Hello everyone,

I am making some cornhole boards. The boards have a frame around them with a piece of plywood recessed into the frame. The frame is painted white and I used Evengrain waterbased stain for the plywood. I stained the plywood and then attached it to the frame. I then taped off the plywood to pain the frame (probably should have painted the frame first in retrospect). When I pulled the tape off of the plywood it pulled up some fibers as shown in the image:

I also made a boneheaded error by running my paint covered finger over the top of the plywood and put a nice little white smudge on it:

What's the best method to correct these? Can I lightly sand the whole plywood top and then reapply the stain? I cant really reapply the stain to the whole top as it would get on the white frame.

Thanks for your help.
