Dust Under The Cloth

[DrCue'sProtege]

i noticed the other day when they took the old cloth off of my slate that there was quite a bit of dust on the slate. i was surprised there was that much.

just wondering if thats a possible cause of all the skids i encountered lately? and how do you get rid of that stuff? damp cloth? vacuum?

thoughts?

I use Quick Clean daily and I vacumn at least once a week. I use a vacumn with a revolving brush... the Dirt Devil Ultra. It works GREAT. I used it daily for 5 years but have cut back now that I have Quick Clean. I"ve never had a problem even though some will say to never use a vac w/a revolving brush. There was almost no dust or chalk dust under the cloth when Diamond came to put on the new rubber a couple years ago.

Don't use a vacumn if they put the table together with Bondo in the slate seams. It doesn't hurt if they used wax but auto body filler will crack and pull out of the seams.. or so I've been told.

That's my story.

Vacuum every six hours of play or more often if you use lots of chalk and talc. I think you need to pull the chalk out of the cloth and I'm not sure the liquid products can do that.

Chalk on the balls will cause skids, but I think the chalk under the cloth is a symptom of the main problem and not a direct cause. It's the chalk between the balls that's important.

Remember that chalk is mostly ground up sand.

VACUMN OFTEN.
