does the chalk surface work or will chalk just slip across?

sorry, don't know the answer--I bought it for a gift and didn't try the chalkboard

Yes, it definitely works - we were all drawing on it and my son-in-law did a great picture of T-Rex!

Honestly, I haven't used it. I put big sheets of paper on that side because my 4 year old loves to paint. But it does look like an ok chalkboard. Nothing super high quality though.

This won't work At all....you need a permanent marker for that...try looking for a permanent chalk marker in white

liquid chalk will work good. I had regular chalk and it didnt write on it hardly at all, kinda dissapointing.

I can't be sure, as I didn't try, but I believe it would. I can't see why it wouldn't as long as the board were cleaned of chalk dust and dry.

I have the roll of chalkboard paper, and after I used it on my wood island, I wiped it off and put it on a tall cupboard . It's been there for weeks, and the adhesive is not showing any sign of lifting at all. To make it flat I use a rubber scraper from Pampered Chef - just happen to have that in a drawer and it was perfect for the job. Something to push out the air bubbles would be great. A fridge is actually perfect if it's just simple and flat-surfaced. I use regular chalk and it works great. Perfect idea!

No. Also the chaulkboard wears Very quickly with little use, and even with better chalk barely legible.

Hi Denise, Thanks for your great question. We would not recommend applying any chalk marker to a chalk painted surface, the reason being that paint is porous by design. This means that the surface has microscopic holes and ink will seep into the holes. We would recommend applying Chalk This Way chalkboard paper to your surface if making a chalkboard as it works brilliantly with our chalk markers. Regards, Paul Davidson Chalk This Way

We use on chalkboard painted menus. It wipes off fairly cleanly. Over time, a residue builds. If the surface is very shiny, you've got a good chance.

That is a mistake. It is definitely chalkboard on one side, dry erase on the other. This is a great product. All I had to do was buy a few Crayola washable dry erase crayons. Otherwise it was ready to use once assembled (which was also easy). Both kids use it daily.

I have used this product under ordinary acrylic paint and it worked well. I used two thick coats of the magnetic paint. I can't think why it would not work with chalkboard paint.

Chalk does work on this board, it must be traditional chalk, not "dustless" or "dust free" chalk. Those types have a coating or some type of binder in the chalk that makes them harder. We were able to get one of the dustless chalk sticks to work by "starting" it on a rough surface. It was like some kind of coating was rubbed off and it exposed the soft chalk.One brand that worked well was "Kids Art" from CVS Pharmacy $1.29 in a box of 20, indicates "merry brite" brand. I could not find that on Amazon when searching the name or the UPC.I agree with Kevin C, the marker that comes with the board is easier to use and cleans with water.

The mat's rubber surface isn't particularly slick and the mat is very heavy. I wouldn't think it too likely to slip.

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.

I bought the Crayon Chalk, & now I cannot get it to come off. Do not use that, use regular chalk.

Yes- this is a great product. Please make sure u clean the surface thoroughly before you put the chalkboard paper. Also you might want to use a light glue also so it sticks well. I think the adhesive on the chalkboard paper is weak. Hope this helps. Rosanne

yes, but not sure you are aware that once liquid is inside the glass, the chalk on the outside disappears. i returned them once i discovered that..

I would recommend any kind of childrens chalk, this actually acts just like a chalk board, it is simply fabric. Works well under the sewing machine, and is great for using on a wall framed for use as a chalk board. Hope this helps
