I don't have a picture to show my particular problem, but I'm having an issue with the last couple playfields I restored. I'm getting faint ghosting in the insert edge where the plastic meets the wood. It's a faint milky color which to me means ghosting. I've had my Earthshaker cleared and sitting for a couple months. I've put a handful of plays on it and I noticed this in the last couple of days. The playfield was originally mylared and was thouroghly cleaned and prepped before and after touch up. Should I have run superglue on the underside where the wood and plastic meet? Is this just what happens? If I'm making a mistake I would hate to keep doing so if I'm missing a step, using the wrong clear which I'm using Chromaclear. The game still is a beauty don't get me wrong but I'm sad that a game looked flawless and after a few plays under a microscope I'm noticing flaws that are arising. Thanks

I have heard that some system 11 have a surface treatment that can react with new clears to create bubbles, ghosting etc. When I had my earthshaker cleared I had to acknowledge that it can happen. I have couple instances of it and I cannot complain.
