Im a dingus and I accidentally bought an "inverted" V5 backlight but I don't want it to be inverted. Trouble is that the polarizer is attached directly to the diffusion material so I can't really get it off without getting new diffusion material (I don't know where to buy this lol). Does anybody have any ideas on what to do other than just buying a new backlight?

Thanks!

I recently bought a V5 from Nonfinite.  For whatever reason he only had inverted,  but he did include a spare polarizing screen because he knew I wanted it non-inverted. 

I figured I was supposed to peel off the already affixed, inverted polarizer but I didn't want to f%#$ it up so I just left it as inverted.   (I think you should be able to peel off the polarizer and your diffusion material should remain just fine,  you would just need a new polarizing screen). 

So long story short,  I have an extra polarizing screen.  I might put it up for sale on eBay for a couple bucks.  Places sell them too... Check out a few of my faves:  ASMRetro,  Nonfinite,  or Kitschbent!   They all sell these polarizer screens.

matt's mind

we've got the diffusion film too, it sounds like you are worried about ruining it if you peel off the polarization film

so, in case thats the issue: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/backlighting-film
