Not trying to hijack the thread as I think the question has been answered but I have one about glueing as well. I haven't been able to coax a mechanic to Omaha to tighten my 7' proam pockets and put new felt on it so I'm going to give it a shot. On to the question...
When using the glue method (or any really) to put on Simonis, how much slack do I leave for the side pockets, so the cloth will stretch enough when I make the slits. I've done a few tables but never seem to leave enough slack. I've seen the video but was wondering if there was a measurement. Like the slate opening is "X" inches wide, measure out an extra inch or two or three etc. Hope this makes sense.
