Thank you for the instructional video. The company I purchased my wraps from said it wasn’t necessary to put on the acrylic (on the actual board or the wrap). I like how you did in the video and I will be doing it your way which make good sense to me. Thank you again!
You are correct. I don’t try to get that layer perfect clean. Once you apply the acrylic, it sounds down like glass every time. Thanks for the tip though!!!
Really enjoyed the video , Now I feel comfortable in starting my wraps I did get them done but have been very hesitant in doing them didn’t want to mess them up ! Thanks Great Instructional Video
I quit using the plastic squeegee. Started using a rubber roller. Zero scratches and can press harder. But I router the hole with a round over bit so it makes it difficult to cut it out clean
You do very well answering questions. I’ve been getting bubbles in my polyacrylic when it’s dry. How do I stop that from happening on my final coat so I don’t have to keep sanding them out?
Question! I ordered some cornhole boards off of Amazon, I was going to lay down wallpaper and then a vinyl decal over the top of that. What is the best process for me to do this and have it durable for outside etc
Enjoyed the video. I’m all about overkill but I regret using the spray adhesive. I attempted to spray the edges and I guess it came out clumpy. So all of that work sanding and smoothing out the poly was for nothing. I lost a whole wrap due to trying to fix it/smooth it out after I laid the vinyl out. Probably something that helps when you’ve been doing a lot of these
Hello, I followed your instructions and the boards came out great but two weeks later the wrap started to peel from one of the corners. Any suggestions what I could do at this point.
Great video. The boards I have were given to me painted (Miller Premium Enamel, Alkyd Enamel, white). We are installing vinyl wraps. A few questions: 1) should I sand it off completely or just smooth it out. 2) once smooth, should I apply another coat of the primer/paint or should I apply a coat of the Polycrylic, or ??. 3) Assume everything else with the install is the same from that point, starting with the spray adhesive...
Make sure the surface is smooth. You might throw a coat of white primer on it if the paint is darker (it could show through). A layer of polycrylic won't hurt
I just installed some wraps and put acrylic on them. The acrylic peeled off the next day. How long do you wait to sand after applying 1 coat on the vinyl?
It seems there are 2 camps out there. Those that say 1 to 2 coats are enough. The other says 5 to 10 coats. I my self don’t want my boards too slick. Im ready to apply wraps in a day or two. The back side of the wrap says ORAJET Rapid air. It is laminated. I’m not even sure if using a heat gun is required to apply these. I’d rather go two coats, sand then be finished. I’m using semi gloss Spar Urethane. Because it is semi gloss, I hope it doesn’t dull the look of the wrap. It’s made the paint on the sides of the board and the underside look glossy so I guess I can use it with no concerns.
Slighty unrelated, but I was hoping that you crafty ladies/gents might be able to help me or at least point me in the right direction. We are going to be using corn hole boards as our guest book at the wedding this Summer. I wanted something different, and at least this time, whenever we play we will remember the day. ANYWAY, the board is covered with a customized vinyl wrap with our last name on it. What would be the best to have guests sign with and still be able to seal after (and what would be the best seal that isn't going to degrade when sealer is applied) I thought black and or metalic sharpies, but wasn't sure how they would hold up under a seal coat. Then I thought OOOO A Paint pen, but then do i do water/oil based? I'm so confused
I currently have a raw wood board. Before I apply a wrap should I polyurethane to the top of the raw board to help protect it? OR will that action cause the wrap not to adhere properly? Thanks, Kurt
Is the squeegee I need one that has felt on one end? Also, is ther another lining step needed if the wrap already has a hole printed on the vinyl where it should be cut? (To ensure it lines up) Thank you for the wonderful and informative video!! :)
I like to use a felt lined squeegee if possible. It allows you to use a bit more pressure and lowers the risk of damage. I have personally scuffed a wrap or two over the years because of a squeegee not being lined. Yes! If you have a wrap with a hole printed, it does take some extra finesse. Do your best to line up the hole first and then make sure the wrap is square with the board as much as possible.
@@Gameondad6 Thank you so much! I was able to apply the wraps perfectly! They came without a hole printed so I was able to cut like you did. The wraps I received are laminated - can I apply something over these to help ensure they last/corners stay put?
Thanks for the great video. I was told to wait 30 days to allow for the sealant to cure before applying the wrap. What are your thoughts regarding that? Thansk
I'm not sure I entirely understand what you're asking with the "sealant". We recommend letting freshly printed wraps rest/air dry for 24 hours before applying them. The water based acrylic we use is dry in literal minutes. I suppose of you used an oil based sealant, it could take quite a bit longer.
@@Gameondad6 I just bought some for hole boards and then bought some wrap. The instructions told me to either let the wood cure for 30 days or to apply sealant like you used and let that cure for 30 days. If I didn’t do that, then the fumes or something like would cause the wrap to lift. Hope that makes sense.
Great vid, thanks. About to put my decal on, Don't Tread On Me and American Flag on my board. Going to do a 2A decal next. And remember to...Keep America 2A Strong...
