Did you know you are supposed to ‘PRIME’ or ‘BREAK IN’ a chalkboard before using it? Often new chalkboards don’t work as well as you had hoped; to prime the new chalkboard, just follow these simple steps:
Step #1
Cover the surface with chalk
This may get Messy! Perhaps do it outside. First thing to do is cover the entire chalkboard surface with chalk; rubbing the side of the chalk and in all directions… left to right, top to bottom and criss cross.
Step #2
Rub in and wipe clean
Now that everything is all chalked up, grab a soft microfiber cloth then rub the chalk into the surface in circular motion. After this is done, wipe clean with the cloth until the chalk is all off .
Step #3
Have fun!
Now that the surface is primed you are free to unleash your carrotivity!
To cut down on dust when erasing, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth, and be sure the board is dry before drawing again.
