Another thing you can do regularly to improve the looks of a used dart board is take a shoe brush and brush the playing surface. It knocks off a lot of the white specks, just make sure it’s a clean brush without shoe polish on it.
Clear sikcone my new dart board friend i brought decent dart board it lasted 6 to 7 weeks i then started using clear silicone and that dart board last 7 months pain doing repairs waiting on it drying but turned out cheeper in long run
I have at least ten year old AMF board that has always hung outside. It just gets sprayed once or twice a week with water that's has a few drops of all purpose cleaner in it. It's a little dingy but minimal bounce outs and has lost no sisal. Wish I could find another.
did this for years on my blade 4 and in fairness it still looks great although i dont shoot at it anymore...havent had a need to do it on my glad 3 yet. I did each section as I rotate away from it....note dont colour the red unless you're going to do all of them as the sharpie red is not even close to the red of the board and dont go nuts plucking the sisal or the section will be too loose with the added damage from use
Acrylic paint pens (waterbased).they cover pretty much any surface type.good job Jack..I've used sharpie b4 but I just like paint pens better .luv the channel. Keep up the good work
Well, I really don't mind the looks of an old board, it's the performance with more bounce outs and the Darts not sticking in the board as deeply as they're supposed to. I thought you were to deliver a solution to this, but the look really isn't hard to fix... Still enjoy your content though, keep it up!
thats more of a carpet dart board, normally the wood ones tend to do that, I have a board which I've had for atleast 5 years which is wood and they don't stick to the board, I think probably using a wood filler and painting it over is probably for the best, and the price for them is just insane really, so its probably best to just fix it yourself lol
Sisal is a natural fibre that comes from the sisal (agave) plant. It's not hair and never has been. Usually comes from warmer climate countries in south America and Africa.
My board's bull has worn out. Dart falls out of it quite often. Very annoying when I hit the bull but dart drops off. Thinking about to put some glue on it or something. Other parts are in good shape. Winmau Blade 5.
Nice tips. I just bought my first dart board from a charity shop and it looks like it's been in a pub or smoky place for years, the white bits are yellowed and darkened.. So any more tips welcome here!
I cut my finger while hanging a board. Got blood on the white sections. Trying to clean it just smudged and pushed it in deeper. Any idea's on how to refinish the white sections?
@@ryangatien6615 I haven't used anything. thats why I asked. You say acrylic latex works without breaking bristles I'll try. I got a new board when I bled all over the one. It's still in good shape. But the bloody one is brand new except blood stained sitting in the box. When the one I'm using wears out I'll give the acrylic latex a shot. I'm already not using it so even if I destroy it, it's no biggie. Thanks
With the sisal fibers that are sticking out here and there you shouldn't pluck them out. You should get a small torch lighter and quickly burn the sisal sticking out and quickly pat it off when burned off just incase you wouldn't want the whole hoard to catch fire.
Talk about set a challenge; I've got a 1978 Winmau board that I replaced 2 weeks ago with a blade 5. I sense I may run out of life restoring that, nevermind time left in quarantine! 🤣
Iv went threw 13 dartboards all lasting 2 to six weeks I play a game that centers around the 25 and bull I play this game with a fried about 12 hours a week after the 2 to six weeks the board bull area is utterly destroyed hence I bought 13 bours in abour a year any advise besides play a different game I iv used blade 5s 6 was destroyed in 3 days diamand boards and various ithers
Don't pull the white sisal out. Just burn them with a lighter. ps with a new board I will rotate every black/red segment then change to white/green. Takes an hour to get used to the change in colour but no problem. then switch back. Make your board last twice as long.

Sounds weird, but i kind of like to see how the board is getting older and older🙈😁 every Board looks different, when u play 6 months on it, or so... my Blade 5 already is damaged a bit🎯😂 still nice Idea👍 hope i can play u on Lidarts someday :) (Zitrone is my nick there)
Bit of a silly video imo I like most of your videos but this is just silly The board is still going to be warn and Torn it’s like the saying “you cant polish a turd”
there was no need to stretch the video 2 seconds over the 10 min mark... I do actually really enjoy your content for a while now, but i dont like youtubers who do that. I am sorry that i have to say that but I am just honest

Smart, stretching it out to 10:00.
I don’t know why people don’t like you doing that I mean you want to make money.
Because people doing slightly annoying things to make money isn’t admirable

Used a red Sharpie on my Blade 5 and it came out too dark. Wouldn't recommend.

we all know that..but its ok to call it hair when it sticks out ;)
🤔if it is hair maybe someone should shave it or try waxing it😂

Been doing this for ages on my pub board
hahahahhahah
Buy a new one ffs only £30 sure the darts team would spend that in 15 minutes
Joe Hill if that’s the case we would be buying one everyweek
How many sharpies does it takes for the whole board??
Around a week or so I checked in and he was almost on 12k now almost 14 keep up the great work jack
Will it colour the points black?
Nope, tested this at the end of the video

I use paint
@@ryangatien6615 You "have" done this? When the paint dries it doesn't make the bristles stiff and break off when you start using it?
@@fslater102 you have to use acrylic latex paint, not just any stuff from the store

@@fslater102 no problem. Happy darting!
I’ve had my dart board for 1 year and a few months and it’s all puffing out, and a wire has fallen out, guessing there’s no sorting it out
I wonder if a fabric dye would work wonders. After all, the dart board is made out of natural fibers.
With the sisal fibers that are sticking out here and there you shouldn't pluck them out.
You should get a small torch lighter and quickly burn the sisal sticking out and quickly pat it off when burned off just incase you wouldn't want the whole hoard to catch fire.
Exactly, pulling them out eventually barrels will be buried.
Best thing to use is kids washable paint or finger paints cos it's easy to get off the wires.

