Got a customer who wants a work bench made & covered in felt - like they
use in glass shops.

Any idea what it's called? Google is not my friend.

Think baize can be reasonably thick/.

To cover e.g. wood - chip or ply, use slightly thinned PVA brushed on
and then weight it all down overnight.

Copydex - the rubbery **** that stinks of ammonia - is the way to finish
the edges off.

You're right, various eBay sellers have "3mm Thick Acrylic Felt Baize"
which may fit the bill ...

I imagine baize to be rather thin & felt to be thicker? I'll have a
Google, ta.

I can only find baize for snooker tables etc, the stuff in glaziers is
grey & quite thick.

I'd have you publicly flogged for that, if you
hadn't enjoyed that so much the last time.
