How to Fix a Pool Table Ball Spot that is Peeling Off

How to Fix a Pool Table Ball Spot that is Peeling Off

How do you re-stick a pool table ball spot that is starting to come off?

I have inherited a pool table, and the old ball mark spot is now partially lifted (around the edges) and partially still sticking (in the middle) to the pool table.

What is the best way to re-stick pool table spots?

I'm afraid that if I remove or re-stick it improperly that the spot will not be even and there will be issues using the pool table.

    Best thing is usually to simply replace it.

    Don't try to re-glue it, as you don't want any extra glue under there taking it out of plane.

    To remove it, moisture can help loosen them further, but there is always the risk of ruining the cloth. You have to be super careful. Go slow and act gently.

    You can get packs of 12 Tefco Master Spots (the undisputed industry standard) for about $6 on Amazon.com.

    Thanks. I'll try to stop by over the weekend to take a photo and make sure I described the problem correctly.

    Yes, my biggest concern is the even-ness post removal / replacement due to not knowing what I'm doing. So I'm doing the 'research' and will be super-careful when I try to remove the old spot.

    Yeah. Honestly, if you can get it off cleanly, and the cloth underneath is in pretty good shape, it might be worth leaving them off.

    I personally find them to be more trouble than they're worth. The edges always start to lift no matter how well you set them on the pool table.

    Either way, I'll watch for your updated photos.
