    hats the Secret of getting rock hard off the top of slate screws?

    A propane torch. piece of cake... Heat the bondo by sweeping back and forth, it will smell a bit and start to "toast" using a blade scraper the bondo will slide right off. In your screw holes use small circular motions and a pick or awl and the bondo will come right out. Be careful not to set...

    Heated pool/billiard tables?

    Let me clarify further as to why pool tables are not usually heated, IMHO. First, their is the cost of the heating elements and thermostat. Second, the ratio of multi bank shots to directly pocketed balls does not warrant the additional costs and installation, particularly in normal to dry...

    Gold Crown IV, V replacement drop pockets

    Hey Guy's, Thanks for all the PM's and referrals to traditional suppliers. What I'm looking for is an off shore producer of the knock off of the GC 4 and 5 pockets. I can purchase them at wholesale from Brunswick directly, but I was hoping to find a cheaper bulk supplier of the item. Again...

    Heated pool/billiard tables?

    The primary reason that billiard (Carom) tables are heated is to keep the relative humidity of the playing surface very low. That allows the banking angles to remain "long". The one thing that three cushion players don't want is a table that banks short. By keeping the bed of the tables at...

    What rails would you recommend for this 60's era Valley?

    The old ones are all wood. The newer units are very flimsy by comparison.

    What rails would you recommend for this 60's era Valley?

    Ridge-back rails. Kerry will make them any size you need if the standard rails don't fit. They play great, I've been using them about a year now and wouldn't recommend any others. Jay

    Need Help With Thomas Aaron Rails.

    The removal tool wouldn't be any kind of solution to your problem. It could very well make it worse! Your problem is the excess finish (usually lacquer and stain mixed and sprayed together) sticking to the embedded feather strip. Use a new utility knife blade and run it back and forth between...

    Featherstrip Removal Tool

Pulling staples is the job I hate the most on any pool table, a tool which makes the job faster and easier is staying in my tool box. As far as feather strip pullers go, They aren't as necessary...
