Quoted from McCune:Thanks Tom ! Some people just don't get it ..
I call them "protectors" because thats what they are. I do not call them "cover ups"
To each their own, of course.
To those who choose my lil' creations I thank you very kindly.
No disrespect taken, Jim. We both do our part to contribute to our beloved hobby-cum-passion. I simply wanted to point out that they DO protect as advertised and not merely cover up damage. That's a bonus, however 
Quoted from Atomicboy:I have often wondered if after time the Cliffy's will leave a slight imprint in the PF as ramp flaps do.
I've been asked this over the past 10 or so years and I honestly can't say one way or the other. The difference between my scoop protectors and ramp flaps is that ramp flaps are tensioned against the playfield whereas my protectors simply lie there flat. There is no tension or pressure until a ball rolls over it and even then it's negligible.
The other thing ramp flaps do is rub back and forth as the ball's impact pushes the ramp back. Combine this with the pressure mentioned before and it causes the dreadful wear lines we all know and hate. My protectors do not slide back and forth so no chance of wear from that.
At the end of the day, though, I can't guarantee they won't leave some impression. I recommend a narrow strip of 2mil mylar or static cling vinyl (stealth) under the edge before installing my protectors for those with such concerns.
Quoted from davewtf:I hope this wasn't seen as bashing your cliffies, Cliffy. I was just trying to get an opinion as to if people would assume damage underneath if they see cliffies.
No way! I didn't see it that way at all bud. I just looked at another chaps LAH he is planning to sell in the buying and selling section and he has no protectors on the scoops. Frankly it ain't pretty so in that case I would definitely think my protectors would add value. However I absolutely respect others opinions either way.
Quoted from donjagra:I still need to order the new DW ramp protector, and my creature snack bar could use one too.
all it takes is an email, buddy
Quoted from davewtf:Do you make anything else for that game? (JD)
Not yet but I've ben asked to look at doing ramp entrance protectors and the hardest of all jackpot/subway scoop protector. Eventually
