But in the mean time, you are welcome to share pictures of where your damage is. I used heavy photo stock, and there's only one spot where I've had hangups, but if I had cut the overlay differently, it wouldn't be a problem. Or if I'd used vinyl, which is significantly thinner. I'll probably rework the one area (it's the right inlane). I also haven't levelled and angled the game properly yet, so it may go away once I have the angle set properly. The whole overlay thing, for games that will never be "collector quality" is probably a great avenue to explore. But it seems that it's not talked about too much. So yeah, let's have more of a conversation about that, starting with the damage on your game. I should eventually write up a full post on how I made the overlays.

I recently picked up a BoP game and like you, mine has some damage. It is good in some areas and bad in others. My left left is quite a bit like yours but not quite as bad. I was wondering what you did to make your overlays. Do they affect the way the ball travels on the playing field? I would love to share some pictures with you and see what I can do with my BoP. Anyhow your game is looking great! Love to hear some more about it. Email me at dohmj@trine.edu TTYL, -JD- Hi Chris! I recently picked up a BoP game and like you, mine has some damage.
