Can you re-install cloth?

[4.0x3.48]

I have a 9 ft. GC3. It had Simonis cloth installed for about 6 months, then the table was taken apart and moved. Is it possible to re-install the cloth?

If in good condition you can reinstall/restretch it. Mark it so you know how to orient it to the table.
Be careful restretching in the pockets.

I just reused cloth on mine.

It depends how the cloth was taken off when it was disassembled. If it wasn't taken off with a little care,you may not be able to reuse it.Otherwise,no problem.

Thanks for your help everyone. When I took the cloth off, I was as careful as I could be. I used a small blunt pin extractor to bend the staple out just enough to firmly grab it with pliers but not grab or pinch the cloth. Then I pulled the staples straight out. I think I spend more time removing staples than any other part of the disassembly. I hope the mechanic can use it, because new cloth isn't in my budget right now, and I wanna play! Thanks again everyone.

the cloth can be reused but if it was trimmed on the previous install it be a bit more difficult and the mech may need to use a cloth puller but not a big deal if the mech knows what he is doing.
