  • Insert the laminate into the guides of a table saw. Cut the outlines for the existing pool table top.
  • Remove the table's old acrylic felt. Now sand the table's bed with coarse grit. Then fine gravel to eliminate bumps or bulges. Clean the sanding dust away.
  • Now apply a thin and even layer of contact cement to the back of the laminate & Let the laminate dry for 10 to 15 minutes until it becomes tacky.
  • Spread a thin and even layer of contact cement on the pool table’s surface.
  • Place dowel rods every couple of feet across the old table bed. Be careful not to push down on them. Lay the new laminate over the dowel rods. Now position the new laminate in the exact location where you want to glue it.
  • Remove residue. Heat and scrape up residual glue with a putty knife. You can use an adhesive solvent.
