how much was your felt?? cost$??

[snakeclaw]

@oakwoodave1086 @oakwoodave1086 dont remember. it was the championship tour edition cloth. google up: Championship/3030-tour-edition

mine is the euro blue, which i love and think is the best color ever. this site says $160 to $190 depending on your size table.

and here's a joke...do not buy the best cloth, buy the worsted (read the cloth spec and its sort of funny).

i love and hate my slate table. did you use super glue for the wood that you used to staple on to?

[snakeclaw]

@Insane82chevy i only used super glue on the felt as it wraps around the slate down into the pockets because the felt started to tear. probably should have sanded the slate before i felted it. i stretched the felt really tight too. the super glue stopped the felt from tearing but it put "lips" on the pockets that stops the balls from rolling in. i fixed that with sandpaper (99.9%).

i used gorilla glue to stick the mdf board onto the slate. must use clamps or extreme weight for that job.

@snakeclaw ...and further, be very careful when you use gorilla glue (or any glue) to stick wood to the back of the slate. the slate must be perfectly flat and have no warping (such as might occur if the slate was supported only by the edges and it would bend in the middle). the wood will permanently hold the shape of the slate, so do your best to make sure the slate isn't under extreme stress or bending while you do this process.

@Insane82chevy btw, if you decide to glue wood to the bottom of your slate (a very good idea if you do not have wood there now), you must consider a few things. the wood is required to put staples into to hold the cloth tight. w/o the wood, you are doomed to have spray adhesive holding your cloth to the slate. it will be loose and will suck hard. this is a great opportunity to increase the mass of the table which will improve it's performance. use lots of 3/4" mdf.

@kakho31 Hi Kakho, I'd like to see your video on how to install felt. I have a 3X6 Coin Op table that I need to have new felt installed and want to see how you do it.
