Becka Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Hi, I'm making a chalkboard for my children and my niece to use as a countdown to Christmas. Can anyone recommend a paint to use on the chalkboard that won't be damaged by them rubbing out the chalk? I would prefer something that can be applied in pen form because I'm writing on the board and I find a paint pen easier to use than a brush and paint. Thanks, Becka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sari Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 You used to be able to buy chalkboard paint, in all major DIY shops, as they say.... http://www.blackfriar.co.uk/shop/Product.aspx?cId=89&pgId=73&tId=Overview and they do it in an areosol as well....if you google chalkboard paint tons come up!

Becka Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 Thank you for your reply! I haven't made myself very clear, I have the chalkboard paint but I'd like a paint, preferably in pen form, to make a decoration on the chalkboard and to write some lettering - hence the preference for the pen! Thank for the link, there's some really good hints and tips on there anyway. Becka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 You need liquid chalk markers. I used to do the menu boards & event boards for a golf club. I used these pens. I bought them from a place called Makro. You would also get them from a wholesalers like JTF or maybe Costco. They do eventually rub out, but I used to paint over the boards with blackboard paint once they needed re doing. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
