Spray, smooth, spray, smooth, repeat. I just did a quick search in Google using "what glue to refelt a pool table". Might be able to find more with a little digging.

Hope this helps ya buddy. Gonna be up your way for the holidays, I'll honk and wave as I pass by ya! :P

Sirscrapalot - Uses glue and spray adhesives in his wood working.

Yeah, I will stick with the spray for sure. I know Gorilla Glue will secure it, because if you make a teeny mistake, your screwed lol

Where you headed to?

Well, right now, I am not having a great deal of luck. I had a lady interested, but since it doesn't come with the balls, she isnt interested. It is in good shape, and I hate to take it to the dump. I found a ball set with some other stuff, thanks to a link from another SMF member on here, for under $40.

I am just trying to get in touch with my brother in law to ensure he thinks we can re felt it ourselves, by buying the adhesive that is needed. If so, I will still have this lady interested if I drop the price enough so she will have the cash to buy the balls from walmart.

Thanks for the tip on Contact Cement

That would tell me a lot. Is there a name on the table? I assume this had the leather pockets. Also is the slate backed by wood? If it comes to you can not sell it before I would haul it to the dump I would put it on Craigslist for free.

The slate is in 3 good size pices. Weighing in at maybe 150 to 200lbs. Definitely no more than that.

The pockets are a hard composite plastic (the kind where the ball falls in and stays there, until you take it out by hand).

The name on the table is Kasson (sent you a picture in response to your email)

I dont know what you mean by "is the slate backed by wood"....it was sitting on top of the wood used to support it and the legs, but there is no actual wood attached to it, except the parts that it screws into it.
