I had another idea last night Randy. While the fix-all will most likely work just fine and last for years, if you ever move the table, it may chip or crack. Fix-all sets up rigidly and will not flex. That being said, I think that a NON-sanded, latex fortified ceramic tile mortar may just be a better option. Or I should say, that is what I would use unless a professional installer had something better to use. The latex fortified mortars set up hard, adhere to anything, but at the same time, flex - in the event that you decide (or your better half decides) to move the table. A NON-sanded mortar will also be sand able and will spread very smoothly.
Good luck. I’m envious that you have the space for a table. I’d love to have an 8 footer in my home but have nowhere to put one where a miss-cue wouldn’t take out a window.

Thanks Mr. Drew I can tell you this much, I doubt we will ever move it again, but if we do, the slate is in 3 pieces anyway. It would be impossible to move the table in tact without taking it apart.

When my table was installed they did not use anything on the joints. I asked why not and he had me close my eyes and slide my hand across the joint. I really had to focus to feel anything. He did use very thin wedges under the table to make sure the slate came together perfectly. Once the felt was installed, I could not fine the joints. The imperfections in the felt was much greater than in the slate. If you don't want the joints you could always get a one piece slate and try and carry it in and put on your table. For an 8" table that would be approx. 900 lbs.

For an 8" table it would be about 6 lbs... for an 8' table, about 900 lbs.

However, I have heard that if a ball is rolling along the seam, versus across the seam, it can alter the balls path.

That's why I always shoot lengthwise.

That's just a draw shot, Medic... maybe the medication just makes you forget you were playing it.

Just wanted to show you all the finished product. It sits between the HT area and the bar.
