This mylar is designed to help protect the mystery island VUK area from playfield art and clear chipping. It's available as a full size mylar that protects the diagonal runup behind the flipper and the mystery VUK lane OR as a mini version that only covers the mystery vuk lane only.
The white backing paper only shows the coverage area for the mylar. When installed, the 3mil thick mylar is transparent.
Mylar includes single use alcohol wipe to clean the install area before installing it.
NOTE: If your playfield has already chipped or flaked in the area you intend to install the mylar, you MUST clean and then seal the chip/flake area with Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails clear nail polish #800 (UPC 0 74170 38283 9) to arrest the chipping. If you just put the mylar over the damage without taking this step, the chipping can continue under the mylar.
INSTALLATION TIPS:
- Use the included alcohol wipe to make sure the area where the mylar will go. Let it dry.
- Bend back about 1" of the backing paper on the end with the split sides that goes around the switches and crease it hard so it sets as flat as possible against the back side.
- Line the mylar up with the flat end right before the dropoff into the VUK hole so the mylar is right on the edge of the dropoff, but NOT hanging over it. Also make sure the mylar is resting against the right side rail of the playfield. Note that you may have to raise the flipper to let the part behind it drop in properly.
- When everything is lined up, press down on the exposed piece of mylar by the switch slot to set the mylar in place and smooth it so there are no bubbles and the playfield becomes clearly visible through the mylar.
- Lift the mylar slightly and grab the 1" you folded back underneath and slowly pull it towards the VUK hole from the back as you smooth it with a hard edge like a credit card, etc to make sure no bubbles get under the mylar. Pull and smooth slowly for a good install. Note that you may have to push back on the targets to allow the narrow edge of the mylar under them.
- Smooth the mylar more if necessary until it seems to disappear into the playfield.
