Quoted from Flipper_McGavin:The bubbles weren't there from the factory. They were caused by the heat of the incandescent bulbs warping the material after several decades. To try and get rid of bubbles, do the pinholes through the backside rather than the front.

I see...makes sense (and thx for the info everyone). Did yours need to be repaired with pinholes? If so, looks great!
Did you replace your incandescent bulbs with LED's? Curious.

My WH20 cabinet was restored/redecaled 12-14 years ago IIRC. Unfortunately, these smart leg protectors didn't exist at the time and I used the awful plastic "protectors" that were awesome at creating leg crinkle
Finally decided to fix it and was really pleased with the outcome. Used a hairdryer to peel back the decal and then stretched and ironed out the crinkles by hand (then installed the smart leg protectors). Took 15 minutes and looks much better!

I got lucky...the decals were rubbery (not dried out) and the existing glue seemed to work. Just used my fingers to stretch and smooth. I had some "crazy glue" to help, but decided "less was more" in this instance. Considering the size of the crinkle, I was really happy with the result - those decals were done more than 12 years ago!

Quoted from Aflacjack:White Water was the first pinball I bought back in 2006. I kept that machine for 12 years and now have another one. I’ll always have one even though I have changed this one quite a bit. One of the greatest games ever.

Back in 2010, I picked up a HUO CV and restored WH20 together for $9500
Sold the CV after 2 years and still have the WH20...hard to believe it's been over 12 years. I've always thoughts it's a top-tier game...never seems to get the love/recognition it deserves. A Dennis Norman masterpiece...way ahead of it's time.
