We can use this thread to communicate anything that would be good to be shared between us re. playing pool/One Pocket during this Covid-19 pandemic.
This is from the website of the Simonis billiard cloth company....some info for those with tables at home re. disinfecting the tables cloth >>>
SAFETY PLAY
Pool halls are opening up in the United States.
Keep things clean and use basic precautions:
- Wash your hands
- Don't touch your face.
- Keep your distance. 1 person at the table at a time.
- Balls can be wiped with +65% or higher alcohol and then re-polished.
- Hard surfaces can be wiped with +65% or higher alcohol.
While we cannot guarantee that the following procedure will render the cloth completely free of contamination, we can be certain that it will help:
- Using a spray bottle that can produce a fine mist, use 65% or higher alcohol (I have some 90%), mist this over the table so it lightly covers the cloth, not wet! Let it flash off (evaporate).
- Be certain that the cloth is not wet before you resume play. Wet cloth will develop holes quickly because of hydrostatic pressure breaking the threads.
It should only take a couple of minutes for the alcohol to evaporate. The higher the percentage of alcohol, the faster it will evaporate.
