I used aircraft decal and adhesive remover. I just need a funhouse now. It will be clear coated this week some time.
