    I got a chip on my Full Throttle playfield when one of the motorcycle wheels lowered without me noticing creating a straight edge for the ball to slam into. The good news is I found the chip. I have been told to just use super glue to reattach the chip to the playfield.
    The chip is pretty small about 1/8" x 1/8" and it is paint only, no wood attached. I am hoping for better instructions than just super glue it.
    Like, what kind of super glue works best, how much to use, should I paint the super glue over the chip and surroundings?
    What to hold and position the chip with when gluing it.
    Any other suggestions like how to keep it from chipping again (mylar?) are welcomed as well.

    Carefully super glue it back on, cover it with a small piece if mylar to protect the repair.
