I have a 7' Wolverine table that has buckets for pockets. I am planning on doing subrail extensions or shimming the pockets next time it comes apart, but I think the pockets would still accept balls too easily since the edge of the slate projects so far out onto the playing surface. Has anybody ever tried to (or heard of somebody trying to) extend the slate approximately 1/2" - 3/4" into the pockets before? My thought was to glue and clamp multiple layers of thin hardwood together about 1/8" below the surface of the slate, let that cure, and then epoxy over the wood to create a flush "extension" Am I nuts for thinking this might work?
I know... I know... I know the best thing to do is to buy another table with tighter pockets, but that is not in the cards right now. Thanks for any help/advise in advance.
