Ok so I already screwed up one cp overlay...I am having a problem at the top of the cp where the fold over is...any hints or advice as to get this fold to stay down? the overlay is bigger then the cp panel and is tough to bend...any other advice as to the process of install would be greatly appreciated...thanks!!
 
Thanks Rich...yea it's an old thick repro...wish me luck...going to work on moon patrol in the next couple of weeks.....
 
Any luck?

Ive done this cpo wish I had done a tutorial on it at the time I think it was my very first.

I just posted another tutorial on COSP applying a
the AgentX marquee and I used the same thickness as that centipede so you might find some tips helpful there as well.

Or for those installing a upright SW or Crystal Castles MArquees same thing.

if its the older aracde renovations one this was a tuff one
since they used a .015 vs the typical .010 thickness in polycarb.
and its hardfer to fold and shape

I bought one from arcadeshop. Three months later and the overlay is already cracking at the bends :(

Excellent guide there, thanks.. I'll be doing this on a Crystal Castles eventually.

I've yet to use heat though.. I'm mostly afraid of it making the overlay delaminate. Maybe I worry too much..

a Centipede??
I wonder if those were the same cpos as from ArcadeRenovations??

mine has been on for I dont know how many years and has zero cracking
:confused:
 
Just a follow up to my question, it looks like Quarterarcade just did a fresh run of cpos, but they are 15 mil as well. Not sure why if the typical is 10mil.
 
Id be willing to bet those are the same AR versions from before simce Anthiny bought up all that stock.
I cant imagine running a new batch on the same thicker poly.

That's what I figured not sure why his eBay auction says fresh off the press.
 
cp overlay went on great...used the heat trick at the top to get the fold to go over nice...Thanks Rich for the tips.......
