Quoted from vid1900:3M says the 300LSE adhesive has an 18 month shelf life from the time it's shipped from 3M

So what does one do if you have a hard top that has been sitting longer than 18 months? I have one for my Flash Gordon but never got around to installing it. Now I'm kicking myself...

On the F-14 hard top are the arrow inserts clear on the hard top or are they tinted red and blue? My inserts are badly faded.

I sanded my Flash Gordon playfield last night getting it ready for the Hardtop and it feels a little lumpy when I run my hand across it. Did anyone else have this happen, and will it be an issue when I install the Hardtop? Also how fine of sandpaper did you go to on the inserts? I plan on coating it with 2PAC before laying down the Hardtop.
Quoted from Mathazar:When I prep playfields for hardtops, I use 220 with an orbital sander (and light pressure) to get the artwork off. Then follow up with block sanding at 400/600 to make sure the playfield is as level as possible.
The hardtop is rigid enough that if there are valleys in the playfield surface as a result of too-aggressive sanding that it would not be noticed. However, I wouldn't want any of those voids to be too big, so I'd recommend flattening them out as much as possible.
All of this is really overkill, anyway....you don't need to remove any artwork or do massive sanding. Just make sure your inserts are free of artwork and focus on those....eliminate the potential for jacking up your playfield surface with aggressive sanding.
2PAC is overkill too, IMO. I've done it with no clear and focusing on wet sanding only inserts (220/600/800/1200), I've done it laying down rattle can clear to "seal" the surface before putting down the hardtop, and I see no difference (and it's going on a couple of years for a few of my hardtop installs).
Thanks for the advise. This is my first Hardtop install. I know the 2PAC is overkill but I have two other playfields I am clearing anyway so I was just going to use it on this one too. I may block sand it a little tonight and see if that helps. It's not too bad, but not perfectly flat either. I probably got a little to aggressive with my sanding. I started with 150.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:That is a licensed theme, so I have to go with Whirlwind.
My guess is also Big Guns, Whirlwind and Nitro Ground Shaker
