I have inherited an old card table (playing cards!).
It is a beautiful piece of furnitue but the green baize covering on the
table is in poor repair.
I want to replace it.
It looks like it is just a square of cloth 'stuck' onto the wood base.
But life is never that simple! Anyobe ever done this please?
Does the green cloth perchance come with a peel-off stickey back? Probably
not.
Glue?
Any advice on how to proceed much appreciated.

You can use PVA to glue wood to fabric over a large area but it needs
pressing down while it dries - and this will be quite slow.
The more expensive way is the sort of ammonia/latex glue like copydex.
Its essentially a contact adhesive.
You can use solvent contact adhesive but its a bit fierce and a bit lumpy.
Neither caustic soda nor car body filler are recommended. ;-)
