Does whiteboard paint really work? Yes, it works, and the best quality whiteboard paint lasts longer than typical traditional whiteboards. Chemicals and some solvents in the pens used on whiteboards tend to break down the surface of a traditional whiteboard; thus, the dingy grey discoloration is usually seen within about three years. This causes the need for replacement which can be not only costly but adds more non-biodegradable trash to our landfills. ReMARKable Whiteboard Paint is completely impervious and, when properly maintained, has been reported to look and perform the same ten years later just as it did when originally properly installed. ReMARKable Whiteboard Paint allows for expanded, seamless collaboration space not obtained by traditional whiteboards because of limitations in the size in which the material may be manufactured. Proper and easy preparation is key. You want your smooth surface to be sealed well with one of the suggested manufacturer’s base paints so that the ...

Introduction: The clear and white versions of ReMARKable whiteboard paint are the finest products of their kind on the market today. However, our paints need to be handled, applied, and maintained according to our easy-to-follow instructions, or they will not look and function as they were designed to. Below are some recommendations on the application, storage, and maintenance of our clear whiteboard coating. COLOR CLEAR It’s strongly recommended that high-quality clear ReMARKable whiteboard paint be applied over our proprietary base paint/primer, which can be tinted with universal colorants to achieve any light or mid-toned color you like. It’s best to avoid darker colors for this purpose to allow your dry erase marker ink to be easily visible when you write or draw on the finished whiteboard surface. Our clear coating may also be applied over base coats comprised of water-based enamels with a satin or eggshell finish, but it’s necessary to avoid paints containing additives such as fl...

Introduction The manufacturer’s instructions that come with most standard types of paint, such as interior and exterior latex house paint, state that it’s necessary to apply at least two coats of their products to a substrate to obtain the optimal results; namely, a completely opaque, uniformly colored, durable, and cleanable surface. Similarly, many dry-erase coating companies advise applying two layers of their products to get the best effect; that is, a long-lasting surface that is easily written on with dry-erase markers and readily erased with standard dry-erase erasers or cloths. However, with ReMARKable Dry Erase Paint , only one coat is required to obtain a highly resilient, impermeable, and easily written on and erased dry-erase surface that will last for ten or more years of regular use before needing to be replaced. ONE COAT OF STANDARD PAINT IS INSUFFICIENT FOR ADEQUATE COVERAGE In contrast, depending on the hue and condition of the surface to be painted, one coat of any st...

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently updated K–12 school guidelines to reflect the latest research on the practice of physical distancing among students in classroom settings. The CDC now advises that the use of masks should remain universal and that elementary school students should maintain a safe distance of at least three feet from one another in the classroom, whether the COVID-19 transmission rate in their area is low, moderate, substantial, or high. In middle and high schools, the CDC recommends the same amount of distancing in classrooms with universal mask use, where community transmission is low, moderate, or substantial. SOCIAL DISTANCING WHEN WRITING IN FRONT OF CLASS IS EASY WITH WHITEBOARD WALLS The CDC’s updated strategy is an important element in the agency’s attempt to help schools open and remain open for in-person instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the use of whiteboard coated walls is one practical way to help in this effor...

Once the recommended single layer of top-quality whiteboard coating has been installed, it’s important that you remember the following key points: (1)  possible application of a second layer of the coating (for special situations or future recoating) (2)  proper maintenance of the whiteboard-coated surface after it cures (3)  health and safety factors related to your finished whiteboard surface (4)  ten-year warranty that comes with each container of coating By bearing this information in mind, you can ensure yourself a fruitful, trouble-free, and long-lasting relationship with your whiteboard-coated surface. WHITEBOARD WALL RECOATING To achieve the best results, we recommend applying just a single layer of premium whiteboard coating after your surface is properly prepared. However, if you feel that a second coat is needed, wait until the first coat is completely dry to the touch (18-24 hours). If the second coat must happen after 24 hours, wait a full 48 hours, then lightly sand the a...

MARCH: THE MONTH OF CHANGE AND IRISH LUCK According to the western calendar, the first day of spring falls on the 20th of March, a month that usually feels quite chilly, so during March, we begin living in Springtime while feeling that winter has not yet ended. Many who write about the month examine this two-sided quality by describing variable aspects of nature like cold weather changing to warm then back to cold, flowers starting to bud then being covered with snow, and gray skies turning blue then back to gray in a single day. If only Mother Nature would arrange for more regular spring-like conditions throughout March, we’d all be happier. But, as many commentators note, the month’s weather is unpredictable, and hopes of spring are often dashed by a sudden return to winter. However, despite its unpredictability, March can be seen as one of the cheeriest months of the year. Flowers and trees are budding, spring is on the way, and the major holiday, St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, offe...

FEBRUARY: A TIME FOR LOVE AND WINTRY WEATHER February may be the year’s shortest month, but Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day guarantee that it isn’t overlooked on the way to spring. The word February is thought to come from the Latin name Februalia for the ancient Roman Festival of Purification. The root “februo” means “I purify by sacrifice.” Considering the challenging weather that occurs in many areas during February, it’s easy to see the month as a time of purification when frigid temperatures and dark skies test people’s spirit and determination. The Snow Moon is the name for the Full Moon in February, relating to the month’s often snowy weather. Some Native American tribes named it the Hunger Moon due to the scarce food sources available during the month, while another name is Storm Moon due to February’s blustery weather. Among the ancient Anglo-Saxons of Britain, February was known as “Sprout-kale” as it was the time of year when kale and cabbage first sprouted from the grou...
