I have some dry erase boards that don't seem to erase easily. I am motivated to create some custom dry erase panels that have current projects and a weekly production schedule.
Can any of you recommend any name brands or other material that works really well? How about stock aluminum or steel from sign supplier? What about abitibi? (shower board)
thanks in advance

I have a couple cheap ones and found that they don't erase easily if the writing has been on it a while. I give it a spritz of rapid tac, wipe it off & it's like brand new.
Yes, sometimes I feel like the father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but with rapid tac instead of windex. In my defense, at least 1 rapid tac bottle is always easily found in the shop and the windex is buried in a cabinet.

I used to use Abitibi/shower board, now I buy the real Dry Erase from Pioneer Supply. It's thicker and nicer. If only they would stop dinging my corners! I always wax with Pledge after applying vynull. Seems to make it last longer. Tell the customer to clean with Windex (they usually don't have Rapid products) and periodically re-wax.

Another tip would be to stop using glass cleaner to clean the boards and use the right products designed for the purpose - although, I have used Rapid Tac too I've never had a problem with the expo brand of markers or cleaner... www.expomarkers.com

We do dry erase boards fairy regularly, no real secret to them. Laminating film to use is drytac dry erase. dry erase film
Laminate printed vinyl to thin galvanised, overlaminate with dry erase film then mount that to sintra or coroplast and you have a nice dry erase magnetic board.

Thats OK with me to clean the erase boards with whatever works best,I just want everybody to see the "application and removal videos" so we can put an end to the "windex for application fluid myth"
Please, watch a few!!
