Interesting, never seen this stuff before.

I've used pourable epoxy on a table top before, it's a tad unnerving to use (you have to mix it right, pour it quickly because it sets fast) but it's the same stuff they use to coat bartops in commercial settings, so it's definitely tough.

I'd like to see how that spray holds up.

I've used it to seal flaking artwork on a pinball backglass, but haven't ever tried it on a CPO.

IMO I doubt its tough enough to withstand the beating that a CPO would take.

I've seen quite a few people use it on pinball back glass. That stuff is a ---smurfette--- to find in stores though. I'd have to order it online and the shipping becomes an issue.

I would not use it on CPO's for that exact reason. Plus if, and when, it gets all scratched up, it'd be too hard to replace.

I couldn't tell from the MSDS what KTT is made of. It's 83% Propane, Butane, Toluene, and Acetone so one could probably light a camp fire with it.

Just use plexiglass/lexan if you want to cover your overlay. Triple Thick is ok for a peeling, screened glass, but it's hard to get a perfectly even finish from an aerosol can.This isn't an issue for someone saving the back side of a peeling glass.
