Putty vs. Bondo vs. Beeswax
Glen, I thought you would get a kick out of this.........This is from one of our competitors website in regards to using Bondo.....
Putty vs. Bees wax –
Some inexperienced installers will use Bondo or Plaster of Paris for the slate seams, the problem is these hard compounds will crack under the felt leaving pebble-like bumps. This happens if the pool table has been stood on or bumped, it also can happen over time from settling. Also, slate seams can be cheated by using hard compounds because they are puttied on and sanded down, the seams will feel smooth but not necessarily level.
Bees wax is definitely the professionals choice for slate seams, it is flexible and pliable and cannot be cheated as your slate has to be perfectly level, 99% of the bees wax is scrapped off after melted. Also, the benefit is if your slate seems shift the bees wax will flex with them.
