PROCEDURE
• Start by cleaning the overlay with a pasty mixture of Comet Cleanser
and water.
• Next apply ammonia with a rag to the stained areas. The ammonia
opens up the pores in the overlay. 1bis is a critical step.
• Next, soak a rag in hydrogen peroxide and place the rag on the
cigarette stains for approximately 30 minutes. The hydrogen peroxide
is a bleaching agent and will take out the stain almost like magic.
• Complete the job by cleaning the overlay again with a mild abrasive.
A toothbrush for small areas and a bathroom brush for larger areas
both work very well.
• Seal the entire overlay with an acrylic floor finish (Future or Clear).

collections.
Coin Concepts, Inc. showed a mini skee-ball (no
alley to roll the ball, the kids just drop the balls
in the holes) and a mini basketball. The num-
bers look good and these items should be con-
sidered for both large and small (little space)
arcades and gamerooms.
Make sure the boss knows about the upcoming
seminars being put on by myself and
STARflECH Journal. The boss will learn how to
save big money so he/ she can buy more new
games and perhaps some new test equipment
for the shop. You techs will learn plenty so that
the equipment will get up and running faster
and stay that way longer. Register now!
