Rust-Oleum 750ml Magnetic Chalkboard Paint - Black

Product Information

Chalkboards can get messy and covered in chalk dust that just won’t shift. So, how can you clean your magnetic chalkboard? To thoroughly clean your board, use a dry microfibre cloth to get rid of most of the chalk residue. Add a couple of teaspoons of lemon oil to your cloth before wiping the board. Not only will this make the room smell amazing, lemon oil is great for removing tougher areas of chalk and will add a slight shine to the board. An added bonus is that it’s antibacterial. When using a new chalkboard paint surface or any chalkboard its great to season or condition the surface before use. Magnetic chalkboard paint is not a single product, it is rather a process that involves two different products: Smart Magnetic Paint / Smart Super Magnetic Paint and Smart Chalkboard Paint.

At home, a magnetic chalkboard can be a fun and effective mode of communication and collaboration, especially if you have children. If you need a stronger magnetic surface, or you need to use a different type of paint in the room (like waterproof paint in a damp basement), there are other accessible options. You could fit a steel panel over the wall, try magnetic wallpaper, or apply chalk paint instead.

Don’t underestimate the importance of thoroughly stirring paint before using it. This step is even more important with magnetic paint, as the heavy metal pigments fall to the bottom of the can. Using a paint drill attachment or taking advantage of a stirring service at your local hardware store helps nail down the best blend. 2. Tape and Tarp the Space

Using magnetic paint is a DIY project you can easily accomplish on your own with a bit of prior experience with painting and some solid prep work. However, if you’re nervous about attempting to use magnetic paint or don’t have the time, you can always hire a local interior painter to do the job for you. Chalkboards are not inherently magnetic. You can try hanging a writable metal sheet, but they are heavy, might take a toll on your wall, and are limiting in terms of space. We recommend using Smart Neo-Magnets or any strong rare earth magnets for the magnetic functionality. You can also use standard chalk and chalkboard markers to write on the surface. When both coats of primer have dried (after around 24 hours), you can then apply your chalkboard paint . Use the paint according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure you get the best finish. You may find that the paint goes on more easily with a roller. Wait for it to dry fully before drawing on the board.

Try to avoid using water to clean your chalkboard. Over time, this could ruin the quality of the chalkboard paint and it might make it more difficult to clean in the future.

Then erase what you’ve done with your chalkboard eraser. Repeat as needed.
