Replacing Your Pool Table Cushions |

felt from Start to Finish

Now,
with the new pool table cushion cut, spread a fair amount of contact cement
along the edge of the rail, and the new pool table cushion. Wait a few minutes
until the glue starts to turn a little white, and then place the new cushion in
place. Pay attention to make sure that the corners are lined up properly, and
that you lay the new cushion as even and as straight as possible with the top
edge of the rail. |
 |
Press the pool table cushion down firmly, working
back and forth along the rail, and working out any irregularities as you go. It
needs to be as straight as possible. |
 |
Here is the small black pocket protector. Just attach
it with a fair amount of cement, and be sure that your corner is nice and
pointy, with no irregularities, or gaps.
(NOTE:
although when a professional recovers a pool table with felt the job is usually
complete in one day, and the bumpers are recovered after sitting for a while, I
strongly recommend that you allow the bumpers to sit overnight before
recovering them so that the new cushions, and the pocket protector are firmly
attached, and dry so that they don't shift when you recover them)
