How To Refelt A Pool Table - Easy DIY

As a child, I was led to believe that if I spilled anything on the pool table or, god forbid, tore the felt with an errant, violent strike while trying to jump the cue ball unnecessarily over the 8 ball, the pool table would be ruined, and the cost to refelt the table would be so astronomically high that the very fabric of time and space would unravel. Clearly, I was misled. Recovering a pool table is one of the easier and cheaper tasks I’ve undertaken in my life, and, yeah, I would do it again. In this video we recover this old Valley coin-op table.

man o man... the number of people who have negative comments are crazy. I like "you might want to blah blah" but hate...no sense in that, anyhow, recovering my pool table right now and really appreciate your help. In fact I can already tell it's gonna look better than the last folks who did it (before I bought it) Thanks!!

Yeah I really like the gluing as opposed to staples Makes for a much neater job IMHO 🎉

@bennettaintinit3095 8 месяцев назад

i do a few things differently like i use 3m spray adhesive 90 guess cause its quick and no wait time once you spray you best be ready and i use my DeWalt oscillating tool for the glue instead of a scrapper and i don't glue my rails i just stretch and staple them I use to glue them back in the day but i had to replace a customers rails cause you could fell the glue under the felt in places and hopefully you dampened and stretched the h#ll out of the felt if not you will have to restretch it in a month or 2 when it starts to wrinkle up but everything else we do pretty much the same only thing i would of done if i was you would of been to order all new rails cause once they start coming undone they are shot an needs to be replaced but i do like the Texas longhorn orange felt

@myfriendscallmelee 9 месяцев назад

You guys did a great job! I love the orange felt. Are you located near Illinois? I’d love to have my table redone.

@retroactiveIifestyle 9 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! Sorry, we're nowhere near the Illinois.

@user-hk7xm5mm2v 8 месяцев назад

Wtf are you doing with spray adhesive? Tables should never be refelted using that stuff, it rings your padding surface and cushions.

@zman5970 Месяц назад

Good job..the pockets can be a beeotch with fast felt.. not very stretchy but looks good to me!

@sleepdeep305 3 месяца назад

How did you even buy the cloth from Joanne's? Don't they only sell it in yard long spools?

@retroactiveIifestyle 3 месяца назад

No, you can get fabric in widths up to 120" at JoAnn's. The material we bought was about 60".

@WilliamCurry-bh3dk 5 месяцев назад

HOW often do you replace the felt ?

@retroactiveIifestyle 5 месяцев назад

We replaced it with cheap fabric from JoAnn's when we got the table in 2019. It was outisde, but under cover, for a year. Then in 2021, we replaced the material again, and that's this video. I don't expect to replace it again anytime soon.

@MrTrashcan1 8 месяцев назад

My only suggestion would be to mention the name of products you use, if not leaving a link. So the felt, and the glue. It also wouldn't hurt to mention the make and model of the pool table. Obviously coin op, it's very cool. I know you're retro, but in 2023 it's perfectly fine to name brands. And also, I can't imagine why you would use a color like that. That's very hard on the eyes.

@bennettaintinit3095 8 месяцев назад

I can tell you why they went with the orange and that's cause its there table and care less what you think about the color of there felt and if you wasn't a noob to pool and actually played you would know exactly what the table is other than the color since 90% of all coin operated tables in the U.S. are valley tables

@toddrobertson1398 6 месяцев назад

Do not follow this instruction. It’s terrible. Plenty of pros on here that will show you that know what they are doing.

@retroactiveIifestyle 6 месяцев назад

Well, when we made this video two and half years ago, there weren't a lot of pros on here to show us what to do, so we had to figure it out on our own and this is what we came up with. And since all of the other videos on the subject were poorly made and consequently unhelpful, we made this one to help others who, like us, wanted to recover their own table, but aren't pretentious billiard snobs. Thanks so much for the support!
