So my issuse is the second layer of cc separating from the first, I guess I need to sand this area off? And reclear? Our can I cut it out with an xacto knife, sand , reclear
Quoted from quinntopia:Is it normal for Frisket to leave some glue residue on the playfield after being cut and removed (and after painting?)?
I use the stuff the sell at Hobby Lobby, the first set was fine, but this second set will randomly leave glue residue on the playfield.
Is it possible for it to go bad?
I can clean it off with Naptha, but I don't like doing that right before spraying.
I've had this problem in the past. Are you heat setting your paint? I noticed if I heat set and then remove right away I get glue residue. But if I wait 5 minutes for everything to cool back down I don't have the problem.
Quoted from vid1900:Oftentimes I knock the edge off the Createx, especially if it was frisketed.
Vid ,
What grit do you use to knock it down?
Vid,
I'm really hoping you could give some guidance for this one. I've done multiple playfield restoration and this by far will be the most challenging I believe or if you feel it's un save able I will just use it for a scan and make a overlay for my other playfield.
1st issue, it seems at some point she got infested with termites. How could I go about fixing this damage
3rd, the crazing on the playfield is the worst I've seen, the lower part it's really bad, I'm concerned that if I scuff it I'm going to lose a ton of paint or if I try to remove the Mylar around the pops I'll pull a bunch too.

Vid,
Is there any benefit of layinv my first layer of clear with out the inserts in? I'm replacing them all and was thinking I should sand the back of the playfield now, hit it with grey and then clear it. Doing thos now would seal the backside and there would be excessive clear in the inserts
