    Bondo vs Wax

    I think that is because that blue "slate wax" isn't really wax. Its some sort of man made compound. The turpentine works well with natural bees wax.

    Bondo vs Wax

    Bondo is the way to go. Pretty fast to apply, and when the seams are set properly before and joined together, the Bondo makes the seam disappear. Wax has a problem with getting warm and making a small hump right over the top of the seam. After using Bondo I doubt your guy will want to go back...

    Diamond pocket question

    Yes that is possible. You may have to have the facings replaced, but that is not a big deal.

    Removing rail trim on GC III

    There are small pin nails on the underside of the rail holding the trim in place. Those all need to be dug out first then the trim will come out much easier.

    Ok to use polishing compound on dymondwood?

    The sand paper works great. Just have to gradually go down. These scratches and chunks were about 1/8 deep at the worst. I started with 80 grit and finished up with 1200 then polished with cleaner wax. Looks as good as new now. Before: After:

    Leveling a table frame

    How thick is the laser beam when it strikes the ruler? 1/8", 1/16", 1/32"?? Try raising a piece of slate 1/32" at one end and read with a real level and see how far the bubble moves.

    Two questions about slate

    If you want to get 1" boards, go to a REAL lumber yard or place that sells real hardwood. Get 4/4 (four quarter) poplar. You can either have it cut there, or if you have the tools to do it yourself. You will need to have it planed on both sides to the finished thickness (one inch) and then...

    Diamond Pocket Repair

    There are also these things called Hurricane Nuts. They are almost the same thing, but round on top. If you took the time to drill the hole in the plastic out to the right size, and counter sunk the top it might work better than the t-nuts. This is not the correct thread, but if you can find...

    Diamond Pocket Repair

    I know you asked about fixing them, but your best bet is going to be replacing them. I have tried to repair those just like this with the t-nut, and while it sorta works, it is not right. You will get the in print of the t-nut come through the leather on the top, and it is nearly impossible to...

    9' Diamond Pro-AM

    I have a few 9' Diamond Pro-AM tables for sale in Phoenix, AZ. They are on carts ready to go. I believe these tables were origionally used in the 2011 US Open 10-Ball Championship in Vegas. They have since lived in a pool room in Albuquerque, NM. The tables are in really good shape with...

    Making a table higher by several inches

    You can do what you said exactly. That is what I have done in the past, just not 5 or 6 inches. The one thing that you might find is that the table will look a little funny because you are going to see the tops of the pedestals and the spacer block. Another option might be to split the...

    Question on this Diamond Smart Table

    It could be a smart table with no coin door. Just reach in and pull the cable or set it to free play. Need a pic of the other long side of the table. Also a pic of the end rail top rail with the diamond logo. If it's blue it is newer red is older. But a serial number will tell for sure.

    Diamond Pro 9ft table, rail & pocket questions

    More than likely it is a "Pro Cut" table and has 4.5 inch corner pockets. Diamond tables have K55 cushions. A 9 footer from the factory comes with Artemis brand rubber. The slate does not determine "Pro" or "Pro-Am". Both tables, Professional and Pro-Am/Smart tables can have 1 or 3 piece...

    Side Pockets

    Its not a problem. I have those problems too when putting in the after market pockets on the old Gold Crowns. Just cut the bottom off the pocket and its no problem.

    Best way to level frame on Gold Crown I ?

    I like to put them between the top of the leg and the frame. If there isn't enough adjustment there, then under the feet. You can make the feet adjustable with out too much effort as well.

    Simonis 860 glue down method

    No home depot or lowes around here carries. I usually order it in 5 gallon buckets, so I am a little out of the loop for that. Maybe try a smaller specialty hardware store, auto upholstery place, or possibly a flooring company if you want to get it locally. It can be ordered online by the...
