How to Build Cornhole Boards: Final Sanding and Polishing

As part of our Cornhole Board Walkthru, we find ourselves at the FINAL STEP of Cornhole Board production! Woohoo!

Join us here as we walk through that process, in detail, sanding the clear with some 220 and finally buffing it all out for a super shiny end result and a board that feels like you want it to! ;)

Hope you enjoy. And please subscribe to our channel to keep up with all our new and upcoming videos, events and products.

Have a blessed day!

Just made some Georgia boards for a customer hear in Mississippi. Thanks for the video. This is just the help I needed!

I use 00 steel wool to finish poly. It "cuts off" the imperfections rather than sanding then buff the finish with a waded up brown bag.

Thanks for sharing this! I finished my poly applications yesterday and while it seems nice and smooth I thought they could use just a little more slickness. I'm going to finish them tomorrow with some 400 grit sandpaper. That should do it! Go Dawgs!

Gorgeous boards! Go Dawgs! My friend built us some cornhole boards years ago and they've been sitting in the garage for a long time and we know we need to finish them. I have debated on painting on them or buying some skins. I'd rather paint something than buy something. Less cost and would mean more with a personal touch on it. I want one Georgia and one Ford. Found some red and blue cornhole bean bag sets at Aldi years ago and I said that's perfect. And they were the perfect price too. I haven't seen them since. Thanks again for your awesome videos. I think I will stay with painting them and finish our boards.

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. Your video assured me that I was doing what someone else would do as well. Your boards look great.

Thank you for the info, iv worked with poly but always go for a super gloss smooth surface and some things were saying 5-10 coats for cornhole? So your video is very helpful thank you

I got scared I put 5 coats of poly and sanded my wife airbrush butterfly board with 320 girt and it came out ruff and faded 😮 I wipe it down and still looked bad I put my next tote on it and it came out looking nice it my first time making something like this and using poly

[leafinitup]

Go Dawgs! Why didn’t you just coat the entire board with Poly… Over the painted surfaces too?

[kmwrites]

did you put on 2 coats of poly without sanding in-between before sanding for the 3rd coat?

[siierra]

If I don’t have a buffer, is there something I can use instead?

[AmyDavis]

What do you use as a clear coat on the boards? I bought a cornhole board and painted a design on it but not sure what to use for a clear coat on it.

[TheBigBossk]

what finish did you use? like matte, satin, semi gloss or gloss?

[LeskoBrandonx]

Georgia, Apple valley farms…. Ellijay?

[katieberman]

My dad put the two poly coats on and it bubbled. I tried sanding the side before starting and the color isn’t clear anymore. Is there anything I can do?

[markcatalano]

Nice boards 2 quick questions, 1. How many coats of poly? What brand polisher douse it’s nice and compact?

[michaelvogel]

What number grit sand paper did you use thru the process?

[michaellanderos]

Does it have to be an automatic buffer or can a hand buffer work the same efficiently

[opiatesmile]

Did you sand at all in between your first3 coats?

[Double__Dee]

I put that nu finish polish on my boards and now they seem to slick. Is there anything i can do to them to make the slickness go down? Bc my bags are just flying off the board

[donpalm]

I just bought a set of unfinished boards and someone told me to wet sand the final sanding. Whats your opinion on that
