Good question Michael, I think it's fine to tape down the pitch. Some players even use thumb tacks to hold down the pitch if you don't want to use spray adhesive to stick it out.
glad it helped. FYI I use wallpaper paste to fix the pitch down now. Healthier than fumes from spray, plus the bond is much lighter and the pitch can be pulled up after if the board warps.
@@subbuteoman that's good to know, i've been building mine over the weekend. I have an older astroturf from the 90s i found in the loft but its got bubbles in the pitch so I might get a newer pitch... I seem to remmeber back then we used the hairdry to get the bubbles out to heat up the plastic backing a bit and you oculd push them out but that could be wrong it was. along time ago
Hi, I'm thinking of attempting to make a folding table for better storage. Out of the felt and astroturf which, if any, do you think would be best suited to being kept folded in half for long periods of time? Would glueing it down even allow me to fold? Any info would be great. Cheers.

Hi Paul;
When you paint the board, do you undercoat it first or just roll on some matt or gloss paint?
no undercoat, just roll on the paint chosen
Excellent new to the game and I will try this. I am so excited to get started. Great video :-) I am going to try to start a club in Norwich England.
Thanks this is super useful!

Can you tell me How can I get ASTROPITCH and a good set to start playing with. Thanks
have some video explaining how to put the play rug or how is the construction of the table. best regards
thank you for this great video. where can I buy the pitch? I can't seem to find anyplace online.
If you use the staples board, is it ok to tape down the pitch to the board or will it ruin the surface by stretching it like a cloth pitch.
Can i like nail the edges of the four corners so it can stay still in my gaming board prevent the folds on the pith??
6:15 that is a good idea! Thanks.
Are the goals stuck down?
Is your web site still up and running? Having trouble connecting.
What about plywood?
boston?
What do you mean "Boston?"
I heard about woodprix instructions good opinions.
I did it myself with the Stodoys plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.