I don't see how the finish can properly adhere to the shiny surface of the vinyl. As a professional woodworker & finisher, the poly would need a scuffed surface to bite and adhere. How long does it last before peeling off?
@@Gameondad6 That makes sense then. I've applied epoxy over vinyl decals on Fire Dept tables before so it's probably the same concept except the tables I build don't get used outdoors. How well does it hold up say 3,4,5yrs later? Probably not that big a deal since CH boards only sell for $200-$300 unless they're Luxury CH boards.
Really nice video. I would like to make my own vinyl. Do you know what and where I can purchase the machines/equipments to do so ? I am living out of the U. S. and it's going to be way too expensive with shipping and customs charges to be trying to buy them from a company in the U. S. for my business. Thanks
I would first check local to you. See if an existing sign shop has a printer for sale. That's how I started. My printer is a 63" ecosolvent CMYK printer. If you find a decent used one, you'll probably get started for $5-10k USD. New, double that. Rolan, mimaki, and Epson all make great stuff. There are several knock off Chinese printers out there on websites like AliExpress.
When I made this video, we didn't have the ability to laminate. We do now. If you get wraps that are laminated, you do NOT seal them once they are installed
We have several older craftsman power tools! You just can't beat them :). We no longer include a squeegee with the wraps. We ran into issues with availability and quality.
Hey new follower here love the video what type of printer do you use , if any ? I am new to this so forgive me but was wondering how to create graphics of my choice on to the vinyl and what size ? TIA
You are correct! We have started laminating them since this video. This is really intended for those who don't have lam or want to control the speed of their boards
The vinyl (laminated) gives you a very clean and consistent surface to play on. Painted surfaces will fluctuate more with climate/humidity change. The vinyl plays at a very nice speed.
I've done decals before, but never a wrap. So, at the risk of asking a potentially stupid question, can the wraps be replaced with a different wrap down the road? I thought I read that somewhere, but can't understand how that is possible if you're placing a coat of polycrylic on it.
This was a great tutorial. I have been finishing cornhole boards for less than one year and I am still refining my process. Do you use polycrylic on ALL of your vinyl wrapped boards?
Your vinyl is so flat and doesn’t roll up. How you you get so flat? And we are having trouble with our vinyl lifting on the edges. How do we stop that?
I'm not 100% sure what your conditions were when you applied the poly? but it usually happens when there is a higher humidity or rain? it's water based and moisture in the air cam do that. Once dried, not sure it can be removed????
I had a similar issue two weeks ago. I had a can of poly acrylic from over the winter time I used. The humidity made it very tough. You can try to do a light sanding with a relatively high grit and then try putting a thin layer of acrylic down again. Try to pick a day it’s not raining or you have a lot of ground water if you’re in a non climate controlled garage\shop. Also, make sure you’re stirring up that can of acrylic! It has a tendency to settle to the bottom on some brands.
I just the polycyclic almost exclusively right now. I like having control over the speed of the boards. This allows that. If you’re making a lot of boards for people who aren’t picky, you can use laminate.
David. I been doing wraps and boards since covid started . You can do either way . You don’t really need any poly with laminate. But for speed and to allow the bags to slide a little wax helps with that. I personally don’t like putting poly if it’s laminate since you can see the brush marks usually.
Where can I order the different designs of vinyl? Also any marketing suggestions? I also make custom silhouettes and added the words that I make cornhole boards but haven’t gotten a single request/order
It's mainly a matter of preference. Installing a wrap with over laminate on it is easier faster, but slightly more expensive. Laminated is also more consistent to play on
Any ideas on how to apply the vinyl on rounded corners? I make my boards with round corners vs sharp and always have trouble getting a smooth application without getting any creases. I also tuck my wrap around and under the edge to help avoid the wrap from peeling up
I didn’t have the best luck with wrapping the boards all the way around. My best advice if you prefer to wrap the entire face is to use contact cement on the back side to help the vinyl adhere and stick. As far as the rounded corners, you would likely have to use a heat gun and pull/stretch the vinyl over the corners the best you could. I had custom edge trimmers made to help me keep the wrap cleanly cut around the surface of the boards. Also, as long as you prep the surface properly, you should not have the edges pealing. Feel free to send me a pm on our facebook page for more detailed help
@@Gameondad6 thanks will do. I sometimes try to tuck the vinyl under the board vs flush cutting it. Just worried if I flush cut it might peel up later on. But I do prep well.
We've been using it for years with no complaints. Now, we also don't recommend leaving boards in the rain or out for long periods of time (days on end). You can definitely use an oil based urethane if you prefer, but the design will yellow/Amber over time.
We have landed on arlon 510MTX. It seems to be the best bang for the buck. I've used 3m, arlon, oracal, briteline, and a couple others. 3m is the Cadillac of vinyl for me, but it's big $$$.

