Quoted from kruzman:In my experience populating pf's that are clearcoated, I found before I do every drill I use my diamond dremmil bit to remove the clear, then I use my glue kit to apply the glue so it immediatly absorbs in to the wood and under the clear all around the hole.
Any chance us customers could get a video of you doing this work so we can see how its done proper? Looking forward to a Kruzman YouTube channel 
Quoted from kruzman:AS for a video at the pf compound, I dont really have the ego for that. There have only been about 8 pics taken olf me in over 10 years. Although it would take much less time to show than explain, and that is apealing for sure. prob is I dont have a video camera or know how to use u tube except look at it. I sure it could be figured out, but I am not a big computer person. I like the idea now that I think about it just because it would save me time answering questions from folks who are doing their own work and have questions.
we shall see
Ron, if you put out a video series I would buy it! Someone volunteer to do the video and editing for Ron in exchange for some playfield restoration knowledge!
Quoted from Dayhuff:Problem with this idea is that doing playfields is his only bread and butter. Putting out too much information (which I think he does already for his sake) is like cutting into his sole income. It literally just wouldn't make cents.
John
I actually think it expands his current market. The people that are interested in paying top dollar for Ron to work his magic on a playfield and have it perfect are not going to buy a video in an attempt to duplicate his work. You are assuming people would gain the knowledge and be able to replicate the quality of his work, which I don't think is going to happen.
What would happen on the other hand is Ron would be able to capitalize on people who can not afford his playfields but can afford to buy a video on how they could do it. Not to mention, I don't think Ron making videos of how he fixes minor issues that may pop up with playfields, like ghosting, would stop someone from buying a Kruzman playfield.
Maybe I'm over estimating the skill it takes to do this quality of work, but I really don't think I am. I know I couldn't do it, but I would certainly buy a video with Kruzmans name on it demonstrating proper care of a playfield, minor touch ups, fixes, etc. I'm sure Ron is pretty tired of explaining a lot of that ad nauseum to his new customers as well.
Quoted from kruzman:I would rather take on an apprentice/partner. This area is one of the cheapest areas in the country to live in, that is developed, yet not dangerous. I live in the sticks but there are 15 golf courses within 15 miles from me. I even have a guest house for the apprentice/partner/employee (pick one) to rent if he or she wants. How about that?
You got a kid fresh out of college, grad or drop out who cares with some talent and a work ethic, tell him/her
That's awesome!
