Yes he did!!! I was at a crossroads after damaging the playfield with the mylar removal; do I clearcoat the inserts in place and try to make it nice or do I get all ballsy and remove the inserts to make sure they are pefectly smooth? On one hand I don’t want to make the playfield worse and on the other I want it to be as nice as it can be while at the same time testing and improving my restoration skills. I swallowed my fear and removed 6 of the damaged inserts from the playfield.
The last time I removed inserts it tore some of the art from the playfield so I was a bit apprehensive. I’m glad I decided to remove them in the end. Next steps are testing how I want to clear this area. I still have more testing to do with Minwax Polycrylic and Auto Lacquer before I make a final decision.
