Well I would like to share some cushion replacement work I done this afternoon on a GoldenWest OS 8fter.

Original Cushions have turned to dirt.




Stripped them off the wood



The old glue came off pretty good with just using a razor as a scraper




All clean now and ready for new rubber

 
Sanded the facings to ensure a good glue bond



Cushions and facings glued on





Facings trimmed up and flushed to cushion







All ready to be covered with some tourney blue 860hr which will be during the table setup.





Table Setup and Cloth installation pictures coming soon!!
 
The cushions I used were a k-66 black cushion with J & J stamped on them. They look like a decent cushion. They have a nice backing and a nice control strip similar to the diamond black cushions. I will be using these for my generics on all future installs.

Looks good, be happy the old cushions came off as clean as they did.
Where did you find the cushions? I've only seen the black k66 in championship and I clicked on a advertisement banner on AZ for WS billiard supply, I looked around the site and seen a k66 black cushions they sold but with no description or pictures of the whole cushion. J&J cues,cases and cushions now.......Interesting.

Nice work

I dont install k66 cushions very often but when I do I prefer that J&J black now. I have used it a couple of time and am very happy.I'VE used another generic black cushion that is very similar also, I cant tell them apart except for the jnj stamp. The unknown is the longevity,wait and see.

kudos for nice work, all the mecchanics on here are doing their best work ever!!! Thanks Mark and Glen and others for teaching us younger people how to improve our work NOW!!!

Nice job Travis,
