Which markers are best to use on the white board side? I tried some Staples dry erase markers and they stained the board on the first use!

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

The liquid chalk markers work great for this board. I used them the whole school year. I also used the plastic covers because the chalk is not weather proof. They clean off easy with water, mild cleaner and a rag.

My white writes fine on our chalkboard.Use Dawn Power Dissolver (it's for gunked up pans and such). Works like a charm! I just did my chalk board with it and it's beautiful and easy to write on now! You should be able to get it at any grocery store or Wal-mart.

I use Chalk Ink wet wipe markers and they work well; you have to shake them up well first. Haven't tried any other type of pen, but plain chalk would work too if your words are small. The pen allows you to write smaller with the side of the tip.

chalk will not work on this board. you will need wet erase markers. But those work and clean up quite well.

Yes. I am a teacher, and I go through boxes of these every year. Like Tom said below, it depends on the surface you have. The main whiteboards we have on the wall are pretty good for up to a few days. Anything left on after that will have the custodians asking if you used a permanent marker. The Quartet board I got from OfficeMax won't wipe off without cleaner no matter how hard I pray. Our DrawIt wall works the best surprisingly, I leave things on it for months at a time and I don't need anything. The glass works well too, but you won't get the vivid color you get on the wall, which is the only things the students at the back can see the colors on. Yes.

I use them. It is easier to use water the get the liquid chalk off, rather than dry erase. But the board is essentially glass, so anything you could use on a window I would think could be used here.

Yes liquid chalk markers do work on this board! Neon & white show up best. Blue markers are the least effective (I found). Neon pink, neon orange, & white markers work best.

It is similar; however, I believe you will experience "ghosting" on this board. I would do a little research and buy the board designed for dry markers. It will probably save you a headache in the long run.

No. If it is not properly applied, it can be pushed out of shape when you erase over the top. The adhesive is good, though, so just apply some pressure along the line to make sure you have a good stick. It will not leave marks of its own, but you may want to take care if you are wiping a lot of dry erase from the board because it can leave residue along the edges of the tape. If that happens, you can take a damp (not wet) cloth and run it lightly down the seam where the residue is built up.

I wouldn't chance it. I have a lot of different types of markers. The ones that you want for a whiteboard are labeled DRY ERASE. It would seem something that is Washable would also work but I would not chance it and would stick with the DRY ERASE markers that are meant for whiteboards.

No we only use them in normal coloring books or on paper. I am not sure they would be good on a dry erase board.

I haven't used this board yet but find "Chalk Markers" at your local art store. "Bistro Chalk Marker" brand is my favorite.

The Green, Pink and Orange do show up on the black. I have had better success with wet erase markers on black boards.

I used chalk markers and no matter what I try, I cannot erase it completely. There is a ghost of all writing and windex did not work for me. I used serious elbow grease and it's not working.

I used the markers on a tray that I painted. As long as you don't want to use and re-use as a chalkboard, they should work great!
