Dennis One more plug for Dartman, here is his website: http://www.poolfelt.com/index.html He even called me to give me some tips when I couldn't communicate clearly in written form what my problem was. SyracuseJohn

Dstone I am an amateur at this but refelted my table 6 months ago. I can tell you that Rick/ Dartman was very helpful in not only supplying all the necessary components for my job at a fair price but also was very helpful with some of the details necessary to do it right. He slees cloth glue...

Thanks. Yes that does answer my question. John

I bet the customer was very happy he hired you Josh. The table looks great.. Thanks for the pictures now I see what everyone is talking about when they talk about Diamond's tables. After taking my Olehausen apart I can see some definite attention to detail that Diamond has that Olehausen is...

James I am no expert here but I would suggest that you post up some of the brand names that "are" available in Australia and then the guys here can possibly give you some assistance or opinions. Just my thoughts! John

Looks great Gary! How do you like those acu-fast cushions? John

Mechanic player Yes it was fun.. If any of you guys ever get to syracuse for a delivery or install and need an extra set of hands let me know. I am now an expert on taking them apart and pulling staples.... I'll leave the finish work to you but would be glad to be your gofer for the day...

I overdid the staples .. I know.. I probably didn't need the corner staples as they were blind stapled all the way around. I used 1/4 staples in the blind area and 1/2 inch on the ends for my peace of mind. Didn't think they were going to be visible in the corners of the leather.. now I...

LCCS I used 3m 10 and a 3" paint roller on the edges and the pockets. I ordered 1 quart and used only 1/2 of it for the cushion install and cloth install. Now I can use some of the leftovers to reglue the headliner in my boat this summer. I have tried spray glue on that before and it lets...

See now thats the difference between an amateur and a professional...lol attention to detail. I rolled the corner in slightly as I finished the pocket. I think that was more a matter of my stretch into the corner pocket than the overall table stretch. We did get it to stretch 2 -2 1/2"...

Rick The 2 rows of staples on the corners are a dead giveaway huh? Yes I did have some problem, Now I figure I have probably 24 hours of love labor into the job but it was worth it for me... I have the time right now and ALWAYS WANTED TO take it apart and put it back together. I will say...

One more picture of the finished product.

Thanks Jack, I must admit you prompted me to watch the video a few more times. I didn't have a problem working with the 3m10 for stretching the cloth. As a matter of fact the time period allowable for working with the contact is not bad for an amateur like me. It allowed me to pull and set...

Jack These are the vids I am referring to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arYF5YqgW7Q&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arYF5YqgW7Q&feature=related Thanks John

I got my cloth in and did my rails on Friday. First let me say I earned a whole new level of respect for you guys who do this for a living. It only took me 6 hours to do 6 rails at this rate I sure couldn't make a living doing this.. lol I have watched the you tube videos on the diamond...
