Amazon appears to have 2 packs for $26 including free shipping... though shipping times appear to be slower because not PRIME.

Maybe the answer to this question is in this or another thread, but I didn't find it with my initial search (albeit a very short search).

What are others doing with new CPR repro playfields? Is the clear that comes with these sufficient for general home use play? Or are others recommending a process of sanding and applying more coats with the spraymax 2k product? Keep in mind that I've never done this before and would really not like to make the playfield worse. But I'm assuming now is the time to think about this if I were ever going to do it... because after doing the playfield swap, it will be too late of course.

That’s one way to do it.

But in case you weren’t aware, there is another very useful feature in the forums... you can click the bookmark symbol near the bottom left of the post and then click “save post bookmark”. It even allows you to add tags so you can search your bookmarks later. I use tags such as “mods” or “tech repair” or “restoration”, etc.

You can basically build your own library of useful posts that you’d like to refer back to.

I would second this motion. Don't get me wrong... the advice is very useful and I would absolutely follow it if I use this product in the future (never used it so far). Thanks semicolin for the great info. I just think after 2-3 pages of posts about this safety topic that it's run it's course and just serves to derail the actual discussion of doing the restorations with this product. Just my two cents worth and maybe others don't agree. I can just scroll past it of course, but hard to separate the wheat from the chafe with so much repeated posts saying the same thing. I mean, come on semi... even you must be tired of repeating yourself time after time? Just use minimum or above minimum PPE and that's it. Case closed.

So, I have a question that may have been answered already, or possibly in Vid’s playfield restoration guide... but I’ll risk it and ask anyway.

Do people recommend using spraymax 2k to clear over new CPR playfields? I purchased an earthshaker playfield to do a swap and it looks fantastic to me already. I am not as picky as some though, but definitely want it to last decades if I go through the trouble of doing a PF swap. Should I just install and forget it? Or should I add additional clear to give it more protection/strength? And if so, what sanding method should i start with? I will go back and read more now before I do it, so don’t need details... but if someone wants to give a brief list of steps, that would be awesomely appreciated!!

Thanks Dave! That’s where I was leaning anyway... but then I read these threads/posts about people going all Kruzman on their NOS playfields... or I see High_End_Pins making a new playfield even more perfect... and I start overthinking it. In the end, if I want that perfection I think I’ll just send to Chris and pony up the cash to have it be perfect. But your advice is spot on for any pf swaps that i might do myself.
