Pinball Plastics Protectors make your own demonstration

[bigblackhemi]

Hi Clark. I enjoyed watching your vids. Well done.

Have you tried to flame polish the edges of the plastic protectors?

There are some vids here on utube how to do that.

It makes the those milky edges to look clear like glass.

I really like it because it is very easy to do and the result is great.

@bigblackhemi Excellent idea, I can see that that would work quite well! Thanks! :)

I agree the full plastic protection is likely worth the effort if the plastics are indeed likely to break. I just think that is a LOT of work to get them protected. I have seen most plastics break at the flipper corner and not much elsewhere. Nice work putting together the vid. Keep up the tips.

Just love the industrial nature of the work you do, hack and slash. The black sharpie around the original with the markings on the edge makes me smile. That is a lot of work to avoid breakage. Just put some washers on the posts that are the same radius as the plastic or a little larger and no worked needed like you have shown.

Hi there.

The washer trick works well but is just a little to visible for my liking. I think you can get polycarbonate (clear) washers which would alleviate that to a large degree, (which may be what you were referring to). Also a washer will only take care of a corner strike, though 99% of the time it will be for the slings.

Kind regards... Clark
