Would you add them (adhesive style) to an NOS play field?

Quoted from EMsInKC:

In a home environment you'll probably never face the issue but the problem with the adhesive mylar is, well, it's adhesive. If it gets messed up you run the chance of paint loss trying to remove it.

Agreed, but I'd wax the heck out of the pf before putting down the mylar

Quoted from EMsInKC:

Sure. But you really only need a normal waxing. If you put down multiple coats it really won't give any more protection

I know, but it sounded good.

It would be able to be removed without (hopefully) pulling up paint.

I'm concerned about ruining a 49 year old NOS pf if I add the mylar, as well as if I don't add mylar! Granted this will only be home use only, so it won't get much wear at all.

Quoted from EMsInKC:

I'd use non adhesive or no mylar at all but it's not my playfield. Good luck however you proceed

Thanks,

I'd never use non-adhesive. I've seen too many pop bumper areas destroyed by those. Granted, after years of abuse and neglect, but still.....

Quoted from D-Gottlieb:

There is no way dirt can get under it.

No, but the downside is it can leave a ring around the edge of the mylar after some time. I'm so confused, maybe I'll leave the area unprotected and keep on top of cleaning / waxing. IDK. There are benefits, as well as negatives to each approach.
