    Ball seems to jump or hop when coming off the rail

    i agree with the persons on the cushions being the problem, not the humidity factor. also possible that the back of the cushion is separating from the rail(wood) surface to which they are glued. and with that said, humidity may have played a part in weakening the glue between the rubber/wood...

    What is the best way to clean a blue shaft

    (will try the vinegar idea). ive been doing wood refinishing for years. first i use alcohol. followed by a fast drying acetone. however dont use the acetone if you are not going to apply a finish coat over the wood, as acetone will remove varnishs, laquers, and probably loosen polyurethanes etc...

    bondo or beeswax as an absolute novice i can say i found bondo to be simple to use. i watched the use of beeswax and didnt think there would be a problem if i ever wanted to use it. the bondo works well for many slate repair problems from my limited experience. you must be fairly quick...
