We have just completed two older type second hand table re-covers for two separate clients who live close by in Nottinghamshire
the first one was a small 6ft older 1970s type Superleague manufactured by HGM superleague of Hazel Grove.
the 6ft superleague before the re-cover
Cushions re-covered and slate stripped ready
Bed cloth glued on the slate and ready to be bonded together using contact adhesive , no spray on glue is used , we spread our glue on by hand using a glue comb .
that way the slate does not get overspray and balls run off lumps of overspray , always insist on contact adhesive applied by comb . it is the professional way of glueing cloth to slate .
I have had so many problems with people who have had other firms use spray on glue on slate beds , it is the most complained about problem .
The new cloth has now been bonded to the edge of the slate bed , the table is almost finished.
We always use Branded cloth , this table was re-covered in Burgundy red Strachan 777 pool cloth which has a mix of wool and man made fibre and a napped finish ,
and will require regular brushing and ironing to keep it’s speed and trueness of slate .
the Super league 6ft pool table has now been refurbished , our client has avery nice Log type cabin with very large Bar area and separate pool room to die for
The Red has something to do with the client being a Forest fan , and has been involved with local football at none league management and coaching level .
I like to do two tables per day local if possible , and this gives plenty of time to make sure the table has been re-covered and extra care
and attention to detail by allowing time to put right any problems . we never rush our re-covers on snooker or pool tables .
The next table we did this day was just up the road at Keyworth , a Riley Superleague 7×4 foot , to be recovered in Strachan 6811 pool cloth .
the table almost finished , in one of the best cloths available to the pool table re-covering trade .
Strachan 6811 tournament , has this trade mark logo on the underside on one edge .
Our retired client was very happy with the work carried out on his pool table .
