Refelting is the process of removing excess chalk from a pool table. It’s an important step in keeping your table clean and playing surface clear of built-up chalk. Refelting should be done after every game, or at least once a week. How often you refelt depends on the condition of your table, what type of pool you play, and your personal schedule.
