Move to the center of the opposite end of the table. With one hand, pull the cloth tightly toward you until
you have a 1-1/2" fold in the center of the cloth and with the other hand press it firmly into place. Pull the
sides of the cloth tightly toward their respective corners. Smooth and press firmly, always working from
center to corner.
Repeat this process on the sides of the table. Start from the center pocket on one side of the table and pull
toward you, taking up half of the fold from the center of the cloth. Smooth into place working from the
center out to the corner pockets. On the opposite side start from the center pocket and pull toward you,
taking up the remaining fold from the center of the cloth. Smooth into place working from the center out to
the corner pockets. The cloth should be smooth and tight. Using your scissors or box cutter, trim the cloth
until even with the bottom edge of the slate.
Carefully spray adhesive on the edge and underside of the pocket area. Also spray the underside of the
cloth with adhesive.
Cut 3 pie shaped wedges in the cloth at the corner pocket cut outs. Fold cloth down and under to wrap
cut out edges. Cut 5 pie shaped wedges in the cloth at the side pocket cut outs. Fold cloth down and
under to wrap cut out edges.
Be very careful to not cut past the table’s top edge and into the playing surface when cutting
the wedges.
