I had to install some Simonis T blue 860 HR this week, totally different index? 1.5" was equal to my normal 2" index. Anyone finding the same ? Color was a lil off as well. The Blue Green I have been stretching is normal 2", but, it also feels different installing it as well. I hear things like: different looms making them?

It was a Diamond Project I had to finish up. 9' install and 7' recover. Guy is finally complete! Has 2 very nice tables.

My Diamond career is at its end so that I can focus more on my Brunswick restoration business. I really learned a lot over the years working with Diamond and now that all my loose ends are tied up with them: I have only good things to say about them.

Ray Brown has been one of the best sale rep's I have had in the business and I also know he is a friend of mine.

My client is super happy with both of his tables and is a very BLESSED MAN! Best of both worlds: Big table and small!

Where's the pictures of your staples, we all know how important that is... right? 🤣

On a side note, do you struggle with the plastic feather strips at the ends?

No staples on the Pro Am bed cloth. Both those tops were done at the factory. I have nothing to prove to "That guy". I enjoy posting my work an no struggles with the plastic feather strips. I prefer them to the wood ones, they work very nicely.

Since last August, I have found the stretch index to be incredibly inconsistent. Not just different colors, but different orders of the same color... I've been fortunate enough to get several cuts of Tournament Blue, since the flood. Every time, it's a new guess on the index.

I am happy with Champ Tour 30/30!!! They always have it in stock and its a great product. Index is almost twice as much, but, I know how to install it well. My advice to anyone new to it, the index does not lie: if you think it is loose, it likely is or will be. I index it at 3.75"
