Rico, thanks very much. I just made a set of boards based on your instructions/video. Overall, I can't thank you enough! I do, however, have a few minor recommendations for improvement for those considering making boards based on your video: Instead of folding the LED wires (which I found very difficult and I put a tiny nick in one and ruined the strand), I recommend drilling a 1/2 inch hole at each location where the fold would be. The LED strip can then go down in the hole, twist any way you need, and then back up in the correct/new direction. Also, I found that I had an extra 26 inches of LED strip at the end. So, I drilled a hole at the top center of the groove and put the extra 26 inches underneath so it will light up the bottom raised end of the board. I also added a built-in tape measure at one end of one of the boards. Lastly, I believe you used Alumilite Clear Slow which reacts (bubbles) to any moisture. Instead, use Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast (which is moisture tolerant).

Rico, I really enjoyed watching this video and from all the others I have viewed, I find yours to be the best build... with easiest to understand instructions. One thing I would like to ask and I am surprised that no one else has commented is the custom covers you made for the controllers and for the battery packs. As I am preparing to make this build myself, I would love to get custom cover like you made. I certainly don't have the equipment to make as you did, any chance to order just the 2 sets of covers from you, with my own info? Should be easy to ship anywhere.

Could you put some sort of sensor in the hole to make a specific pattern when a bag goes in the hole?

I had a super hard time getting the epoxy perfectly level in several mockups I tried. It was either slightly overfilled or slightly underfilled when dried. I ended up having to overfill and then sand the whole top down.

Wish u luck in your build!! Rico

I have watched several cornhole videos and this by far the most detailed and easy to follow. Great Job! I do have a couple of questions, 1. Did you cut the lights to length? I ask this because an article I read on RBGIC lights said they could not be cut. And 2. how much pigment did you use?

Hi Jim! Thank you for your kind words and your questions! Much appreciated. Yes.... I did cut my LED strip to length. There are cut marks on the strip that are spaced every 3 LEDs. If Im not mistaken, most all LED light strips can be cut to length as long as you cut them on the marked cut lines. I tried to weight the amount of pigment that i used on my scale however the pigment is so light that it did not register on the scale... so i poured the amount i used onto a table spoon...and it looked like it was a full table spoon maybe a little more, but even if you use a little more..it shouldn't matter. Hope this helps.

Hi balacapasa! Thanks for watching and thanks for asking the question! Since every resin has different cure times, the cure time is dependent on what resin you use. The resin are used in the video has a cure time of two hours. You can immediately start to remove the moles, after two hours. That is why I like this resin. However, you only have approximately 11 minutes of work time to do your pour, which can be stressful. Anyway, I hope this answers your question. I hope you have a great day and once again thanks, Rico.

Hi J.P Benoit... Thanks for taking the time to comment with your question. I guess you could, but that would mean the total thickness of the resin would be less. I wanted the thickness of the resin to be as thick as possible without routing though the 1/2 plywood, just to ensure that the resin would be as strong as possible. With bags constantly hitting the board i just thought a thicker resin would resist any type or breaking or cracking of the resin. All the resin LED boards that i have built int the pase were built with the thickness i mention in the video and have held up and have not cracked or broken. So hosestly...I think a thinner layer would work but not I have not tested it for durability. hope this helps... Rico

You can buy cheaper battery pack of course that will last for less time. But then that again is also on the user. Good luck and I hope you have luck with your build. Rico

Hi Jeff, Appreciate you watching the video and thanks for the question. The thing you you are asking about is not a heatgun..its a butane torch. The butane torch is used to pop the bubble that will surface to the top immediately after you pour the resin. The flame will pop all the surface bubble. You can use a heat gun, however sometime the force of the air is too high and will splash your resin. The flame from the torch is more gentle and will not disturb the resin in the channel. I hope this answers your questions...but yes...you will need some heat source to pop the surface bubbles. I hope you have a great day! Rico

Hi Nickolas! Thank you a lot for taking the time to comment and ask questions. I appreciate you! Yes... you will need 2 powers pack and 2 sets of LED lights. The power packs are rechargeable and will last the entire night! I love them. As far as the resin is concerned ...I can not recommend any other resin, since I have not used any other types of resin. I selected Aluminite because it cures to a workable state in 2 hours, however the down side is that I only have 12 mins of work time to get it poured. I also bought the gallon sizes which make the price higher. You might want to see if they have a half gallon size, that will lower the cost. I am sure there are other resins that will work, i just haven't done any homework to know what those are. Every resin comes with its set of rules of how to use. ie: pot life, cure time, proper pour temperature, ratios by volume or weight. Resin is a tough medium to use.. I have made a number of cornhole boards with Aluminite and have done an number of other smaller projects with Aluminite and it works for me. If you do find something else that is cheaper and works. Please let me know! Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for watching!! Rico

I did more tests with a NEW resin and it is bubbleless!! Unbelievable!! The new resin i am using is DEEP POUR 3:1 resin by MAS. It has a 3 hour work time and cures in 36 hours and the results are perfect compared to the other boards Ive made with the other resin. I will be posting the new video soon that explains the new resin and the new flat light ring that i am now using which eliminates a few of the routing steps. I purchased this resin on Amazon..i bought the gallon size which is probable enough for about 4 to 5 sets of boards. www.amazon.com/dp/B09YRWRWST?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 I will never use the first resin again...but thats why its important to test your resin first! You cant go wrong with Deep Pour 3:1 by MAS Hope you have a blessed day. Rico

Hello. I have a question about the Govee LED strips you used in this video. I am planning on following your pattern for installing the LED’s. I have looked at various Govee LED’s trying to understand their capabilities, this will be my first-time using LED strips. I would like to be able to have LED’s start from the top center of the boards travel down along both sides and meet in the circle. My question, what direction do the LED’s light up? Can the direction of the LED’s be changed with the remote or Govee app? Thanks Al

In the video, if you pause the video(around the 11 minute mark) where he's test fitting the lights and showing how to bend them around the corners, if you look there appears to be arrows printed on the strip. My guess is that's the direction the lights light up

@@jeffanderson8825 Hi Jeff, Thank you for for you question. I used small wooded wedges to adjust the boards before pouring the resin. If your boards are warped and you can get them level the resin may spill out onto the board. Once the resin dries..you will have to sand it off. Ive had to do that before and its a tough job to sand off the resin...i started with 60 grit sandpaper trying to not gouge the surface...once off you will have to sand the resin to about 600 grit get it glossy and shinny.

Hi RotaryFD, Thanks for the like and question. Yes, each board will need its own LED strip. Each LED strip comes with a controller that controls the strip. If you cut the strip the remaining LEDs that are left will have nothing to be powered or controlled with.. So yes you will need two LED strips of any type that you choose to buy. Hope you have a blessed day and good luck with your build! Rico

How many ounces of resin did you use on each board to fill in the LED channels? I see that you mixed together 11 oz in a cup on the first pass and 14 oz on the second. Did you have to mix more than one cup on each pass?

To save money do you think that you could do two layers of epoxy resin instead of casting resin or would that not work?

@ricohernandez2394

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Kenneth, thank you for your comment and question. Yes I am sure you could use epoxy resin instead of casting resin. The only reason I use casting resin is because that’s what I had in my workshop. And also I liked using this one because it dries in about two hours and is ready to use. On the downside, you only have about 10 to 11 minutes of pot life. So you have to work pretty quick.Other resins take hours if not days to dry. Each resin comes with its own set of intricacies. I plans on using a resin in the future that will give me a longer pot life.
