Some of my viewers have asked me how to determine if their pool table rubber is bad. In this video, I explain how you can tell and how to remove the rubber.To become a Patron of this channel and help to make more content like this possible, click on the link below:https://www.patreon.com/creativerestorations?fan_landing=trueDon't get bamboozled by false information given by shady pool table techs. A lot of the work they do and the products they provide can't be checked by the customer once installed. For instance, you pay to have all 6 rubbers replaced and they only replace the dead ones. You pay for a higher quality cloth and they replace it with lower quality. Be sure to check whatever you're paying for.I let my customers know what ALL of their options are; from least expensive (lower quality) to most expensive (higher quality). My customers choose what they want. And, that's EXACTLY what they get. Their cloth is opened in front of them so they can see the factory stickers sealing the cloth. Photos (or in some cases, videos) are taken of the rubber replacement process (so they can see that ALL of the rubber has been replaced). And, 90+% of the work that I do is done in the customer's home. Most watch everything I do and I encourage them to ask LOTS of questions!As always, THANKS for watching!!!If you feel this video was helpful and wish to make a contribution to the channel, you are welcome to send a PayPal donation to:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=R9XGEWZQJX8LALIKE, COMMENT, and......
