Yesterday I picked up this table:
Which seems to be a custom built table. The quality isn't amazing, but it's not terrible either.
It does have 1 massive problem though. The gap between the rail and the felt is very loose. I noticed this once I sat down at it and started pitching cards. Some of the cards would slide right under the rail with just a regular pitch. After checking around the table I'm sure it would be possible to accidentally pitch cards under the rail completely, especially if they glided in sideways.
Here's some pictures of what I'm talking about:
Has anyone had this problem before? What is the best/easiest solution?
Would it be effective to just shove something underneath the rail all around the table like a piece of cardboard, a foam mat, or something else?
Should I use some sort of glue to connect the 2 better?
This wouldn't be such a problem if the opening didn't go so far back. Especially on the rounded parts of the table it would be very easy to lose a card under it and not be able to stick your fingers in the tiny gap. In fact it might be nice to use with those slide under cup holders so I might not want to remove it completely. But in it's current state the ease of losing cards is really bad.
I plan on using this table in a few days so I need some help with this, I know there are lots of good table builders on this forum so I was hoping someone would have some input.
