Cornhole Boards

if they are putting a poly overtop, i would recommend laminating, the surface of printed vinyl will be different between white and printed areas due to the ink sitting on top, a laminate will give you a nice uniform surface, plus make installation easier.
Issue is the added cost

I've never played cornhole, but the boards look to be about 2'x4', so an additional $2 per board to fix the issue you are having.
at the end of the day, the reason you are having issues is because a chemical in the poly is reacting with the ink, so you have 3 options:
1- separate the ink from the poly by using a laminate
2- find a different type/brand of clear coat to use that does not react with the ink
3- find a different ink type that doesn't react with the current poly
To me, the laminate option looks like the easiest, most hassle free option

What the heck ?? Is there an epidemic of non-use of laminate going around or is this industry just going to the frickin' dogs ??
That is two people within an hour of each other which cannot afford to do the job professionally.
Are there that many hacks joining this trade and cannot afford laminate or understand the issues of not using it ??

We don't even poly our cornhole sets, just laminate with cast or acrylic and they hold up well.

Sad that people are too cheap for lam. We laminate all the time unless wall vinyl or canvas prints.

is there a supplier that sales blank cornholes ready for vinyl?
we have tried making them but the shop is too small and gets dust everywhen when cutting
Do you have a door in your little shop ??

Then, turn the knob on the door of your choice, carry some saw horses out, put the boards on them and do your cutting. Most of the dust will probably blow away, but dust them off before you come back in the shop with them. No mess in the shop, huh ??
It's more then $2 a set when you're using 8518 and switching out lam you waste a foot or two so it is what it is

If you'd look up my joined date you'd see that i didn't just get into this trade this is how i was told it was being done and for the ebay "dog's" they are selling them at $30's a set and poly was pretty much in my eyes a liquid lam
