I am building my own BJ table and I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of paint to use for my designs on the felt. Any tips for how to make the paint smooth so as not to catch the cards when sliding across the table. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Unless you have access to a silkscreening fixture (and someone practiced at the process), I recommend that you purchase a pre-printed table layout.
I think the Gambler's Bookstore in Vegas carries them. I have seen them advertised in several places, and I am sure someone here can produce a link to a source.
I would agree that, unless you are an experienced silkscreener, you will likely not be satisfied with your handiwork. And if you are an experienced silkscreener, you would not be asking the question. :-)
Pre-printed table tops (and complete tables, for that matter) can be ordered from Gambler's General Store in Las Vegas. Link below.
If you are in Las Vegas, this is also a fun place to visit. They are located at 800 S. Main, about 8 blocks south of the Plaza Hotel.
