    Quoted from The_Director:

    I'm doing my first Mylar removal (hopefully never again), but the Mylar refuses to come up in a decent size sheet. It keeps tearing and leaving jagged edges etc. I can't seem to even get the freeze spray method to work on this Mylar, it just tears no matter how slow I go or how much freeze I use. The goo gone and plastic razor is working, but still I can't seem to get it up in a large sheet no matter what. I'm about half way through the playfield now and I've done well with little to no damage on the playfield. A couple inserts damaged a very small amount but can be fixed. It just sucks having to peel up little tiny pieces rather than being able to get decent size sheets slowly at a time. Any advice, or do some pulls just turn into headaches like this one?

    Here's some good info on the subject from one of RGP good guys' website:
