I know it says indoor use only, but has anyone tried this product for outdoor use? I'm wanting a large outdoor chalkboard for the backyard.

We used this paint on large wooden Christmas trees (we used the green chalkboard paint) where we wanted to change the message frequently. They have been outside in all kinds of weather - snow, rain, ice, sun for approximately 6 weeks for the past 3 years (during the Christmas season). No sign of having to repaint.

Chalk, it's a chalk board surface. I wouldn't try using markers or crayon on it.

Looks like the answer is yes...I googled so you might check out the chalkboards link or others there!

I think these are for indoor use only. I believe there is another version available for outdoor use.

My daughter is the mascot for her school. I used this on plexiglass as part of a prop. We used the full size & only had to trim millimeters off the edges with a blade. It handled very well. The prop has been tossed around by teenagers in all kinds of elements and has held up beautifully. I'm not sure about how it would hold up outdoors long-term. I can say I tried many other products & was most pleased with this product. It was easy to apply, had a smoother finish than any other (no bubbles), & has a true mirror finish you can see yourself in. Hope that helps!

It can air dry and be usable, however if you want it to be permanent and washable it has to be baked. There is better chalkboard paint products out there if your not trying to make it permanent on glass/metal/ceramic

I use a wet wipe to take it off a chalk board. I just tried it on a dry erase board and it wiped off.

I would not use it for outside.....Its really nice indoors but out side it will not last, it is true wall paper

Yes, it's actually better to use outdoors...we let our grandson use it inside on our wood laminate and I ended up having to mop and shine my floors because it left small scratches...lol....so it will remain outside...and we all rode it, we love it!

I don't think it would be durable enough outdoors. It never really hardens, but tends to dry out and degrade in weather. Birds and squirrels may pick it off. I would use a pour-able clear epoxy or something similar. Check with a hardware or paint store.

Yes- work very well on chalkboard paint as long as its indoors. These do not hold up to any kind of weather.

I believe it could be used outdoors...it's not s/s but the chrome-type surface should be resistant to short term deterioration with the possible exception of ocean coast areas. I've found it to be a great product for indoor use and intend to purchase several more for gifts...I may borrow your idea and hang one or two outside in the patio.

I don't know if you can or not on this chalkboard. I would be afraid to because I wouldn't want to see the chalkboard go to waste. Maybe call or email the actual maker of the chalkboard about this question. I would like to know myself. Word.

I'm sure it was not intended to be used outdoors; however, it is all plastic so it could be used outdoors. Just would be harder to keep track of the blocks and not sure how the little booklet on the side would hold up with moisture.

I don't have access to a chalkboard, but based on the name of the product, (Pentel PERMANENT Marker), I would say no. It does have a very fine point, and if you are considering putting something on a chalk bord permanently, it would not be easiiy readable from a variable distance based on size of writing.

I would say this is not waterproof. I just put water inside ours and it leaks right back out so I imagine if rain is hitting it, it would probably get your chalk wet. I also think it might rust over time.
