I need some advice... What do you use to seal the slates together to get a flat table? I have been told bees wax, but I would think that would be too soft. Plus I have one small divit in the slate to fill in before the cover guy comes over to cover the bumpers and the table. So anyone have experience with this? Please!

+1. Wax is only usually used on the very fine seam between slabs on multi-piece slabs. To repair a divit, use plaster of paris, much as you would automotive body putty. Also, when using the bees wax, dont' melt it. Simply take the still hard chunck of bees wax and rub it into the seam. Once it's completely filled, then use a very straight putty knife or a razor knife to trim off the excess. ETA: Click here for a good place to buy billiard table supplies and cues at cheap prices.

Hi we have 8 ft table to and they used bees wax to make it smooth... it works great... |

I used bees wax on my table. Just get a torch and melt it in between the slates, once it dries use a strait blade to scrape it off. Worked great for me and it was my first time doing it. The plaster stuff works good but over time it will crack and you will have to do it again. |
