Refelting Your Pool Table
Replacing the pool
table cushions
and recovering them with felt |
When
refelting or recovering the top of the uncovered rail of the pool table. There
is a thin peice of metal, called a feather strip, that is used to hold the pool
table felt in place on the top of each rail of the pool table. Use a straight
edge to draw a line across the exact center of the feather strip, and the rail.
This is so you can put it back in the proper place when you're done refelting
them and not end up with one end sticking out later when you put the new pool
table felt on. |

Here you can see Allen removing the metal strip from
the pool table rail. Start at one end, gently using a screwdriver to get it
started if necessary, and then just lift it out of the groove. Don't damage the
wood by using too much pressure. |

In this picture of the pool table, you can see the
old pool table cushion on the right, and the new pool table cushion laying next
to the rail. It needs to be cut at the proper angle for each corner of the pool
table...don't assume that they are all the same angle or length. To remove it,
Allen started at one end, and used a screwdriver to get it started, and then
just pulled it off. The small black piece laying on the pool table bed, is a
pocket protector that can be reused on the pool table pockets as long as it
isn't damaged. |
