Recovering pool tables can indeed be a complex task, especially considering the variations among different tables. Selecting the appropriate rail cushions is a crucial aspect of this process, as they are available in various profile shapes. It is essential to choose the correct rail cushions to ensure that the balls strike the rail at the proper point, which is typically 1.43 inches in height.

During installation, it is important to adhere the cushion to the rail with the notched side facing against the rail. This ensures a proper fit and alignment. The top canvass part of the cushion should be facing upwards from the table. This orientation facilitates a snug fit when covering the entire rail with the cloth, contributing to a smooth and even playing surface.

Take care to follow these guidelines during the installation process to ensure optimal performance and accuracy in your recovered pool table.
