I thought "ghosting" meant the effect that LED's give to a ball. Are we talking about something different here?

Quoted from vid1900:Usually I remove Mylar, Magic Eraser, and scrape paint off worn inserts .
Then I put down a light coat of clear.
This:
1. Locks down worn wood fibers, letting the paint adhere cleanly, without fuzz or texture.2. Locks down existing paint - so masking tape and frisket don't lift paint and make more work for me.3. Fills in planking and swirl. Sometimes the tiny cracks simply fill in and do not need further painting.4. A new coat of clear highlights low spots that need to be brought up so the playfield is dead flat. A quick run of 220 grit sandpaper over the field will show much work needed. If you see shine, that spot is low!
How do you decide when to take the mylar off? Obiviously if you have raised inserts -but if the inserts are flat and it is not bubbling or flaking - can/should you just leave it on?
