Is all mylar the same? Or would you recommend one from a particular source? I have a TAF with some wear. I filled and painted the limited wear around the windows on the mansion, then covered it with mylar from Marco. The mylar seems intermittently hazy, though is not easy to see unless you are looking for it. The other mylar that the machine came with seems clearer. So just wondering if there are sources of mylar that are better than others. Thanks for your help to a newbie.

No idea about difference in qualiy but there are different thicknesses.

Pin restore is another source for large pieces that I am going to try some time.

Anywhere that prints signs has mylar.

They use it to protect ink jet printed vinyl graphics.

Super cheap, and any thickness if you buy it from them.

Sometimes even free if you just need scraps. To make sling protectors or for wear areas.

I have this sheet of 0.005. I got for free.

Yes, this is the best, I bought a few sheets. Very happy with it, It is the same thickness as the factory mylars used on early 80s bally games ect. if that is the thickness you are looking for.
