I had a GC3 set up and covered less than a year ago. The installer used plaster on the seems instead of Beeswax. Being the first table I have had covered I let him do it. But now less than a year later the seem has raised what can i do about it short of recovering the table.?

I can call the guy back but he screwed it up in the first place and is not likely to come back and fix it.

What do you guys think about unstapling the cloth anf fixing the seems?

Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful

You can reuse the cloth - just be careful removing it.
Once you have the slates reset/reseamed and recovered you should be fine.
Suggest you superglue the slate seams to keep them from popping in the future.
 
Strip it, pull it, and get his butt to fix it!
And relevel, of course....
Hope he answers his phone:thumbup:
 
I called him and his number is out of service. Murphys law

One of my friends was a room owner for a long time I'm sure We can figure out a solution. The cloth is so new I just hope we can reuse it . I'd hate to spend another $250 bucks on cloth

As I already said - you can reuse the cloth.
If it was trimmed you may need to glue it to the slate rather then staple it to the slate liner.

Maybe not te best thread to ask, but since it came out. From AskDaMech forum I learnt it's a good idea, but I was always wondering how you take the superglued slates apart when needed? It is easy to chip a piece of the slate I suppose since superglue has very strong grip. So how do you do that?
 
Score seam with a razor knife and then wedge a large flat head screwdriver between the slates where the wood backer is ie staples are usually pops right apart.
