Breaking-in Cornhole Bags 3 Different Ways

- How to accelerate the break in process for new cornhole bags is the source of a lot of debate and controversy.
This video attempts a common sense approach to address some of the controversial risks, and minimize those risks using the knowledge of bag making.
This video is time stamped to help skip to desired sections while containing the information necessary to create an understanding of the methods involved.
Method one: using a dryer to break in cornhole bags with no heat to mimic soft throws thousands of times for 10 hours
Method two: using boiling water and hair conditioner to break in cornhole bags, followed by a hot cycle in the washing machine followed by a low heat tumble dry. This is the controversial method
Method there: using Sac Relax to break in cornhole bags followed by a soapless hot cycle in the washing machine followed by a low heat tumble dry. This is the new method to get the results of a condition using an all natural bag serum - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Great video. Thanks for the great information including risk involved. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope it helps 🤙 thank you for taking the time to leave a comment
Great video!! Great info on the process of making bags too.
I’m so glad you liked it! Thank you so much for talking the time to provide positive feedback and for watching my video!!
lol, "I'm not a Fabrictologist if that exists." haha. Great information on the video. Thanks!
Haha thank you so much! I should mention I am anti-conditioner now. The set mentioned in the video that had the residue was washed again, and no longer had a residue feel. During their first throw session, a white line appeared around the seams and then one popped. The coating properties of the conditioner (note: I’m no condotionerologist) reduces friction and it allowed the fabric to unweave and then it actually pulled through the seam (thread did not break). It turns out this is what conditioner is designed to do. So while I didn’t experience this on my other conditioner uses, and I’m sure many others have been safe as well, it is the intention of conditioner to coat. It’s designed to coat your hair, reduce friction to minimize/prevent knotting, and overall strengthen your hair. So basically it doesn’t sound like it’s intended to come off very easily and my seam unweave made so much sense to me, that conditioner is a very risky method. I hope that helps, good luck!!
I use the conditioner method. The key is to wash and rinse after the conditioner soak. I use Mane N' Tail conditioner. It doesn't leave residue.
What I do is a thorough rinse then I soak in water and dish soap for 30 minutes. Then rinse. Then in the dryer. Zero residue. A little more work but it costs me almost nothing and come out perfect.
my best suggestion for washing bags in the washing machine (either with or without soap &/or fabric softener) is use a second rinse cycle. based on your video, I can see that your washer has that option. I think that it really does allow more opportunity to get the product out.
Definitely a good idea 🤙 thank you
Any chance you have the MarlThrow in the blue/mild? It's more of a true blue color
I don’t have that already made but I believe I should be able to make that happen 🤙 want to shoot me a DM on FB messenger? (Hunter Richmond is my name), and if you could also shoot me a photo of the pack just so I don’t get it mixed up with one of their slightly different versions…. And I can get you fixed up. Thanks!

Great video. What does the ACL say about washing bags with Dawn, is this illegal??
Thank you so much!
Short answer: I would think so
Long answer: I don’t actually know. Their policy says “No foreign substances may be applied to the outside or inside of bags unless approved by the ACL.”. The owner of “sac relax” told me his product is acl approved, so if this is true than I would think the limitation is for things that could leave a residue (conditioner/fabric softener) or alter performance (fairy dust/magic spells). Dawn is used to help remove substances from the fabric after they’ve performed their relaxing, so my gut feeling is that dawn would be totally fine unless it was not thoroughly rinsed from the bag, as it would then have a residue.
Since making this video I have become 100% anti-conditioner. The set in this video I mentioned had a residue was rewashed and residue removed. They were new bags and developed a white line around the seam, then popped on the first day out. This was a result of conditioner coating the fabric (this is what it does to strengthen weak hair) and reduce friction (this is what it does to make hair feel softer and reduce knotting) And the fabric lost friction in its weave and it was actually able to pull apart. The white line was a result of fabric that was woven under and not being dyed by the sublimation process being pulled free and exposed and eventually enough came out that the seam failed.
I hope this super long unconfident answer helped a little haha. Thank you so much for watching!
Try washing the conditioner bags with a little Dawn and you should be able to remove the residue
Great call! I ended up washing them a second time with detergent and they’re fixed, but dawn would have probably done the job the first time. Thanks for the tip 🤙
You didn't try the blender method?!
Unfortunately I only had a food processor and it just went big enough 🤷🏼♂️
Is this using corn inside? or other? Thanks
This is a resin fill… for corn you would only want to throw to break in and avoid moisture
Make sure you use a conditioner with no silicone and no parabens. Then I wash with dawn to get the conditioner out
Great tip on the conditioner! Dang Parabens!!
O boy your girl is gonna be mad about that purple conditioner
Hahaha she wasn’t pleased. Since this videos creation I am now 100% anti-conditioner.
The set I mentioned that was left with a residue was washed again and the residue was gone. On my first time out, the fabric was able to pull loose unweaving and busting a seam. The coating conditioner does to reduce friction is not good for cornhole bags. It can definitely work well sometimes, but the risk is too high for me. I am however a fan of fabric softening now. It’s easy to do too much, but I wash with towels using soap and a half cap of unscented fabric softener. I haven’t had any issues yet and have some more sets than I had with conditioner. It doesn’t seam to work the same but results in a similarly great feel.
Thanks for watching 🤙
I use conditioner free of sulfate and chemicals soak in the conditioner. Rinse off with dawn then throw in the dryer. Never have residue. If you use a cheap conditioner on your bags like your hair. You get a cheap result
Nice! Good to know. After my wife’s fancy conditioner that left the residue I mentioned in the video burst a seam on my first day out with them, I’ve sworn it off for myself. I had even rewashed them and successfully removed the residue. I could see a white line develop around the entire bag’s seam where the fabric was unweaving. I read about conditions creating a coating around damaged hair to give it strength and allow it to heal. This coating decreases friction and apparently in the stuff I used was quite effective. The decision for me was easier now that I have the sac relax readily available for myself though haha
Sous vide them..
Throw the bags in a netted bag with about 15-20 dryer sheets let run in the dryer tumble no heat for as many hours as you want.. money everytime
Nice! Thank you
I just run a delicate cycle warm water with detergent and
Downy wrinkle guard has to be wrinkle guard extra rinse tumble low heat for about an hour and 15 minutes bags are money.
Nice! Thanks for sharing
I’ve done the same thing with Downey for several bags you don’t really need very much for either or run hot water in the sink put 1/3 of a cap Of Downy I let it sit for 20 minutes massage it for about 10 minutes rinse out really well towel dry after squeezing throw it in the dryer with no heat 45 minutes and then in about 10 minutes with low heat, that is good to go
I’m currently doing fabric softener too… however I’ve heard it has similar risks to conditioner so I will not be changing brands out of caution haha. I have found that you can use too much for this. 1/3 cap sounds great! I wash with soap and fabric softener to help get the softener off the bags, and I wash with towels. So far it’s been working pretty great too
