In this video you will be able to see a full comparison and detailed review of how our ReMARKable Whiteboard Paint compared to IdeaPaint + Rustoleum by Jamie When Jamie first came to us, she was online browsing our website and popped into a chat with Susan, one of our Customer Care Representatives. She let us know up front that she had a big office project and really wanted to do some due diligence in determining the absolute best whiteboard paint product. Find out and compare which paint is better whiteboard paint or idea paint. She let us know she would be putting us to the test against IdeaPaint and Rustoleum, and we were excited to participate in her tests. When she got back to us a few weeks later by phone, we were thrilled to learn what we knew all along she would find. She loved ReMARKable and found it to be the best out of the 3, and it really wasn’t even close. She recorded this amazing video and copied us on it so we could republish on our blog. Jamie’s now one of ReMARKable’s biggest fans, and we were a huge fan of her and this amazing video she put together… so much so, that we invited her to collaborate in ReMARKable training videos Whiteboard Paint at https://www.remarkablecoating.com will make it easy for your new whiteboard wall look perfect and withstand the test of time.

How to Apply Dry Erase Paint5/22/2019 https://www.remarkablecoating.com
Proper Surface Preparation for Dry Erase Paint Wall must be smooth Make sure that your wall is as smooth as possible before you start. Wall must be dry Make sure any fresh paint has dried for at least 24 hours prior to application. Wall must be skimmed If you happen to have a textured wall, you're gonna need to skim it with drywall mud prior to your whiteboard application. Wall must be dust-free If your wall is mostly smooth but you have a little bit of texture, just use 220 grit sandpaper. Lightly sand the wall thoroughly, dust it, and then you'll be ready for your application. Remember dust is the enemy to proper adhesion.

Applying Whiteboard Wall Paint5/22/2019 https://www.remarkablecoating.com
How Long Does Quality Whiteboard Paint Take To Dry? Quality = Fast The great thing about quality whiteboard paint is the fast drying time from when it is applied to your surface, to the time you can write on it. Quality = 48 Hour Dry Time Using a high-end brand like ReMARKable whiteboard paint, you can write on your freshly painted surface just 48 hours after the application is complete. Water-Based Is Best The industry average dry time is 4-7 days for the low-end whiteboard paints. This fact has made the water-based premium whiteboard paint most desirable to companies concerned with how long their walls will be wet in the workplace. Slow Drying = Low-End Remember that slow drying times have absolutely no relation to better quality whiteboard paint. In fact, it's quite the opposite.

Whiteboard Paint Base Coat5/22/2019 Considerations when Using Other Base Coats with Whiteboard Paint
https://www.remarkablecoating.com Use Satin or Eggshell Water-based Enamel If you're not going to use the Remarkable base coat, we recommend that you use a satin or eggshell water-based enamel. Avoid flat Paint The reason you should avoid flat paint is that it is very absorbent. Dry erase coatings are a coating, not typical paint. A coating is meant to sit up on top of the surface and not absorb down into it. Avoid Chemicals and Additives Avoid things like antimicrobials, wetting and dispersing agents, deformers or rheology modifiers. All these chemicals in large amounts, especially, can cause an adverse reaction when you apply the Remarkable dry erase coating on top of it. Get a Decent Quality Base Paint Your base coat and your prep work matters. It's a foundation for the dry erase surface. Avoid Polyvinyl Acetate Make sure is that the base paint does not have Polyvinyl acetate. This is a common ingredient with some cheaper and lesser expensive things.

Keeping Your Whiteboard Wall Clean5/17/2019 Avoid Abrasive or Scratching Motions
Never use abrasive or scratching motions to clean your whiteboard wall. The non-porousness of hardened whiteboard paint is what allows the ink to come off so easily, as a clear, Teflon-like coating protects the whiteboard from letting ink set in. But scratches and "tears" in this coating will allow the ink to seep through. Microfiber cloths are always best. Use Whiteboard Cleaner Use a soy-based whiteboard cleaner and a microfiber cloth at the end of every week to keep the board clean. Regular cleanings are recommended to prevent the need to repaint your whiteboard in the first place. A light spray of soy-based whiteboard cleaner and a microfiber cloth, followed by water dampened cloth, will remove marks before the set in, keeping your whiteboard wall beautiful for years to come. Remove "Ghost Marks" Remove "ghost marks" or permanent marker by completely covering the stubborn marks in black dry-erase ink, then erasing it quickly. The wet marker has chemicals that keep the ink fluid, which will temporarily loosen the ghost marks or permanent marker. Work quickly, then erase with a microfiber cloth and a soy-based cleaner to remove the marks. Follow by wiping with water dampened cloth. Don't Use Other Cleaners Never use degreasers, soap, or cleaners not specially formulated for whiteboard paint. Most detergents break up oils and sheens that are not water-soluble, helping cut through tough stains and chemicals. But the sheen left by whiteboard paint is there on purpose, allowing the markers to write without ever truly drying out. Never use cleaners that aren't made to work with whiteboard paint. In a pinch, denatured alcohol can work as a more powerful cleaner than water, and it shouldn't harm the original finish. Follow with water dampened cloth. Dry your Whiteboard Wall Always dry off your whiteboard wall with your microfiber cloth. Even after using the recommended soy-based cleaner don't let it air dry. If you're wiping the board down at the end of the day, follow with additional microfiber water dampened cloth. This will help protect the longevity of the board. Use Clean Microfiber Cloths Regularly clean or replace your microfiber cloth to prevent the build-up of dust and marker residue. Dust and debris can be abrasive and which is the enemy the longevity of your whiteboard wall. |
