It is a dry erase board. However, it is a glass surface. I never used a permanent marker or a wet erase marker, so I really do not know. I would think, since it is glass, it would come off.

It says "Use gel markers for best results." Ours are still going strong, but I think gel markers are very different form dry erase markers.

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

You can use dry erase markers on them. To have it stay you would have to allow time for it to dry and even then you could probably wipe it off with little difficulty.

Expo dry erase markers with a wide tip work the best. Household sponges can be used to erase the board with or regular white board erasers. A soft cloth or a sock would also work to erase the boards. These boards don't have an edge or border, so if the boards are placed on a person's lap to write, the dry erase markers can easily get on clothing and leave a stain. Generic dry markers are more difficult to erase off of these boards and seem to leave smears on the board of the color of marker that was being used. The boards can also be cleaned periodically with white board spray cleaners.

You don't need to! Glass is a perfectly wonderful dry erase surface! Just write and erase. Be mindful that temps can cause it to be hard to erase- for example, in the heat of summer and the cold cold of winter, what I write on my windows sometimes needs some spray. But the one in our office, on an inside wall, is wonderful.

I also purchased (seperately) dry erase markers in different colors that came with an eraser and cleaner...it works great

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.

With a sharpie, no because they are permanent ;) but I bet a dry erase might work. These cups are so adorable,I highly recommend them

Possibly. The finish is similiar to dry erase. But not as dry erasable. I have not painted on it myself though. It might depend on what type of paint you are using. I would not use wetter mediums because it could potentially warp the board. I also don't know if some of the stickier paints would be a good idea either since they might stick when you close/fold the board. Personally I found markers artist/permanent were the best medium.

They erase with a dry cloth or eraser as opposed to needing a damp cloth. The vis-a-vis markers need water to wipe clean.If you leave the marker on for days and have a less than satisfactory surface, simply take a marker and cover the old marks and then erase with no problem. The company makes a cleaner for your surface that you may chose to use periodically to wash away built up residue.

I use dry and wet erase markers on this and I have found the best thing to utilize to wipe them off is Lysol Disinfectant Wipes. The ones in the Yellow containers. :-)

No - no liquid chalk markers do, they will only fully erase on an impermeable surface

Hi, There is a small flat piece of magnet on the side of the marker's cap/eraser section. There is a small eraser that is part of the cap. It is a weak magnet and just barely holds the little marker to the board. I like the board. The magnets are weak. The marker doesn't last long, so if you get the board, I would plan on getting some dry erase markers too.

I use it with this chalk marker: NeoChalk Liquid Chalk Marker Chisel Tip - White successfully. Although, I would look for a finer tipped marker next time. The marker does work well on the paper, and erases easily with a damp paper towel.
