The cornhole game is currently among the fastest-growing ones worldwide. The two primary elements of this game are the cornhole board and your bag. Though the bag might last for decades with minimal damage, the cornhole board is prone to nicks and other forms of damage. A damaged cornhole board will not only affect its look and dampen the mood of your game but will also affect the sliding of your cornhole bag across it. It is hence imperative to protect your board from damage.

Customized cornhole wraps are the answer for the protection and aesthetic appearance of your board. These are vinyl pieces that are easy to apply and made from quality material that will not fray and leave your board prone to damage. The wraps are also affordable, and you can change them to suit various occasions and match the mood of your game. The following tidbits will help you get the perfect look for your cornhole board:

Wet Application Technique

This is the easiest application method for vinyl wraps on your cornhole board. You will mist the back of your wrap using soap and water before its application. When you pick the perfect location for your wrap, use a squeegee to get rid of air and water bubbles on the wrap before removing the backing tape. Though easy, wet application of your vinyl wrap might not guarantee a long-lasting adherence of the wrap to the board. It is hence the ideal choice if you will change your wrap frequently.

Dry Application Technique

Cornhole wraps are incredibly sticky. If you have picked the dry method, you should ensure you have the precise location on your board before applying the wrap. Measure and mark the board to ensure you have the right spot then carefully press down the wrap on one edge of your board and work your way slowly to the other end of the board. Some wraps come with an application tool to avert the formation of air bubbles during dry application. After the wrap is installed, you can paint the edge of your board using painter’s tape to hold the wrap in place.

Finishing Touches

You might not completely prevent the formation of air bubbles under your wrap. If you note air bubbles, you can get a pin and poke the bubble to let air out but the hole created should be inconspicuous. If you opted for the wet application technique, you could use a blow-dryer to get rid of excess moisture.

Polyurethane Coating

This option works for players aiming for a permanent wrap. You will apply a polyurethane finish layer in at least two coats and let it sufficiently dry before sanding it if need be. Other than protecting the graphics on your wrap, a polyurethane finish protects the wrap from damage from harsh weather elements.

With these tidbits, you are better placed to protect your cornhole board with a customized wrap. Remember that the wrap will only offer your desired look and board protection when sourced from the right supplier. Get yours from a supplier well-versed in cornhole products since the ones used for homes and cars might not work so well for cornhole boards.
