Whiteboard paint

[gwywnnydd]

Many of the conference rooms in this new (Green (tm)!) building complex have walls painted with whiteboard paint. The *whole wall* is a whiteboard.

I am almost embarrassed to admit how much sqwee I did when I really grokked that. And now I know, when I get my own house, that my craft room will be done at least half in whiteboard paint :).

Oooh!! That would meet the other desire I would have for my workroom, the ability to post stuff on the walls... a 10x15 corkboard is bloody Ex$pen$ive!

magnetic primer...

Ramon and Liaden did that in their office...
1. cans of that stuff is very heavy
2. I think it's expensive
3. After three coats, it's has a WEAK pull to it (even with other magnets over it to pinch between the two)

Therefore a sheet of metal is the better of the two. Maybe put mag. paint on metal sheet?... Wonder how well that would work...

... Floor to ceiling? Really? All of it?

I think I've just added something to my wish-list for my dream house. ;)

The Whole Wall. It's unbelievably cool :)

Then you can encourage your kid to draw on the walls -- but only with whiteboard markers.

Hahahahaha.

MY first thought was "Not until bug is old enough to grok 'here but not there' COMPLETELY."

But I totally want one too! I've heard mixed results re. the magnetic paint though which I also think is way cool. Anyone know how smooth the wall has to be?

Get out of my head :).

I bet Home Depot knows... ;)

He*ll. Yes.

Already done that. :) Except I used magnetic primer with a blackboard coat.

Sanded down the wall using 800 grit paper, then put 3 layers of primer and 3 layers of black (which was probably overkill). Now I have a magnetic doodleboard that I can clean with a damp rag. :D
