First let me apoligize if this has already been covered. I would have
assumed it was but I could not find it.

My silverball mania backglass is in really good shape with the
exception of an area on the lower right corner. There is a bubble in
the paint at the very bottom of the glass. So it is actually a 1/2
circle off the bottom.

How should I fix this? I read a lot about coating the glass with
Triple Thick, but will this fix the bubble? All the paint is there and
there is no cracks or anything, it just lifted off the edge. Seems to
me that I would need to put something under it to seal it to the
glass, but not sure.

Thanks in advance.


If you can get under it with a syringe or a pick. I would use super
glue and glue the edge back down. If that works I would then leave
it. I have also used a brush type to get under it. Put down the glue
and then push the piece down while taking all the air out. DO NOT
TRIPLE THICK IT AS IS. you could lift more and continue the
destruction. You can do that small area also with TT if you can get
it under there with a syringe. Put down a little. Push out the air
and put something on it. Don't get the back sticky cause then you can
put something on it.

Again little area use super glue.
