Hey!

Todays stupid question:)

I just got my Xenon playfield, and there's slight lifting of the mylar at the
inserts and some corners.

Since my last attempt destroyed the playfield, I want to save this mylar.
So, I want to make this mylar stick BACK where it loosened...

I'm guessing that gas from the inserts make the mylar over inserts lift, but
are the original adhesive still present? Would I be able to use heat to maybe
re-start the adhesive? Maybe a hairdryer?

Any advice would be great!

Thanks,

Nicholas
 
I'll be the first jerk to say "pull the mylar anyway".

I wouldn't consider a playfield swap with the crappy old mylar still on the playfield.

But it stays on!

In that case you'll need some of this ;)

I would probably try heating it and pressing it down like you've suggested. Last time this came up people were suggesting crazy glue and all kinds of stuff. That's the last thing I would do.
