    Storing a playfield in a garage might not be the wisest thing to do. That area isn't as temperature/humidity controlled as inside the house. My guess is, since it was stored in the garage, that's probably was caused the issues.

    I'm scared to death to check on the 8 CPR playfields I have in the closet.

    Quoted from metahugh:

    Did you leave them in their shipping boxes? If so I'd remove them and let the clear properly cure. Store them flat or install some hardening rails if you need to store them vertical.
    So ZR... if you sanded the field did you buff it out yet or did you just leave it sanded? Looks like the latter to me.

    All of my playfields are still in their shipping boxes.

    Just removed all of my playfields from their boxes. Gave them all a quick look over...everything seems fine.

    Quoted from kruzman:

    If you store a pf with automotive clearcoat, and you keep it in the box store it so nothing is putting weight on the clear side. packaging and the weight of the pf and packing materials are enough to bogart a finish. especially when it is curing for the first couple months

    I've had some of these playfields since 2015. They've always been stored in their shipping boxes and the boxes stored on their sides. I'm guessing the curing process would be complete by now.
