Question

When installing felt on a pool table, how do you get the creases out.?

Answer 1

First of all use pool table cloth , not felt. If it is installed properly there should be no visible creases. Go to refelting.com and check out the procedure. Hope it helps you out.

Answer 2

Actually if you bought a Championship or Simonis Cloth, they have directions posted online about how to recloth the table properly.

Answer 3

With the rails off and the slate ready for felt, you should spray the edge and sides of the slate with 3M spray adhesive. Place the felt on the table with the additional felt hanging over the sides. Start at one end and rub the felt down smooth against the slate. Go to the other end and you can pull the felt toward you to make it taught. Do the same thing from side to side. The felt has some flexibility to stretch and take the wrinkles and creases out. When you're satisfied with the surface you can start putting the rail system back together. That's the best I can explain here.

Answer 4

You need to pull it tight and have it fit perfectly...I would never try it myeslf but use a professional to replace the cloth on my table.
