Wow. I'd better get these slates inside soon. Thanks!

I have the wood-backed slates for a Gold Crown in a cold garage, but the table is going in a temperature-controlled basement. Will there be an issue with expansion/contraction after setup?

Great. Thanks, Bob!

So soapstone comes out of the cloth easily? I was wondering what temporary options that come up easily there are for marking a rack. What do people use?

I got the nut free using a rubberized clamp, because the doubled nut moved almost as easily as a single nut. Now that the bolts and nuts are free to move I'm curious how the leg leveling is supposed to happen. There is a bolt without ends, a nut, the threaded foot, and a threaded sleeve that...

Ah.. doubling the nut! Great advice. Thanks!

I sprayed WD40 on them but one nut won't budge from midway on a bolt, and two bolts won't travel deep into the threads in the feet. How far do the nuts and bolts have to go during leveling? I don't want this to be an issue when I have the table set up. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing this. I really enjoyed watching Laaksonen play. I like his choices and he has a great rhythm to watch. I had no idea how he was going to deal with the end of the rack at 8:59:03, but what he did was nice. I don't think it ever would have occurred to me...

I never saw a table like that. Very nice. Thanks!

Thanks, Dennis. Yes, it's working now for me.

Looks like the stream is blocked from U.S. because of copyright issue?

After everything, I decided to just go ahead with the Aramith Tournament set. I suppose Aramith doesn't make a Duramith measle ball yet?

Thanks, K2kraze. Much appreciated!

It was just one bad review, but here is what he said: "I played these balls at last year's US Open and I think they are horrible. The balls themselves may be fine but the cue ball is no good, it feels too light. At the open on the second day the cue balls were changed out to the measle ball and...

Sure. Weights, consistency from ball to ball, is the cue ball good? I had read a review that the cue ball is a little off and should be replaced with a measle ball. Any other thoughts about the set? Is the Tournament Pro Cup Value Pack the better set?

Thanks. I'll probably try it before repainting. Sounds easy.

That's really great to know. The tourneys are the ones I was probably going to end up with if I went for an expensive set. If they're that durable maybe I'll just bite the bullet and go with them for everyone. K2Kraze, have you measured the aramith tournament set?

Great info. Thanks for being so obsessive! ;)

Thanks, pogmothoin. How long and how many applications did the aircraft remover take to strip off the paint? How did you apply it? Is it the one by Rustoleum?

Thank you! This is very interesting. So am I understanding correctly that the Crown Standards are lighter balls than the other Aramith sets, and replacement cueballs of better quality will be too heavy to properly match? If so, is this a good reason to avoid the Crown Standard set if I plan to...
