Ok, been trying to NOT make a mistake........

-Earthshaker play field
-All inserts removed(badly worn art), plan on doing touchups on PF, then re-gluing inserts and applying ink-up repros(I am not good with making water slides for the ENTIRE play field)

I plan on using the JC661 clear but have heard that System11 play fields can NOT be cleared with this product due to the original sealant they applied at the factory. Something about the inserts get foggy and lift up the art on them, some others have had a bad time with the entire PF on system11 games. Is this true??

I am replacing the art on all of the inserts to begin with. Do you see any issue with me using this clear as long as I properly strip, clean, ME, and Naphtha, the bare play field??

Thanks in advance!

I had a friend who had a bad experience and I read another thread about the System 11 games having poor results on using clear.

Your 1 - 6 is exactly what my plan was. But I would rather ask to be safe than sorry! Thanks!