Went on your website and I see many flag wraps that are not displayed / made correctly. When displaying the American flag vertically, the star field should be upper left. Some are correct but the ones that are not should be corrected to show respect. You have a lot of good products, please respect the American flag that's all I am asking...
We offer them by customer preference! You are 100% correct on the orientation of the union. We have some customers that prefer it on the upper right side. You can request either/or during ordering. When we started this, I actually reached out for advice on this from the local PD. If the image isn't a true and standard American flag, the orientation isn't required to be on the upper left.
@@Gameondad6 Thanks so much for the clarification. Wasn't giving you a hard time was just trying to bring it to your attention but it appears the proper research was done ! Kudos to you ! Good luck with all your future endeavors...Have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to future vids...
Good video but I have a bit of a problem with the actual design. The flag is backward (negative side of a print). Only active duty soldiers wear the flag in that position as a statement that they are returning home.
Incorrect. When the US Flag is hung vertically, that is how it should be displayed - with the union in the top left. But, since this is not an ACTUAL flag, it's a non issue.
@@davidshelp7116 I by default print this way, as I was taught it is the correct way if the flag is vertical. It is also by customer request. Thanks for showing you care though!
@@bassplayersyx A similar comment was made by Richard Mann, I thanked him for his comment, as I do you, and say thank you for the correction. We're always old enough to learn.
@@davidshelp7116 No problem. It's a relief that not everyone in the world gets offended by a correction. Thanks for taking it in stride. Yes, we all learn things every day as long as we keep an open mind.

