Simonis cloth bubbled up in front of corner pocket

[ktrepal85]

Hi,

I had a table mechanic install the bed cloth on my table and a few weeks later the Simonis cloth lifted up some and caused a little bubble to form in front of one of the corner pockets. I have tried to get this guy to come back to fix it but he hasn't been returning any of my phone calls and I am ready to try to fix it myself.

The table is a 7' valley bar box and I already bought M-77 spray adhesive because originally I was going to attempt to install the cloth myself.

My plan to fix the bubble:

-Take off the rails
-Lift the slate up on 2x4's
-Unpeel the cloth in the corner
-Apply spray adhesive underneath the slate at the corner
-Let the adhesive dry for about 5 minutes
-Stretch the cloth and stick it to the adhesive
-Put the table back together

Is it really this simple?
Am I missing anything?

Thanks,
Kevin

Good plan if there is already spray 77 on there. Also grab some Gorilla tape and tape the fingers down after you have attached them underneath with the spray glue.

Use a good roll on contact glue next time and that will never happen.

If it is a new can of super 77 don't do it. It is more than likely why it popped in the first place. They changed the formula. I have had my last seven tables I did with super 77 poop loose. it starts at the pockets and goes from there. I just got done today re stretching two tables that i had previously done with super 77 and they popped loose. I am now using eastbound ten and it works way better. If you can't find eastbound 10 just get some sort of contact cement, and use it as directed.
