I guess the worst thing is pulling all those staples.

Best tools to pull staples with is an awl and a pair of diagonal
cutters. Dont use the cutters to cut....grab the staple with the
cutters then roll the cutters instead of pulling.. Use the awl to pry
up the staple enough to get the cutters on it. Did this for 7 years.
Getting the cloth at the right tension comes with experience.

Jimmie,

This guy, Steve B, is asking this question in a Billiard/Pool
newsgroup where there are professionals that recover pool tables, that
have given him all the answers. Why he would ask here is beyond belief
unless he is very lonely old man.

Let me guess. Steve is old enough to know that all the answers are
not held by professionals. And sometimes, the procedures of the pros
will vary from the guy who is going to do a job once or twice in a
lifetime.

You're cranky enough-- but not old enough yet, apparently.g