Thank God someone finally put the union on the correct side!
I always put it top left unless the customer specifically requests it otherwise.

The paint store has a tack cloth to remove all dust particles. The brush & hand won’t clean all the dust off. FYI
You are correct. I don’t try to get that layer perfect clean. Once you apply the acrylic, it sounds down like glass every time. Thanks for the tip though!!!

You sound like you have a good game plan... That's also good vinyl!
Nice video. How would you finish a board that is only partially wrapped with just a decal in the center?
Polycrylic. Several layers, sanded in between
Blowing off with compressor works better than hand
How did you attach plywood to 2×4 frames
Look up a kreg jig. Absolute game changer for Cornhole boards
Can and/or should you put a sealer on the wood before you install the wrap
I use polycrylic to give the boards a sheen. It's more for the vinyl to have something to stick to
What is the spray your using before putting on vinyl? Live in Wisconsin don't want it to come off
It was medium strength contact cement, but we have switched to a higher end vinyl that doesn't require it anymore
Do you have to use the spray adhesive ?
What type of water sealer was that one gallon can and what kind of spray was that the adhesive
Water based polycrylic for the sealer.
The spray was a medium duty loctite adhesive contact cement

Hey new follower here love the video what type of printer do you use , if any ? I am new to this so forgive me but was wondering how to create graphics of my choice on to the vinyl and what size ? TIA
My main printer is a 63" CMYK eco solvent printer. All my designing is done is adobe illustrator and Photoshop.
Why not use laminated wraps instead? They're more durable & no need for a clear coat, correct?
You are correct! We have started laminating them since this video. This is really intended for those who don't have lam or want to control the speed of their boards
is the vinyl very slick for the bags or about the same as if it were paint?
The vinyl (laminated) gives you a very clean and consistent surface to play on. Painted surfaces will fluctuate more with climate/humidity change. The vinyl plays at a very nice speed.

This was a great tutorial. I have been finishing cornhole boards for less than one year and I am still refining my process. Do you use polycrylic on ALL of your vinyl wrapped boards?
Yes. If the wrap isn't laminated, I apply at least one layer of water based gloss polycrylic to them.

great video! Do you find the wraps that don't need the heat gun hold up just as well?
Yes! I switched from vinyl that needed heated up to activate. I seldom have any issues with my vinyl.
I play a lot on TCL sanctioned boards. How do these compare speed wise with one coat of polyurethane? ACL boards have like 6 coats.

You might use a little heat and pressure. Hair dryer or heat gun will help
When I get the 220 grit for the end. It looks like it leaves scratches on the poly. Any idea?
You might step it down to 320. The ultimate goal is that the surface is smooth as butter and has a bit of sheen to it for the vinyl to stick.
@@Gameondad6 that's what I figured. Thank you for getting back to me.

As far as the rounded corners, you would likely have to use a heat gun and pull/stretch the vinyl over the corners the best you could. I had custom edge trimmers made to help me keep the wrap cleanly cut around the surface of the boards. Also, as long as you prep the surface properly, you should not have the edges pealing. Feel free to send me a pm on our facebook page for more detailed help
Heat not a lot just light heat until it will stretch without creases
@@treybrown6811 thanks I’ll give it a shot
@@Gameondad6 thanks will do. I sometimes try to tuck the vinyl under the board vs flush cutting it. Just worried if I flush cut it might peel up later on. But I do prep well.
Tucking your wrap on rounded corners IS your problem with creases. To stop the creases, square the corners up
Keep up the great videos 7
Where can I purchase the wrap?
www.gopdesign.com or email me at info@gopdesign.com
Bro, you could have sold that as a pride month original and made wicked bank...lol. But great vid. Thanks!
💪🏼
What is the cost for you to help with the design and print them?? Then ship to me?

New/update install video on laminated wraps and installing lights coming soon 👀
How do you get the polycrylic so smooth? Mine are always streaky. And I use foam brushes.
Just some gentle sanding… a couple times
were do you get your vinyl wraps from?
We make them in house
@@Gameondad6 what kind of machine do you have to do that and we’re are you located?
@@corytellier1830 63" large format eco solvent printer.
Thanks
What grit are you using after the poly? Too fine and it'd get clogged, too rough and you're leaving rough edges. Process looks solid!
In more humid climate... 320 by hand
I learned a lot, thanks. But if I owned it the triangle not lining up with the hole would drive me nuts
You're not wrong. It was off center about 1/8" of an inch. It does happen sometimes.

