Makes perfect sense; however, I think I have a solution - as I am making a table topper and not damaging the table I will be using this on is a primary concern, my work around is to staple/attache all of the coverings to the top of the table topper as opposed to wrapping it over the edge and stapling under the topper as is most common on home made tables. If I were to double layer the headliner foam and stretch it, along with the playing surface, and extend it to the very edge of the topper I could staple it in place. This would create a mostly uniform edge which I could then use to wrap the bottom vinyl and pad over and then staple down. I am planning to construct a conventional style rail and then attach it to the topper using velcro (two inch wide self sticking industrial velco which I will also staple.

I hope this makes sense. I think it will work.