Dang and I just blow money on new boards every time. Interesting stuff mate!
You know isolation's taking its toll when you're playing colouring in with a dart board
You could say that about every video I've uploaded 😂
Suppose you can only colour your hair so often!

13 BOARDS IN ONE YEAR? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THROWING AT YOUR BOARDS? WOLVERINE CLAWS?
@@bart4209 normal darts m8 fa diamond boards too 5 blade and variius others all crap
When I rotate my dartboard, I rotate it so the 20 is on the green to get more value from the board.
blasphemy!
@@flyingiguana409 Financially Prudent is what I'd call it, but a mate of mine would say cheap.
i mean it doesnt actually improve anything other than the aesthetics of the board. But yeah cheers.
that actually is the point of this video is it
Run a lighter over it works a treat been doing it for years
That and black liquid shoepolish.
@@keeslissenberg2781 wut hmmm
@@bjrnhagen2853 Instead of a sharpie, fast way to blacken the black segments.

I just tried your lighter method. Worked brilliantly! Thankyou sir!
My eclipse Pro 2 is horrendous after getting it for Christmas, would love to forward you a picture of it 🤦♂️
Honestly it's soo...... Bad dude
I found that unicorn boards tend to cut up more than other brands. Even just after a few legs of the pros playing the twenty and treble section starts to deteriorate.
It's better to burn the white threads or whatever you call them with a lighter.
What about soaking it in water would that help the condition of the board?
No way
The sisal will swell and potentially pull away from the composite back board
Try some sandpaper to smooth it or something. Idk, fun to try
I don't have the patience for this. I'll just buy a new one.
The treble twenty doesn’t look worn or hit! Only joking...you’ve got a sub and like from me...
forced me to clean my glasses just to realize that wasn't the issue, it's still driving me nuts
Sounds weird, but i kind of like to see how the board is getting older and older🙈😁 every Board looks different, when u play 6 months on it, or so... my Blade 5 already is damaged a bit🎯😂 still nice Idea👍
hope i can play u on Lidarts someday :) (Zitrone is my nick there)
How long do those blade 5 boards last till you have to turn it lol???
I've had it a week and I think I'll probably turn it in about 2 weeks time
The fake blur your camera creates makes your videos look naff mate. It would look much better without that effect on.
Yeah I've actually started to get bored of it now, probs wont do it anymore!
I totally agree, at first i thought your camera was broken. Would be higher quality videos without the effect
Sisal is a plant grown in East Africa. Its pronounced Sai-sul. As in rhyming with Hi.
How about the white color?
Was sure u were going to say buy a new one 🙈🙈🙈
how about olive oil spray?
textile paint/fabric paint is much better
Sharpie and duct tape -the two tools I can’t do without. 😂
you got your hair cut....neat
why not take the wire off when doing it
What the hell was on that computer screen? 😂
My team viewer ID and password 😂
Good idea to hide it 😂😂
Do the full board and play a game of n01 on it
Why you reupload the video?
I had some stuff on my screen in the old video that I didn't want there 😂
The Darts Referee porn browser left open😂😂
Lol
@@irishmb7352 too far
It was worse than that 😂😂😂
Told you @dartsreferee 😂😂
It's grass grown in Africa..sisal
I have another way to tell you that it will look like new for longer. When you are alone at home and training, just turn it white on the 20th ✊👌🎯
Pdc approved? 😂
I used tippex on the white bits and the girlfriends nail-varnish on all the other bits. All I'm getting now is bounce-outs.
Too much work... I'll just buy another board for 50 to 75 dollars.
So much easier to just throw money at a situation like this.
I want to know what was on your screen!!😂
It was my team viewer ID 😂 fortunately my PC was off, I got home from work and reset my team viewer password and reuploaded the video
Good advice and good video might try it tbh 👍
WTF is wrong with all the blur
It's so annoying when youtubers stretch their videos to 10 minutes.

@@Rusco17 That can't happen these days due to social distancing. The Government will announce when that kind of thing can be re-introduced.
@@Rusco17 what do you mean?
3-4 months is not an old dartboard.
It's about 3-4 months old
Can i get your old dart board please?
do it all mate great vid
Great video and keep up the good work 👍
You never pick things out of the board except the darts. Never color you board with markers. Bad video
Cheers Derek
Waste of time
What is?
@@TheDartsReferee reading this :DDD
Only got a pink sharpie
Great video and keep up the good work 👍
