To those who have tried both RustOleum's Dry Erase and competitors (e.g. IdeaPaint or ReMarkable): What do you think? Is one superior than the others?

I sanded down the old RustOleum paint and used IdeaPaint. IdeaPaint works as designed. I've had it for about 18 months now and it still works great.

One of the reviewers (C. Andre) gave it a 5 star review and said they sprayed it first with a couple of coats of Rust-Oleum 1906830 Lacquer Spray, Clear, 11-Ounce from Amazon. With that tip, I bought it (just received today) and plan to do the same before using. I've found nothing else with these design features, and am hoping to improve on my previous InterDesign Forma tray, InterDesign Forma Kitchen Countertop Sink Organizer for Sponges, Scrubbers, Soap

Hi PuneetIt is the same product, but taken in different lighting conditions. Samples are always a great idea if you have very specific color requirements. CheersColin WhartonRocky Point Tile

Resolved--as in did Crayola create a better, improved version of the Doodle Magi Color Mat? I don't know. We did, however, keep the mat and just used regular dry erase markers. It works ok. But I wouldn't purchase it until you know for sure it has been improved or you will be terribly disappointed. The concept is great; I really hope Crayola fixes it.

We use that expo dry erase spray and that works out pretty good. Doesn't erase to well without it...

a Sharpie should never come off anything - period. buy a dry erase or take one from work from one of your conf rooms

Hi Leah, Thank you for your question. Apologies, l have only just received notification of your question, which is very strange as l check them everyday - I am sorry. Given you left your question some time ago, I am assuming you have already moved ahead one way or the other but to answer your question. I have never actually tested our markers on this surface before, however if the blackboard is made from glass then our markers would be ideal for this surface as glass is non-porous. I would still recommend testing a small portion of your surface first. If you are unhappy with our product, we are more then happy to fully refund your purchase. I hope this helps. If not, please don't hesitate to contact us again. Kind regards Lilly Morrison - Inspired By Craft

I have not had good luck with any rustoleum products. No matter what I do.....great prep work...evrything....the rust comes back. I would be very skeptical. I just tired this stuff....hasn't been long enough to determine if it works. It is clear. I think the intent is to seal the rust in so oxygen can't get to it.

I didn't use anything special but I found I liked the wider/flat/somewhat firm bristled paint brushes I had in my stash - they were part of a paint brush variety pack I had purchased at some point, nothing special. I tried using one of those sponge brushes and it introduced too many air bubbles into the chalkboard surface.

Rustoleum copper coat (1% copper in solution) is water-based & very - i'd say the best i've run across - easy to clean-up. Just remember to use hot water & the brush will actually be fluffy when you're done! It dries quickly & in my experience, where i had to leave the applied lumber outside exposed to the elements - not its normal use - it weathered well, with little if any loss of the coating. Good luck!

I highly recommend Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. It is the easiest program to pick up. The tools and interface are a snap to learn. I've had the 2012 edition and currently have the 6th edition and they just keep getting better. All the brushes, pens, pencils just look more natural. Plus it's cheap compared to photoshop and adobe illustrator. I believe I paid 40$ each for both versions. They just came out with the 7th wich I am planning to upgrade soon. Go on youtube and watch what people can do with this program. It's amazing and beautiful. You will instantly want to buy it as soon as you finish the video.

I have found through the years, that this Expo spray cleaner is the best when it comes to eliminating old marker. I've not had any issues with the cleaner removing any dry erase marker, no matter how long it has been on a whiteboard or a dry erase surface. I will just say it does not remove permanent marker, though, nor does it remove dry erase marker from a different type of surface. A fellow teacher once mistakenly wrote with a dry erase marker on a projection screen and this did not work to remove it. But if you use it for its intended purpose, it should work great.

This really doesn't compare.. it's way better! My daugther can actual draw "real pictures" on this thing that look like she used a marker\pen. We often take pictures of the images she makes because the Tomy Megasketcher workes so well. If your looking for something that produces realistic images and is fairly responsive, this is your ticket! Other sketchers look like 8-bit old computer images compared to this.

SUPER HIGH GLOSS. Dry erase boards kind of have to be. Honestly it was a complete disaster for me - glass works so much better. :)
