Quoted from cody_chunn:The mis-information that playfields don't wear in a home setting needs to be abolished. Even in home settings playfield wear can develop around pop bumpers, in front of slingshots at flipper tips, ball drops, around inserts, rollover trip-wire holes...more.
Do with this info as you wish, bu myt do not believe the "heavy wear" areas on a game don't wear in a home. It takes longer and isn't as much as route games, but they will wear.
I agree with this. While you don't need mylar in as many spots, I still tend to use it in some heavy travel spots. Even with diamond plated games playfield wear can creep up on you.
