The spray adhesive I used here is 3M High Strength 90. Or you can use Super 77.

I was just about to recover my Snooker table & I said to myself "what has youtube got to offer". A couple of useless videos later I stumbled on to yours. You saved me hours of unnecessary work. Thanks a million, you're the best.

We followed your instructions exactly. Our 1960s one piece slate, 6 foot Valley bar box pool table came out amazing! It only took two of us about 1-1/2 hours start to finish including tearing off the old felt and scraping off the old glue.

Thank you, thank you , thank you!! I watched tons of videos on this subject and yours was (by a landslide) the best!! Your video was easy to follow, to the point and perfect! My table looks like a million bucks!! Thank you so much!!

Excellent video! Thanks this was very helpful as I am about to replace the felt on my pool table. 👍

Very good job explaining this procedure. This cloth will be tight and perform well. The glue layer on the top of the slate is neccessary to properly hold the cloth in place and be as tight as possible. Once the rails are bolted down, the thin glue layer does not affect the billiard ball in any way. Good Job.

this gave me the confidence to do my own table, thank you

Thank you so much for this video. Did my own table and I couldn't be happier with the results. This video made it so easy. Appreciate you!

Thanks for this detailed information. I've added links to this video in my site

Great vid from everything on youtube, we choose your vid . We did the job today, the 22 minutes does not represent the real time it took us from 9am to 3pm. Not even done the rails. But the slate looks amazing was a 30 yo cloth burgundy we replaced with a simonis 860hr english green. United billard inc table. Cheers!

Hi, thanks for the great video, do you also have a video of re-doing the rails maybe?

Great job mate. Thanks for the education 🎱

Most excellent Video dude. I just pulled my slate up and its every bit of 400lbs. Spraying on the table top "EDGE" was perfect. And when the next guy goes to refelt it, he can just scrape off any little bit of glue. Adding the tape was under each pocket, really helps a Lot!! May I add, spraying the inside rails with a light coat rubber helps quiet the balls rolling down the rails to the landing station in front. Since that Spray Glue is very toxic to the lungs, I'll be wearing a quality mask. I don't want gluey lungs and I don't want the "Vid" either. Now.....Getting the Rubber off the rails will be another thing. Last guy must have used Monkey Snot to glue them down!!! Thanks again!

great video!! nice work!

You rock...Thank you for taking the time

was that 30 0z felt or your razor is dull -- i agree with folding it over and putting a little glue the bottom - then the fold and slate actually help keep the felt in place - the rails don't have much felt to hold on top -- ( may pucker up over some time) -- i like how easy you do the pockets

very helpful I followed step by step thank you worked a treat nice and easy

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you. At about 16:33, I thought you could have used that cardboard again... and then you did. I saw some glue shoot out. Good job, man.

Excellent tutorial.

Great video . I have the same pool table what size of felt and stable s did you use if you don't mind me asking

Man, that utility knife blade was DULL.

Very clear and simple I will do mine soon cheers

Very good job well done

Hi, great video. What's your opinion on using brush-on contact adhesive out of a tin, rather than the spray? Any major disadvantages? Also, what's the tape that you use under the middle pockets?

Nice video Thank you

Did you get that slate up on the boards by yourself to remove felt and apply new felt? It would have been nice to see how you did that.

cool pool

I’m thinking of getting a valley pool table. The entrance to my basement is not the biggest, I’m concerned if I’ll be able to get it down the stairs. Once you take the slate top off, do you know if you can disassemble the main frame without too much of a hassle

I always end up with green sticky fingers. Where can I get one of those rollers?

Brilliant

excellent

Loved it, but next time, try a lapel microphone, I can't hear you very well with my laptop turned up all the way

What did you use to get the excess glue residue off of the slate?

If you get glue on table, just wait to it dries and use duct tape to remove it

How long after reclothing til table can be used? Overnight or asap

What about the rails ?

How much is the replacement cost?

Hey how heavy would you say that piece of slate is ? It looked reasonably easy for you to prop up but when I Google the weights of the table I'm looking at it seems insanely heavy??

Would I be able to do this same process with wooden slate ?

Hi is it important to put glue on edge of cloth or will it stick without it

I have same table and want to also remove the 4 silver corner pocket guards, do you know how they come off?

I'm trying to get my tools ready for a disassembly; what size bolt is holding the rails to the frame?

gracias 😁

Thanks

how long you need to wait after spay glue

Hello can anyone give me some info about a valley table they go by a model number what is the model number i need to order rails

How can I len more sir

Nice❤

Which model table is it?

Y las bandas?

Have covered many pool tables in my time, why not use the old bedcloth over the new one, no chance of overspray then, the cue ball is not magnetic, it's smaller than the rest of them and is directed down a different route.

Why would you spray water on wool

Spray adhesive is extremely toxic to your lungs and you should always wear a quality mask, preferably with filters. I noticed Sweet Baby Trail lowering his face to get a good close finish. It's his lungs but I wouldn't do it that way at all as it's just plainly dangerous.

I’d use gorilla tape plus cut the fingers a litttle. Lots of glue under pockets.

Even dropping that slate just a little can destroy the slate. Use two to four people. Don't glue where he did on the top side under the rails. Not necessary. Just making the job harder for the next guy. You will get charged for it by a professional recovery guy. Other than that you did ok by yourself.

It looks like you didn't eat enough corn flake in the morning son

Hello everyone, first time seeing video. First thing, never spray glue on top of slate like this. Spray underneath. You also should not set your slate on table like this. I have been restoring tables for 20 years and this video is obviously done by an amateur that has not learned the right techniques. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Don’t mean to knock your method. But I’ve talked and help someone who refelts hundreds of tables. One of his biggest no no’s was that you never want glue on the playing surface side of the table. Only put glue on the under side of the slate

I'm sorry but practically everything about this video is wrong. The audio is useless and if you don't recover the cushions, you haven't recovered the table. Waaaaaay too much glue.
