| Andy the cardician Inner circle A street named after my dad 3370 Posts | 0 I have finally finished the woodwork of my magic table. Being ready to glue the velvet on the board, I ask myself what glue would be most suitable for this job. Can anyone help me please? Thanks in advance. I am also still undecisive whether I should put a layer of soft sponge between the wood and the velvet. In that case, what glues should I use between the layers? Ah, so many questions . . . Thanks Andy | |||||||||
| Scott O. Inner circle Midwest 1141 Posts | 0 I made a table top a couple years back and used a spray adhesive to affix velvet to the top. It's been through a lot, and is still holding tight.

| jolyonjenkins Inner circle United Kingdom 1156 Posts | 0 I would (and just have) put some sponge or rubber down first. I used a cheap yoga mat. It makes everything a lot easier, but even so the velvet isn't really soft enough. It's OK for most things but for the chop cup I need an extra layer to muffle the sound. | |||||||||
| Bryan Gilles Inner circle Northern California 1729 Posts | 0 On the tables I've made, I generally put two layers of felt down. This cushions the table just enough to pull off various coin steals and keeps your loads from 'talking' when performing the cups.. For glue, I generally go with the 3M 77. It holds nicely and rarely have I had to worry about it bleeding through the materials. If you are going to frame the work surface, its probably not a bad idea to staple down the edges of the board (working surface) to keep the velvet and under-layers from pulling up should the glue ever lose it's hold.. With 3m 77, you probably won't have to worry about that though! Good luck! -Bryan Gilles Follow me on Twitter!Stalk me on FaceBook! <BR>Read my blogs on Wordpress! <BR>WWW.BRYANGILLES.COM | |||||||||

| Andy the cardician Inner circle A street named after my dad 3370 Posts | 0 One more question please . . . do you also use the 3M glue to glue the velvet to the sponge layer? Thanks Andy | |||||||||
| kaytracy Inner circle Central California 1793 Posts | 0 You can use the 3-m to glue the foam to the velvet. In that case, a light coating on both surfaces, then put them together when they are just tacky. I suggest adhese those two things first, then put the item on the wood. For the wood, when you spray that surface, allow to dry, then take a blow dryer, or carefully use a heat gun to heat the glue surface until it looks bubbly and blistered. Then apply the other surface to be glued. Apply pressure, rolling pin, several large heavy books, etc. for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Just as a reference point, test all the steps on scrap first. while the glue can be undone with the right solvent, the foam and fabric may not hold up to it. k | |||||||||

| wa-na-be Veteran user 354 Posts | 0 Any of your 3M products are best, I believe that the 3M 77 is also used for upholstery. be sure to spray both surfaces and let it dry. It can be a one chance only sometimes so be sure to get it lined up before allowing the 2 surfaces to touch. If you get any folds or creases they will be there forever. Best thing is to take your time.. Chris | |||||||||

| Andy the cardician Inner circle A street named after my dad 3370 Posts | 0 Thanks a lot folks. My first notion was to glue the sponge to the board. But as someone pointed out, it seems to be better to glue the sponge to the velvet instead. Any rational behind that? Andy | |||||||||
| professorwhut Inner circle Posts R US sold me 1344 Posts | 0 I glue automobile 'headliner' foam to the wood with upholstery spray glue and then stretch and staple (on the backside) billiard table felt. I do not glue the felt. Billiard table felt is very heavy and does not sag. After much soul searching about a signature, I decided not to have one. TG Pop [aka ProfessorWhut] | |||||||||
| kaytracy Inner circle Central California 1793 Posts | 0 Depends on the fabric being used. Heavy fabrics being pulled and tacked do not usually need glue ups. light fabrics might. You original post asked about what glues to use. (hence all the glue info) If you are pulling the fabric and securing by tack or other glue on the back before insetting, then do as professorwhut says. The foam underneath is a personal preference for handling of items on the table, if you need the lift that the foam gives for the work you will be doing, then you will want the foam. (Do you use a foam close up pad now?) have you practiced with and without the foam cushion? kay | |||||||||
| silverking Inner circle 4586 Posts | 0 What folks describe as 'velvet' these days is most often velour, velvet being less common and more expensive. (velvet is woven, velour is knitted). Be aware that 90% of fabric suppliers calling a product 'velvet' are actually selling you velour. Velour is a terrible choice of fabric for a close up pad or table as it's designed to hang as curtains and not be touched or trod upon. (although there are some pretty awful velour track suits to be had!) Velvet, on the other hand is designed to be worn as an ultra-expensive clothing material, and its durability is much higher than velour. Dean Dill uses REAL velvet on his close up pads, which is a big part of why they sell for $100.00 and are considered the best you can buy. (along with the felt over hardboard underpinnings). | |||||||||
| DStachowiak Inner circle Baltimore, MD 2158 Posts | 0 When I built my poker table a few years ago, I used two layers of felt, no foam rubber, and I stretched the material to fit. I did not use any adhesive. The surface is very nice for both card playing and close up magic, and has stayed smooth and tight through a move and quite a bit of use. Woke up. Fell out of bed. Dragged a comb across m' head. | |||||||||

