Ummmm. I would call a local pool table place and have them send someone. It will probably cost a couple hundy though. You don't want to damage your table. Especially if it's a good one. After that middle slate is level then that might cause the wax and stuff to shift now causing a high spot or something. I could be wrong though. I just know I wouldn't want to screw up my Olhausen. Gameroom Gallery in Rancho is good and Pool Tables direct on Central south of the 10 is pretty good too.
I will call a shop out of the yellow pages, but if someone here dose it, I would rather give the biz to a fellow boater.
You can melt candle wax in the low spot, then level it off. That's the advice I got when I built mine. The hard part is putting the felt on.
my bad, didn't know there was a "LOW-SPOT" in the middleso technical, that pool game
So the guy dont want his balls piled up in the middle,cut him some slack.
yaaa, ballz in da middle no bueno, mine, they hang to da south ese' :skull:
Speakn of hanging on balls,I havent seen HH in here tonight!
1st off melting Wax on a table is a bad idea.. Wax is soft and eventually will get small dents in it from the balls slightly hopping and landing on it etc..
Most everyone that does really nice installations runs Bondo (like the car bondo) or something somewhat similar that's designed for slate.
For something like this your definately going to need someone to come out and to it professionally. It shouldn't cost much more then a couple of hundred bucks. Make sure they have a machinist level.
The better the "table mechanic" the more it's going to cost.
Incidentally.. I hate olhausens (to the guy that has one above) LOL..
Gold Crown IV or Diamond is the only way to go for a bitchen commercial grade table.
I've got a Murrey pro at home right now, but only becuase of financial reasons.. That focker is heading down the road in favor of a new diamond setup as soon as sales pick up consistently.

Agreed on wax=bad.
I would avoid Bondo unless you know that the table is going to stay there for many years. Otherwise, if you ever disassemble and reassemble, you have to grind/sand all of the bondo off.
I recommend Vitex...a white powdered floor leveling product (I use it under vinyl floors) because it would be much easier to remove later.
BTW, my last table was a 1 piece slate...what a beetch to move.

I know Brunswick is a good table too and the one your talking about is probably better than mine and I'm no pro either but aren't Olhausen's run in most of the tournaments. At least I don't have some cheap import.
