Part 1 of removing and replacing a Pool Table Rail Cushion / Bumper. I am not a pro at this. Just a guy that couldn't afford to pay a guy. Video shows how I did it.
Use barge cement all purpose. Coat both the rail and the bumper. LET BOTH SIDES DRY to the touch. Then carefully put the rail in place. Now this is optional, place the whole assembly on a surface that will not damage your wood. Like a sheet of crape or rubber. Use a rubber mallet and lightly hammer the length of the bumber. I used this cement in the shoe repair business on soles for 40yrs. Once your material is in place and fastened by this glue you will have a hell of a time removing it so go slow. This will bond crape, rubber, leather etc. Usually when you try to remove the soft materials will come apart before the bond. If this is the case use their thinner and go a little at a time to break the bond. You won't have to wait at all.
Here is a link to the exact kind of glue he used: www.amazon.com/dp/B0006MXRY8/ref=asc_df_B0006MXRY85345312/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B0006MXRY8&linkCode=df0&hvadid=192295118285&hvpos=1o4&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15317065616034822540&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9029892&hvtargid=pla-500492213912
I got a $2 fruit cutting knife. It has a mix of serated teeth and sharp edge along the blade. The profile of it made it very easy to cut 90% of rubber minimising sanding
