how do you take the board down to paint?

Unscrew the mounting caps. Remove the board. Remove the threaded studs and washers. Tape over the mounts that remain in the wall. Paint. Then remove tape and remount board. If you completely remove the mounts, you will need to re-drill holes and re-attach the mounts, so I would not recommend doing that.

Hi Richard! I say use regular stick chalk. Remember to treat the board first by lightly chalking over the whole board kind of like an etch-sketch.....using chalk lengthwise. This breaks the board surface in. Wipe that off and you're ready to go. Wet your chalk by placing it in water for a short time before you use. Hairspray lightly sprayed over your final demo will preserve it so it doesn't smudge. Hope that helps. Amy K.

The graphic on the bottom of the board, yes. The top graphic in the top of the board, perhaps not since it has spray on grip tape above it protecting it, maybe you can still do it. Hope this helped!

use plastic that will not scratch your paint and heat up the glue somehow, hairdryer maybe, and slowly pry off.

You move the board. It takes a lot of practice, so get some scrap wood to work on before. you use your good stuff. Make sure you have a smooth surface to work on. Home Depot has laminated 2 foot by 4 foot boards. That would be a good surface.

What kind of foam board? Usually a serrated knife works well for that, or scoring and breaking. I think this would just melt it and make a mess. Sorry!

Just place the lead under the eraser on top after removing the eraser. Once it is placed, click on the side button and the lead will come down. Works great!

Yes, just took mine down due to redecorating. Had no problems and the surface was painted paneling. Just a matter of time and effort getting edge and pull.

Sure you can paint it. It is mostly pressboard but it is all wood of some sort. I would recommend roughing it up with a really light sandpaper or wiping it down with TSP to give it some tooth for the paint to adhere to but then you should have no problem. Good luck!

You put the grip tape on yourself so I'm sure you could decide if you wanted to put something else or only cover a portion of the board. The board itself is wood.

You have to thin it down. I use a ratio of 1 part paint to 3 parts thinner.

Paint might work if you lightly sanded the surface to roughen it up so paint will have something to grab onto.

Hi Martha,A food grade mineral oil, or beeswax is sufficient. Make sure you use a no lint cloth to apply, I use a Bounty paper towel, and heat the oil for penetration. I place my container of oil in hot tap water for a few minutes to warm. Apply then let sit for 20-30 minutes before wiping off, then washing, and drying your board. Season at least once a month.

Pretty sure you can paint over it. I haven't painted over mine because I still use it for its intended purpose, however, painting over this would be just like painting over a whiteboard. If you ever made the mistake of using a permanent marker on a whiteboard you know, it doesn't come off; paint should be the same.

Just flip it off gently starting in the middle. Use a piece of card stock. Do Not use a knife or screwdriver.

Make sure you have a good ground! You can't put it on a painted surface! Hope this helps.

Based on what it is attached to, would determine the best route that you can take with no/minimal damage to the wall.Tile - you can use a silicone remover (follow instructions and it'll basically peel off). You can try to gradually scrape it off from the top with a razor as well if you like, while pulling it away slowly.Painted Blue/Greenboard - It would be extremely difficult to remove without damaging the paint on the walls but you can try to use the same razor technique, but make sure you're cutting as close to the mirror and not the drywall. Good Luck