In order to host a perfect poker game you will need to invest in a good poker table. The kitchen table was great when you were practicing with the family, but now that you have regular guests coming to play poker it’s time to upgrade the accommodations. In order to select the right poker table for your game, there are several factors to take into consideration.
How Often is the Game?
If the game is once a month, you can get away with purchasing an inexpensive table topper or a table that collapses and is easily stored. However, if you are running a regular poker game more than one night a week you will likely want to invest in a quality poker table that can remain in a stationary place.
Poker sites that give free money to start. It wouldn't be easy to accomodate such a deals at online poker rooms. If you have played in real brick and mortar poker roomyou know that the drinks are free and you can get complimentsfor food in the casino buffet or coffee shop oreven hotel room. These poker rooms just want to show their poker players how theyappreciate them. Inreturn the poker players play at poker room and comeback again.
Number of Players
How many players frequent your poker game? Ten or less, and one table will suffice; however, if you expect 18 or more players you will obviously need to purchase an additional table. If you are planning on running multi-table tournaments you will need several tables and cost will be a big factor in your decision making.
Blue Velvet Fabric
Most tournaments are followed up with a live-action game. In this situation it is common to purchase one expensive, quality poker table for the live game and several inexpensive table toppers for the duration of the tournament.
Types of Poker Tables
There are several poker table options on the market today.
Roll Up Poker Table Toppers
These table toppers are typically blue with a rubber backing that sticks securely to any surface. The toppers are usually sized at 70’’x 35’’ and are conveniently water resistant. They can be placed on any oblong table and easily rolled up and stored when not in use. The toppers do have a tendency to curl up around the edges and not lay perfectly flat. They can be purchased online for approximately $45.
Velvet Fabric Sale
Folding Poker Table Toppers
These mass produced poker table toppers can be purchased at almost any chain store for less than $50. They typically come shaped like an octagon when opened up and sized at 48’’ they can fit 8 people. These toppers have a green felt in the middle and are plastic around the edges. Most include chip and/or drink holders for the players and come with a handy carrying case for easy storage. You can also order oval models that include a padded rail for a little higher price of around $90.
Purple Velvet Fabric
Collapsible Poker Table
These poker tables are used without the support of another table and can be set up as a self-standing poker table in any location. They are a bit smaller than a professional poker table, but you can fit 10 players at one table if you are passing the deal. If you are using a house dealer, you will likely prefer the table with only 9 player spots and a middle position for the dealer. With the padded armrests and a slightly padded felt top, these poker tables feel almost like a “real” poker table and can be purchased online ranging from $200 to $500.
Professional Poker Table
Professional poker tables are much more expensive than any of the above listed options. The quality is far superior and most will last a lifetime. The felt will wear over time, but can be replaced. These poker tables are usually sized at approximately 96’’x 48’’ and fit ten players and one dealer comfortably. The tables are set lower to the ground and are very sturdy. Many online sites will allow you to customize the look of the table to meet your specific needs. A basic table without add-on’s ranges in price from $2,000 to $6,000. The following options will add to the price: mahogany wood, a dealer tray, drink holders, a tip tray or rake slot.
Premium Professional Poker Table with Extra’s
If you really want to impress your poker friends or take your home game to the next level, consider investing in a table with a built in automatic card shuffler, lights around the rim or at each player spot, or lipstick camera’s. For a price of approximately $10,000 you can order the complete works and have a table ready for a televised tournament. Of course you can shop around for a good deal, but these tables come with a hefty price tag. But if you’ve got the cash and love poker, then why not!
Custom Poker Table Toppers
If you decide to splurge on a professional poker table, but hate that the table takes up wasted space, you can purchase a customized dining top. This custom topper will completely cover the poker table allowing you to use the table for other purposes without the risk of harming the felt. Many home games use the kitchen or dining room table, but with this your kitchen table can quite literally be your poker table. How cool is that?
Poker Table Felt
Velvet Fabric For Poker Table Sets
The main surface of a poker table is not actually covered in true felt, though that is what most people call it. Felt would not be a smooth surface to deal on, in fact, the material would damage easily and small little balls of lint would quickly cover the surface. There is a similar type material called velveteen found on lower end tables. The material predominately used is a speed cloth that is made mostly of polyester and olefin, though you can also find a nylon velvet speed cloth or crushed velvet. Both types of velvet cloth are very soft and a little cheaper, but the cards really do not slide as easily as on the patterned polyester speed cloth (seen in the picture). There is also a non-patterned speed cloth that is solid and smooth for those players who do not prefer the feel of the patterned cloth. The most common complaint of the solid speed cloth is the surface is so smooth that the cards sometimes fly off the table when dealt.
You can purchase speed cloth by the yard in an array of colors, but green is by far the most popular selection. The price is less than $20 per yard or you can purchase a full pre-sized piece to match the size of your table for about $40 – $60. If you are unable to decide which color or material to use for your table, order a sample packet, which is offered by most companies for less that $5 and includes a small swatch of each fabric.
Custom cloth is a unique way to advertise or decorate the face of your poker table. Any name, logo or picture can be printed directly onto the felt, but it comes at a charge ranging between $250 to $500. Pre-designed options such as a sports team or playing cards are a little less expensive. Complicated or multi-colored designs or large photos will be much higher in price.

Extra’s
There are a lot of factors to consider when ordering a poker table for your regular poker game. Once you select a poker table, you will want to find chairs that fit around your table and are comfortable for your guests. Some poker tables will offer matching chairs. In addition, small drink tables, like the one to the left, will not only make your players feel special, they will also protect against spills on your brand new table. These table can be purchased online for around $100 each, but you really only need to have a few on hand since players can share the tables. Table covers can be purchased for less than $50 and are a good investment for protecting your poker table from dirt and dust.
