Has anyone tried making this into a magnetic chalkboard by using chalk paint over it?

Have not, but think it would work. Just need to prep surface & make paint will stick.

It's not 'chalkboard'. It's painted / coated with a satin, maybe semi-gloss finish. My daughter did purchase the kit to turn it into a chalkboard. My grandson will be 4 in Oct., I got this for his second Christmas. It's used to eat on, play on, drawer, paint, play-doh......everything a toddler can possibly think of. I's holding up pretty good!

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.

Yes! Chalkboard on one side. You can use washable crayons on the magnetic side. I use the white board cleaner on a white sock to clean the crayon off. (I used this in my classroom when I was teaching. You can buy it anywhere. It comes in a spray bottle.) It's a little hard for my 2 1/2 yr. old granddaughter to clean the board adequately. She isn't old enough to use the erase markers properly. But I love this easel.

The whole board is magnetic and it just comes with a 4x6 magnet that is dry erase. You may be able to write on the entire board, but I don't believe the board itself is dry erase.

I have not, but it is not very thick paper so it probably won't hold up for long if that's what your after.

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

Yes, but I would definitely use chalk paint to paint over it. Therefore no prep at all, I prefer Annie Sloan paint and seal with minwax paste wax.

To be honest, that's a silly question that's like asking if a magnet can hold a piece of paper to the fridge (provided the fridge was magnetic to begin with.) In any case the answer is yes. But beware of this paint, even though it's called STAINLESS steel, it actually stains the thing you're painting and makes it sort of steel colored.

You have the option of using the included "magnetic stickers" that are included with the item. You also have the option of using the included double-sided foam tape, as well as included single-sided tape/hanger. All are approximately one square inch. So yes, you may use the included magnets to adhere the board to a metal/magnetic surface. However, it should be noted that the board itself is NOT magnetic. Therefore, magnetic pens will NOT adhere to this board.

It is not dry erase friendly. I would not recommend the magnetic sheet that does not have the adhesive side. The kind that you have to use glue to adhere something to is terrible.

I am sorry, I have not used chalkboard fabric and do not know how it would work.

I have not. I have used it as a substrate for encaustic work. Good luck with your project.

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.

Yes, it works great on chalkboard. Very easy to write with, bright and looks defined. I used mild soap and water to remove an error, took a bit of scrubbing but came clean.

Unfortunately, I have not used it on a regular chalk board. I used it on a piece of wood that had been painted with chalk board paint. But I liked the way it worked very much. I liked the fact that I could make finer lines than with chunky chalk. Hope this helped.

Not sure. It is a shiney metal surface. Will your chalkboard paint stick to metal?
