How To Refelt A 3 Piece Slate Pool Table

Refelting a 3 piece slate pool table is a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few hours. However, it is important to take your time and follow the instructions carefully to ensure that the job is done correctly. Here are the essential steps on how to refelt a 3 piece slate pool table:

1. Gather your materials. You will need the following materials to refelt a pool table:

New pool table felt
Scissors
A staple gun
A hammer
A chalk line
A level

2. Remove the old felt. Start by removing the old felt from the pool table. To do this, use a staple remover to remove the staples that are holding the felt in place. Once the staples have been removed, carefully peel the old felt off of the table.

3. Clean the table. Once the old felt has been removed, clean the table with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. This will help to ensure that the new felt will adhere properly to the table.

4. Measure and cut the new felt. Measure the length and width of the pool table, and then cut the new felt to size. Be sure to add a few inches to each side of the table to allow for overhang.

5. Position the felt on the table. Center the felt on the table, and then smooth it out so that there are no wrinkles or bubbles. Once the felt is in place, use a chalk line to mark the edges of the table.

6. Staple the felt in place. Starting at one corner of the table, staple the felt to the table using a staple gun. Space the staples about 1 inch apart, and be sure to pull the felt taut as you staple it. Continue stapling the felt around the entire perimeter of the table.

7. Trim the excess felt. Once the felt has been stapled in place, trim any excess felt around the edges of the table using a pair of scissors.

8. Level the table. Use a level to check the level of the pool table. If the table is not level, use a hammer to adjust the legs of the table until it is level.

9. Enjoy your new pool table! Once the table is level, you can start playing pool on your newly refelted pool table.
