Adding table facings to a GC III

After searching and reading previous threads on the forum I cannot find an answer to this set of questions. Help would be appreciated.

I have a Gold Crown III and want to reduce the pockets myself. There is nothing wrong with the rails and I want to reduce the pocket openings from the factory shipped five inches with hard rubber pocket facings I recently purchased. Apparently adding these new facings will take the pockets down to the current WPA specifications.

Can I use contact cement to extend the rails with the pocket facings or is some other form of adhesive recommended?

Are a couple of 1/2" staples needed in each new facing to insure the new facing stays tight?

The table is more than 20 years old. I bought it new and it is not worth the time or effort to have the rails re-done by a professional.

Yes, you can use contact cement. You can staple them if you like but they dont have to be. If you do make sure they are counter sunk in the facing or they will show/wear thru the cloth.
