Quoted from vid1900:The solution is now obvious:
>- Stern will have to stop using wrap around decals. -<
Cabinet corners have ALWAYS split (well, at least since the dawn of Pinball).
But now that the decals wrap around, even the slightest hairline movement will telegraph through the decal; splitting it and becoming **Pinside DecalGate**.
Stern even took the extra effort to change the cab joints from Lockmiter to Lockcap in order to move the seam off of the corner, but that only moves the seam, not preventing the movement of the joint.
It might be time to get rid of fragile decals altogether - and go back to silkscreen cabs.
Yeah I thought this too... I wonder if every pic example of the problem has the wrap around decals? I'm too lazy to go back through the thread to check.
I bet somebody will though...
oops forgot about the thread "image gallery"... very handy
