3.0 out of 5 stars Almost a great product., September 14, 2007

By	Amanda Hamm "author of Tightening the Knot" (NC) - See all my reviews

This product is a fantastic idea. We have a section of wall under a kitchen counter about 4 by 5 feet that seemed like a great space for the kids to use for drawing. I considered a chalkboard paint, but figured that would result in chalk dust all over the floor. Dry erase seemed like a much better idea, but it doesn't work quite as well as I'd like.

First of all, it says it goes on just like regular paint, but it is very runny. It's like painting with whole milk. It recommends at least two coats and after seeing how thin it is I wanted to do as many as possible. The directions say to wait twenty minutes between coats and not to use it after it's been mixed for more than two hours. It took so long to do each coat that I barely managed to get four done. You are supposed to wait at least two days before writing on it. We waited almost four, but the marks did not come clean at all. It didn't erase at all with a dry eraser and only faded when I scrubbed it with a wet wipe.

After about a month, I still really liked the idea of a dry erase wall, but the kids' artwork was getting harder to make out with various layers still visible. I decided to buy another box and add more coats. I believe I got on at least four more and we waited another several days. We've been using the surface for a few weeks now and it is working pretty well, finally. It still doesn't erase quite as cleanly as the picture on the box would have you believe, but it's not bad if you're not picky.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE KIDS LOVE IT!, May 6, 2008

By	H. Kjar (Herriman, UT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This stuff is awesome! At first it was very runny trying to paint with it, until I realized I was using the wrong type of roller. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE TYPE OF ROLLER IT SAYS TO USE ON THE BOX!!! (I forgot which kind it says to use) If you try to use the wrong roller, it will go on runny, thin, and not at all consistent. I did the first two coats like that and it looked horrible. Then I did a couple more coats with the right type of roller and it painted on perfectly!

I used a magnetic primer underneath this, so now I have a magnetic white board! (see my magnetic paint review) I actually did this in our basement, underneath the stairs (that most people use as a little toy room area). I used three boxes of this paint for that whole area. However, I know two would have been fine if I had used the right brush at first.

I have had this finished for about 6 months now, and it still looks and works great. If it starts to look clouded up with markers (like all whiteboards do), I just use whiteboard spray cleaner and a paper towel on it. My kids, and all of the kids that come to our house LOVE drawing on our "walls."

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Item - Fun possibilities, June 12, 2008

By	Chris "Cinnamongrl" (CT, USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this item some months ago and I love it.

Not only did I 'whiteboard' a bunch of smaller interesting surfaces but I covered my entire interior front door. Now my fiance and I leave each other messages for when the other comes in or goes out, notes to self, to do lists, and greetings to our friends - who come and go from our house a lot when we're not available. We live in a 3 floor townhouse so being able to leave a note that I'm in the garage means people no longer stop by and sit in the living room waiting for someone to come around.

The only issue with a whiteboard made with this stuff is that is doesn't come TOTALLY clean all the time. Some markers interact with it badly. I find that regular EXPO dry erase work best - low odor or EXPO2 leave marks. Other reviewers had this problem as well...but I have a secret! ***Kaboom Shower, Tub & Tile Cleaner, 22 Oz gets it COMPLETELY clean.***
It hasn't seemed to compromise the integrity of the surface yet, but I am still on the watch. Kaboom tends to eat away at certain materials and I don't feel confident that that definitely isn't happening at all, so use at your own risk.

All in all, good product - GREAT IDEA!
