How can I speed up slow pool table felt?

Posted by admin
corndog asked:


I recently got a (used) pool table and it is in relatively good condition aside from scuffed (therefore slow and odd acting) felt. I am planning on re-felting it but would like to know if there is a short term solution until that time to make it more responsive.

      The table with fluffy cloth did this once on very short cut and shave the table with cloth surface if you need any more advice let me know.
      An iron same direction this may sound silly but take set of hair clippers put them on new table good brush again from baulk end when you do with fluffy cloth and give you have.

      Get a De-humidifier to shrink (tighten) the felt.
