Many of us know how to create our own dry erase boards from numerous instructions posted here, but there is still a debate going on as to what kind of material should be used to make the most erasable surface. Some say that simple "tileboards" do not last long and ghosting can occur especially when the marker has been left on. Some say that same is true with melamine, and porcelain has its draw backs. Some love the plexi-glass, where some claim that shower tiles are the best. The staff at Eraseboards.com are determined to find out what the best material is...or at least provide the pros/cons.
So, let me take a stab at it. Here are two websites that mention the erasability. A little advanced, but looking at the chart makes me feel a little smarter... Shower Board White Boards Making the Board (List of materials) - This site mentions alcohol for cleaning, but that may damage the boards. Be careful! I know a professional who manufacture dry erase boards, and I am waiting to hear back. I think he told me that he once used melamine tileboards for $7~9, but later he found "dry erase board quality" tile boards for $15 or so. More to come... No one has commented on this article. |
