How To Make An Old Dartboard Look Brand New! (EASY) Dartboard Refurbishment

[@MrLongboarder87]

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.

[@fredpaton3569]

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

[@impossibull9371]

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.

[@keir92]

Because people doing slightly annoying things to make money isn’t admirable

[@jamesmcintosh8082]

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.

[@joepatterson4255]

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

[@Lukas-ue7fy]

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!

[@flipcrafty]

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

[@whodey59]

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

[@aidenmckinnon]

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.

[@bjrnhagen2853]

we all know that..but its ok to call it hair when it sticks out ;)

[@brian7537]

🤔if it is hair maybe someone should shave it or try waxing it😂

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!

[@irishmb7352]

[@carlosgooglemaps94]

How many sharpies does it takes for the whole board??

[@timk2240]

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.

[@levimcglinchey5843]

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!

[@jasonc966]

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

[@Camrographer]

I wonder if a fabric dye would work wonders. After all, the dart board is made out of natural fibers.

[@zalym_]

Will it colour the points black?

[@TheDartsReferee]

Nope, tested this at the end of the video

[@jamieshannon9809]

When I rotate my dartboard, I rotate it so the 20 is on the green to get more value from the board.

[@johnlacambra6004]

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.

[@whycomes9562]

Exactly, pulling them out eventually barrels will be buried.

Dang and I just blow money on new boards every time. Interesting stuff mate!

[@FISHDINHO]

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.

[@cyclingSausage]

I just tried your lighter method. Worked brilliantly! Thankyou sir!

[@Liasos88]

It's better to burn the white threads or whatever you call them with a lighter.
