Paint

[Gen]

Idea paint is a whiteboard/dry erase paint

I kept thinking maybe I would paint part of likkelgen's room (wall) with chalkboard but ehh-wasn't quite in love with the potential dust from chalk

so get a whiteboard for the wall ? Sooo expensive for a little piece and then the "ghosting" (you know the shadows that the dry erase leave behind) thingy is not cool

and then I see this paint that you can put on walls voilà -instant white board and erase with a dry cloth

Re: Paint

I use clorox wipes on my whiteboard.

The office culture is all about whiteboards. If your white board is blank is like yuh nah do nutten a day time. When I moved into my current office, di board did grey and full of marks. I didn't think I could restore it, but the wipes did the trick. It took almost an entire container, now the board is like new.

Re: Paint

how bout just using CIL Smart Paint in eggshell, then you can affix a whiteboard. because im thinking,,if you allow the little one to use marker on the wall, she MIGHT be inclined to do it in say-the living room

How many times do you go over it? I think I used 3 wipes per 12 inch square to get it clean...and lots of elbow grease. It was a pain, but it worked.

Re: Paint

Yuh see what mi post up top cause if mi admit that the dry erase marker ghosts on the boards, why mi would willing to ghost up mi wall ?

If yuh was the inventor of said paint, would you bring it to market knowing that yuh wall gwine look like that ?

I am actually shocked at how the writings completely disappear when cleaned.

The inventors are college students who came up with the idea while runnig out of space on the traditional whiteboard in their dorm room

Interesting that it works. Whiteboards definitely cost more than they should.

I'm from a whiteboard office culture too. Between the plain old eraser which of course barely work unless you just wrote it and the cleaners made specifically for it which apparently just want you to buy a lot to get a little done, i had enough. I am all about 409 and paper towels. It gets the job done with almost no effort..