LIFE SAVER!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad I could help!
How doe this interior finish last in the elements? How well does it stick to the vinyl? I have seen this finish not hold up in exterior environment.
We've been using it for years with no complaints. Now, we also don't recommend leaving boards in the rain or out for long periods of time (days on end). You can definitely use an oil based urethane if you prefer, but the design will yellow/Amber over time.
What is a source for the wraps??
There is a link in the description 🤙
What vinyl do you find best to use?
We have landed on arlon 510MTX. It seems to be the best bang for the buck. I've used 3m, arlon, oracal, briteline, and a couple others. 3m is the Cadillac of vinyl for me, but it's big $$$.
@@Gameondad6 what does that run per roll? I have a 54” Roland printer.
@@Gameondad6 also do you have a fb page to follow?
@@malachicustoms5595 Game On Graphics & Cornhole on FB. The vinyl...around $160 a roll. I buy 54" rolls, but my printer is 63"
Where do you order your Wraps from? Great video thanks
We print out own wraps in house. Feel free to visit our website or our Facebook page to place an order
Is the wrap that you use (linked in your notes) $65 for a set or just a single wrap? Also, are the ones you used laminated or not?
$65 for a pair. $75 for a pair if you want them laminated (no polycyclic needed to seal them)
@@Gameondad6 TY
I thought a vinyl wrap does not need a coating on top ???
If it's been laminated, it doesn't.
Do you make your own rap, or do you get it from someone else
We make them all in house
Where do you source the vinyl prints?
We print our own vinyl in house!
I’ve never seen sanding before that didn’t create dust in the air
It definitely does. You need a filtration system to help
I did it wish I could show it!
Very nice tutorial! What type of vinyl are you using? I have a 54" ecosolvent printer and would love to make a set for personal use. :)
We switched to bright line gross vinyl. It’s been great, and cheaper than 3m or similar by a long shot.
@@bassplayersyx lol gross vinyl?? I think I'll pass 🤣
Are your wraps Cast Vinyl or Calendared? Awesome design and colors!
We use Oracal calendared
@@Gameondad6 Awesome 👌 👏

What finish polycrylic do you use, gloss, satin or high gloss?
Matte finish is preferred. It helps reduce that glare and hide defects
Thanks! I was about to ask that question.
Awesome
Do you laminate the vinyl before mounting?
I apply polycrylic by hand at the moment. We are working on a laminator.
Went on your website and I see many flag wraps that are not displayed / made correctly. When displaying the American flag vertically, the star field should be upper left. Some are correct but the ones that are not should be corrected to show respect. You have a lot of good products, please respect the American flag that's all I am asking...
We offer them by customer preference! You are 100% correct on the orientation of the union. We have some customers that prefer it on the upper right side. You can request either/or during ordering. When we started this, I actually reached out for advice on this from the local PD. If the image isn't a true and standard American flag, the orientation isn't required to be on the upper left.
@@Gameondad6 Thanks so much for the clarification. Wasn't giving you a hard time was just trying to bring it to your attention but it appears the proper research was done ! Kudos to you ! Good luck with all your future endeavors...Have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to future vids...
Good video but I have a bit of a problem with the actual design. The flag is backward (negative side of a print). Only active duty soldiers wear the flag in that position as a statement that they are returning home.
Incorrect. When the US Flag is hung vertically, that is how it should be displayed - with the union in the top left. But, since this is not an ACTUAL flag, it's a non issue.
@@richardmann2960 , Thank you for your correction. It's nice to know others care about how are flag is displayed.
@@davidshelp7116 I by default print this way, as I was taught it is the correct way if the flag is vertical. It is also by customer request. Thanks for showing you care though!
@@bassplayersyx A similar comment was made by Richard Mann, I thanked him for his comment, as I do you, and say thank you for the correction. We're always old enough to learn.
@@davidshelp7116 No problem. It's a relief that not everyone in the world gets offended by a correction. Thanks for taking it in stride. Yes, we all learn things every day as long as we keep an open mind.
Poor sound, can’t really hear what is being said.
We don't have a big studio or camera setup...just my headphones for audio. We are working on it. Thanks for the feedback
Yeah how does that make the board play? Must be slippery as fuck
It's a nice consistent surface actually. They are very playable for the average player.
Apple AirPods with an LG phone?
Actually, the main angle was shot on my iPad Air (AirPods connected to it). The second angle was shot on my lg v60 (with the dual screen attached)
Don’t let any manufacturer tell you that you HAVE to have their brand to make life work! Lg, Apple, Samsung, and Panasonic are all responsible for my garage lol
don't need too watch you sand
First time making a video like this. If you don’t want to watch it, skip forward a bit my friend :)
Then don't watch it, or do your own video. Goodness, people are rude and ugly for no reason whatsoever.
Good video if I didn’t have to watch you swallowing your saliva so much. Try getting rid of the cud when doing videos.
Not sure what you mean? I don't make a lot of videos, must just be a nervous thing. Not a "cud" user
@@bassplayersyx MY APOLOGIES . I am sure it is nervous making a video when just getting started. Sorry for being so rude.
