Can you use color chalk on this board? I'm looking to add this to my restaurant for daily specials...

My son did a beautiful job on the board with colored chalk, so yes, colored chalk works on this board.

Yes - I use it on my produce stand to list what we have and prices, and I use colored chalk all the time. It's not meant to be used outside, but it has held up pretty well anyway. I clean it with a damp cloth, let it dry, then re-write as needed. Serves the purpose and the price was right.

My white writes fine on our chalkboard.Use Dawn Power Dissolver (it's for gunked up pans and such). Works like a charm! I just did my chalk board with it and it's beautiful and easy to write on now! You should be able to get it at any grocery store or Wal-mart.

Don't know about chalk, but I painted over magnetic paint, and I did not get good results. You can now but buy sheets of dry erase to put on a wall. They are much nicer and far cheaper. The dry erase paint is terrible.

This won't work At all....you need a permanent marker for that...try looking for a permanent chalk marker in white

I use them on the 'fake' chalkboard sheets ando in my opinion, they look more fluid than regular chalk. Like what you see on the bright menu boards etc at bars and restaurants. Im thinking depending how intense you make the letters could change how chalky they appear!

Yes. I color regular sugar with food color and it worked. The only think that doesn't have flavor.

Yes, you can use standard or jell food coloring. Either one should give you good results.

I haven't tried that but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. But I would get the spray version rather than the can, so you don't mess up the chalk. Good luck!

I just used chalk from Walmart. I'd love to use chalk markers (I think that's what businesses use to make signs with lettering last so long) but didn't want to pay for them justt I use them once.

You can use any basic or colored chalk and it will work great! Regular chalk will rub off by touch. A chalk pen is technically liquid chalk and it does takes water and a little rubbing to get it off. I prefer it!

i have a standard chalkboard but my friend who turned me on to these uses them on a metal cookie sheet she painted with chalkboard paint. Hope that answers your question.

I use either a liquid chalk pen or a chalk pencil that they sell.....(same vendor that sells the labels, I believe) You can also use any color chalkboard chalk. Just be aware that whatever type of chalk/marker you use, they are all very temporary. Any rubbing of the surface or any moisture and they begin to fade quickly.....of course, you can also re-write quickly :) If you are looking for a more permanent type of label, one that can withstand repeated use and even dishwasher safe, look for "Label Once" brand of labels. They have food grade ones that work really well!

There was no gloss on my board. It's like what they used in schools before the white boards. However, I did chalk it before I used it for the time. I recommend doing that.

I used a chalk marker with this, but I used it with the intention of not erasing. I made signs with it. I would actually recommend the marker over chalk. It gives a brighter, cleaner look.

Sure you can paint it. It is mostly pressboard but it is all wood of some sort. I would recommend roughing it up with a really light sandpaper or wiping it down with TSP to give it some tooth for the paint to adhere to but then you should have no problem. Good luck!

Mixing the colors could be a stylish option. Try picking something else nuetral and use it like you did it on purpose. No one else will be able to find one just like it. Kind of like a,contrasting wall

liquid chalk will work good. I had regular chalk and it didnt write on it hardly at all, kinda dissapointing.
