Hi Joshua,

I don't have much knowledge on the subject of paints but I think an oil based pain would be better.  Perhaps others will be able to help you more.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

Hi, Joshua

Have you by any chance already checked out Greg Letts's site (my number two site for all table tennis info, after PingSkills, of course!)?  He has a page on tables, with some useful looking links, here:-

Let us know how you get on with the whole table building project anyway, will you?  A lot of us have old tables that could do with restoring or repairing and it would be nice to benefit from your experiences.  :]

Good luck!
