When I recover a pool table, I glue the cloth instead of stapling it because it creates a smoother surface, a tighter stretch, and zero puckers over time.

No loose edges, no bumps, no shortcuts—just clean lines and consistent play.

It’s a slower process, but it’s the difference between a table that looks good and one that actually plays right.

This is how professional pool table recovery is done.

Cleaner lines, faster play, true rolls—and suddenly every table feels alive again.

Worn cloth slows the game, throws shots off, and kills consistency.

A full recovery resets the room and brings every table back to playing the way it should.

This is why pool halls need regular service, not just new balls and chalk.

When the cloth is right, the whole room plays better.

When I’m recovering pool tables in a pool hall or someone’s home, I don’t just think about the table-

I think about the air too. 🎱

Using a HEPA air filter helps scrub the smell from the glue while I work, keeping the space cleaner and more comfortable for players, staff, and homeowners.

It’s a small detail most people never notice, but it matters.

Professional pool table service means respecting the room, not just fixing the table.

Years of chalk dust, drywall dust from a recent renovation all trapped grime hiding under the surface.

Fresh cloth isn’t just about looks — it’s about how the table plays, rolls, and lasts.

Old off, clean slate, done right.

Once the glue or staples go in, there’s no fixing shortcuts.

Cloth stretched wrong will wrinkle, slow down, and wear out way sooner than it should.

A proper stretch is all about even tension, the right order, and knowing when to stop-

not just pulling as hard as you can.

Get it right the first time, and the table stays fast, true, and smooth for years.

This is one of those steps you can’t redo…

and it shows in the play. 🎱

This is where it all starts.

Once the frame is set, I install the three-piece slate and make sure each section is perfectly aligned and level.

From there, I use Bondo (auto body filler) to adhere the slate seams together, turning three separate pieces into one solid, seamless playing surface.

No movement, no gaps, no future shifting- just a flat, true field that stays that way.

Only after the slate is locked in and dead level. does the cloth go on.

Because a perfect roll doesn’t start with felt- it starts right here. 🎱
