This mylar is designed to help protect the area around the spider magnet and in front of the three targets under the spider from playfield art and clear chipping.
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 a philips screwdriver to remove one of the screws for the plastic covering the spider mount nut. Once the screw is removed, rotate the plastic out of the way, exposing the nut on the spider spring steel mount.
- Remove the nut on the spring steel mount, then lift the spider and spring steel mount off the threaded post.
- Use the included alcohol wipe to make sure the area where the mylar will go. Let it dry.
- Bend back about 1/2" of the backing paper on one side or the other of the mylar and crease it hard so it sets as flat as possible against the back side.
- Center the hole on the magnet, and make sure the two cutouts on the left and right line up by the posts on either side of the targets.
- When everything is lined up and the magnet is centered in the middle of the mylar, press down on the exposed piece of mylar to set it in place and smooth it so there are no bubbles and the playfield becomes clearly visible through the mylar.
- Lift the mylar and grab the 1/2" you folded back underneath and slowly pull it 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.
- Return the spring mount with the spider onto the post and re-install the nut. When it is secure, swing the plastic back into place and re-install the screw holding that in place.
