Can you use fixative on a chalkboard and then wash it off? I'd like to find a way to keep chalk on a board for an extended period before erasing.

I my experience fixative will be absorbed by the chalk and then run and streak. Perhaps a Dry Erase Board?

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

I just use chalk you can buy at Target or Walmart. Cleans off with no problem. About once a week I clean it with a damp cloth.

Yes, but it does leave a very light residual which means you will find yourself re-painting every so often if this bothers you. I have found water cleans just as efficiently as the solutions, so they don't solve the problem. On regular blackboards it erases perfectly. It also comes off of the white board/dry erase board perfectly which they now have paint for as well. Because it does leave a residual, I have switched over to dry erase applications or glass which can be frosted or painted on the back side (picture or poster frames). I love these markers so much, that this was the way I went to be able to keep on using them. Hope this helps.

You should always test it. It will work with some chalkboard materials as their description says but others it won't work so well. I used it on a stick on chalkboard and initially it wipes right off with water but after it dries, it's actually not easy to get off. Whereas it comes right off of our stone countertop and kitchen backsplash. I think it also works directly on glass or mirror. So if the material is impermeable, probable works best. Hope that helps.

Yep, works great with chalk! Even comes with a piece of white chalk. This has turned out to be one of the best things I've ever purchased for my kids! I love it!

Works very well on a chalkboard so am guessing a chalkboard painted wall is similar. It's both washable and erasable. One thing though it's more brighter than a regular chalk so a regular chalk eraser leaves a faint mark behind. Wet cloth would clean it clear. On paper a kneaded eraser works great. Have not tried it chalk board.

The chalk comes off with wiping of any kind. I have not washed my jars yet. I imagine if you put them on a clean jar they would stay on for a while.

Hi thanks for your interest and question about our product. We have had customers who have been able to use our chalk markers on painted-on blackboards and they have been able to remove the ink, however just like all chalk marker manufacturers, we do not recommend this as painted surfaces are generally porous (meaning they have tiny absorbent holes in the surface). This means that they may absorb the ink and it will be difficult to remove. I would advise you to test a small area in the corner of the surface to see if it is able to be removed. One other option is to try and seal the area with a surface primer from your hardware store, as we have found that this can often help. Examples of unsuitable (porous) surfaces include plaster, cement, wood, painted surfaces that haven't been adequately sealed, wood etc. Examples of suitable (non-porous surfaces) include glass, mirrors, metal, slate chalkboards, stone, varnished wood, most whiteboards etc. I really hope this helps and please feel free to ask if you have any further queries.

So sorry it's taken me so long to respond. Yes, when marker gets on the eraser you can rinse it off. It's a great white board eraser!

I use this chalkboard exclusively with chalk markers and I think they work great with it! A lot of the less expensive chalk boards are too porous to accommodate chalk markers without staining, and that isn't the case with this chalkboard at all.

These aren't meant for chalkboards. I figure they would probably work if the chalkboard paper is really smooth, but then it probably wouldn't work well for chalkboards, haha. So my recommendation is no, they most likely won't work for what you're trying to do. They're just for dry erase.

I don't know if you can or not on this chalkboard. I would be afraid to because I wouldn't want to see the chalkboard go to waste. Maybe call or email the actual maker of the chalkboard about this question. I would like to know myself. Word.

I used chalk markers and no matter what I try, I cannot erase it completely. There is a ghost of all writing and windex did not work for me. I used serious elbow grease and it's not working.

I would try to hand wash when possible. I put them in the dishwasher when I first got them and the chalkboard started to fade after a month or so.

You "can" with chalk, though I would only say that might work if you're doing the chalk markers. Dry erase should work fine. The surface is a shiny, slick surface. The maps are high quality and the company responds quickly to email. If you have lingering concerns, contact them. Their info is listed on Amazon.

they write very well on chalkboard paint, however they will not remove easily. I have found that you need to paint over with more chalkboard paint if you would like it to remove cleanly.
