1. Required Tools

Before you begin wrapping your cornhole boards, it's essential to gather the necessary tools. Here are the three tools you'll need for this project:

1.1 Speed Ball Roller

A speed ball roller is a crucial tool for achieving a smooth and even application of the skin. You can find this tool on Amazon or eBay for around $20. Its old-school design makes it perfect for this task.

1.2 Sharp Knife

A sharp knife is essential for scoring the skin, removing the liner, and trimming the excess material. Choose a knife with a fine and sharp blade that allows for precise cuts.

1.3 Squeegee

A squeegee is used to press and smooth out the skin during the wrapping process. Look for a squeegee with a felt edge to prevent scratching the print. You can easily find these squeegees on eBay, specifically the 3M squeegees with felt.

2. Preparing the Skin for Wrapping

Before you start wrapping the cornhole boards, it's important to prepare the skin to ensure optimal placement and fit. Follow these steps for a smooth application:

2.1 Pre-Cut and Quarter-Inch Margin

To ensure proper alignment, you can pre-cut the skin to match the dimensions of your board. Leave a quarter-inch margin on all four sides for better placement and fit.

2.2 Aligning the Skin with the Board

Take the pre-cut skin and line it up with your cornhole board, ensuring that it covers the entire surface, including the 6-inch hole. Use your arm as a weight to keep the skin in place during the application process.

2.3 Peeling and Scoring the Skin

Peel off one corner of the skin, starting with the lower left if you are right-handed. Peel it back approximately four to five inches, exposing the adhesive side. Use your sharp knife to score the adhesive side, creating a starting point for the removal of the liner.

2.4 Removing the Liner and Attaching the Skin

Gently peel off the liner from the scored corner, gradually revealing the adhesive side of the skin. Take your card and use it to press the skin onto the board, starting from one corner and working your way in. Apply light pressure to ensure a secure bond between the skin and the board.
