    After previously spending countless hours using flour and alcohol to rub away the glue residue from mylar removal, I tried this instead. On an old Medusa playfield, I just wet the mylar glue with alcohol and let it sit for about 3 minutes. Then I used a plastic razor blade to scrape away the wet, jellified glue. It came off completely in one pass and did not damage the artwork. I am hating myself for not trying this years ago! Previously the amount of alcohol, flour, and rubbing with my thumbs on large mylar areas was literally working my fingers to the bone.
