what kind of chalks can you use with this?

I just use regular chalkboard chalk: colored and white, also I've used sidewalk chalk. I haven't tried the liquid chalk pens, so I can't comment on those.

I use the liquid chalk pens...work really well and swipe off easily with no "dust" leftover. Regular, school-board chalk works too.

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

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

No, I don't think it will replace regular chalk. On the slate, it will probably never wipe off completely. The way I see it is the marker is more like concentrated chalk.

I have used Annie Sloan Chalk paint and my own version of DIY chalk paint (with plaster of paris) with perfect results. I use a mesh strainer every time I use this machine to make sure there are no particles that can clog the nozzle. I would not use the unsanded grout version in this machine. I have also used Rustoleum chalkboard paint with superior results--perfect finish.

The chalks can fit, but it's narrow. If I had to do it over - though the board is fine - I would have have bought one with a wider 'base' to hold chalk and eraser. I use a box next to it to help avoid the mess.

Yes you can, however, chalk is larger thus the letters become distorted. I have sharpened my colored chalk into a point but when you write a few letters you must keep sharpening. I just use paper to bring the chalk to a point. It comes with its own chalk writing implements and they work very well but it comes only in white.

I just used chalk from Walmart. I'd love to use chalk markers (I think that's what businesses use to make signs with lettering last so long) but didn't want to pay for them justt I use them once.

Yes you can the "Dry erase markers" are the ones for the magnetic board, and of course chalk on the other side.

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

Yes, you can use magnets on the whiteboard side, the chalkboard sue is not magnetic, there is a roll of paper you can pull down for crayons, painting etc. it's a very complete board but we found it to be very unsturdy and the legs on the whiteboard side have broken

I used a chalk marker so the chalk would wash away, however if you used a permanent marker I think the labels would be just fine.

There isn't a chalk holder - I think you could probably glue something to the back though.

I purchased the 5 Pound package of Calcium Carbonate by Raw Supply, for $10.47. It will make a lot of chalk paint! Plus, I figure I'll use some of it on the garden too, in the compost pile. I won't use it for health care though, since it isn't labeled "pure" (or w/USP symbol on it), so it could contain traces of lead or other toxic metals. Fine for chalk paint though!
