how to differentiate between rail rubber

[JMI]

I'm glad for you buddy, work must be hard to find in your area that you have to resort to bottom feeding to make a living, but to each their own I guess. I for one don't drive around the country with an inventory of pool tables just waiting to sell someone that needs a piece of shit replaced, but I do have work waiting on me in every city there is in this country, even in your backyard....so I must be doing something right

Look man I'm not trying to have a pissing contest with you about how you run your business nor was I trying to insinuate that you were doing something wrong I was simply throwing out a different opinion for the OP and as far as being hard to find work in my area it's quite the opposite!!
Good Grief!!

That's why I said you need to educate your customer about the situation with there table. (BEFORE REMOVING THE RAIL RUBBER) Then if they wish to proceed do the job. (if you are able)
I have 20+ years working on pool tables and I am fully aware of the "Pandora's box" this can open it just depends on each situation...and condition of the MDF at that time. If you can make the table look and play much better than it did before then I would do it. Then you have a satisfied customer that in the future will call you again when they are ready or able to upgrade not to mention all the referrals they may send your way in my book that's...NOT RIPPING SOMEONE OFF.
That's good honest service!!

Look, all I'm saying is that if I know the table is a piece of shit, I don't care if the owner says go ahead and work on it....I'll pay. I'm not touching it....not even for the chance of future work.
