High humidity cloth

[Poolhalljunkie]

Looking for suggestions on the best Cloth for a high humidity climate 75 - 100% RH, no A/C.

Also looking for new rails, and bed cloth for this Dynamo 8' bar box. I will have to do install because the table is at work, unless any mechanic friends of mine want to fly to Okinawa.

Table

That block of stone under the leg is a classic!
As for the rails and cloth that withstands high humidity...simonis860HR and ridgebackrails is your best bet. And keep the table covered when not in use.
Enjoy'

Any worsted cloth will be best. The woolen cloth seems to get more nap in high humidity

Titan brite

How does Titan Brite play compared to mercury ultra?

How does Titan Brite play compared to mercury ultra?

Titan Brite is just a color line of Titan cloth so it's Titan with a fancy name and will play slower then Ultra.

With your high RH situation I'd suggest to you the same as I did for JohnnyT who has an outdoor table in Florida -
3046 Backed Mercury Ultra which doesn't stretch and won't get loose if installed properly. This is the same
cloth many amusement operators use on their BB tables. Note that you would strip the backing off of the rail pieces.

In my opinion, Titan plays a little slower that Mercury Ultra. The Mercury Ultra is also available with a cotton backing and you can also get it Teflon treated. Valley Teflon Ultra is the same fabric as Mercury Ultra but bathed in Dupont Teflon before weaving. This process creates the only true liquid resistant fabric. It is available in Championship Green, Burgundy and Steel Gray only. It Is available with or without backing. I have installed the Valley Ultra in many humid locations and have had reasonably good results. In commercial applications I use the backed cloth (wears a little better but plays perhaps just slightly slower) in home applications that do not get as much traffic I prefer the unbacked.
