Product Information

But it’s important to review the considerations of this paint type before you commit to using this specialty paint. Whether you’re sprucing up a playroom or giving your children a place to hang art in their bedrooms, here’s everything you need to know about magnetic paint. What Is Magnetic Paint? To thoroughly clean your board, use a dry microfibre cloth to get rid of most of the chalk residue. Add a couple of teaspoons of lemon oil to your cloth before wiping the board. Not only will this make the room smell amazing, lemon oil is great for removing tougher areas of chalk and will add a slight shine to the board. An added bonus is that it’s antibacterial.

However, applying magnetic paint to glass, like applying any kind of paint to glass, is a challenge. You’ll need to put in extra prep work and prime the surface thoroughly to ensure solid adhesion. Chalkboards are not inherently magnetic. You can try hanging a writable metal sheet, but they are heavy, might take a toll on your wall, and are limiting in terms of space. This magnetic chalkboard paint surface doesn’t require you to hang a heavy metal sheet either. Simply follow the application instructions and start writing in no time.

Depending on the formula and manufacturer, the paint can last between 12 months and 5 years for an unopened can. But even magnetic paint with a five-year shelf life can go bad sooner, depending on the storage location and temperature. Opening the tin and improperly resealing it also expedites expiration.If your surface is properly prepared and already painted, you shouldn’t have to apply another layer of primer. However, applying a layer of water-based primer is a good idea when using the paint on new absorbent drywall. That way, the magnetic paint should go further, and you might not need to apply so many coats. 5. Apply the Magnetic Paint

Chalkboards can get messy and covered in chalk dust that just won’t shift. So, how can you clean your magnetic chalkboard? Magnetic chalkboard paint is not a single product, it is rather a process that involves two different products: Smart Magnetic Paint / Smart Super Magnetic Paint and Smart Chalkboard Paint.

Either way will work – it’s just down to personal preference. So, have a read of both of our methods and choose which one sounds best for you. Using a magnetic primerThis product is extremely safe to use as it does not release dust particles into the air. Many other paints contain isocyanates which are unsafe for the public to use. Smarter Surfaces’ paints are completely free from isocyanates. As with before, you can add your own frame using two pieces of wood that have both sides cut at a 45 degree angle. Then add your D hooks and hang! Chalk is available in a rainbow of colours, so writing on the surface gives you a range of versatile options. By adding different coloured chalk to your board you can separate various tasks more easily and highlight the more pressing duties or notes. Don’t underestimate the importance of thoroughly stirring paint before using it. This step is even more important with magnetic paint, as the heavy metal pigments fall to the bottom of the can. Using a paint drill attachment or taking advantage of a stirring service at your local hardware store helps nail down the best blend. 2. Tape and Tarp the Space
