As you can see, when we removed the rail felt, the rubber bumpers were detached in several places. It was also pretty stiff and our recommendation was to replace the rail rubber.
The next hurdle was some poorly installed pocket liners. There were probably 50+ staples in each pocket and the original cloth was left completely unusable.
The next issue was the previous installer used Bondo on the seams and the slate screws. You can also see how one of the slate screw holes had a chunk of slate missing. This left a crater in the playing serface which needed to be filled.
We got out the bees wax, filled the seams and repaired the damage to the slate.
We finished up the table with new felt and took the rails to the shop for the new rubber. The assembly was completed a few days later.
