Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rust-Oleum 241140 Dry Erase Brush-On Kit, White
Customer Review: Horribly Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this paint after reading glowing reviews and applied it to a table we wanted to redo. We sanded down the table top and primed its surface. I left it alone for several days before applying the Rustoleum whiteboard paint. We managed to get four thin coats of paint on the table before our 2 hour window was gone. All seemed to have gone well. We waited a whole week before trying the paint just to make sure it cured. I let my kids doodle on the table and then we attempted to erase it.
It didn't come off. A wet paper towel worked but not well. We tried cleaners too and they'd remove the markers for awhile but eventually they too quit working. Now I have this ugly cracked and yellowed table that we keep a table cloth over while we attempt to sand it down. Attempt being the keyword here because it's very very difficult to remove and the sanding is slow going even with an electric sander.
To say we're disappointed with this product would be an understatement.
Customer Review: Teachers: Do NOT Use
Summary: 1 Stars
I cleaned, primed, and then painted the Rustoleum dry erase paint on my old chalkboard. I used the recommended high density brushes. I was careful about letting everything dry and sanding my surface down to make it perfectly smooth. I also was able to apply several coats of the paint and waited 3 days before writing on the wall.
I wrote on the board for the first time today and guess what...it DOESN'T DRY ERASE...THE MARKER DOESN'T COME OFF.
"Ghosting" isn't even accurate, because writing is still as plain as day when you erase.
I used a brand new EXPO marker, so I know it isn't a marker issue. I am a teacher, and I was planning on using the paint this year as an alternate to buying a yearly glossy showerboard. Now I'm out of $40, and I am frustrated that school starts TOMORROW and I currently have NOTHING to write on.
I feel very jaded when it comes to "specialty teacher items" now. :(
Customer Review: I now have an awesome wall.
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to turn one of the walls in my bedroom into a dry erase surface, and so bought two cans of this stuff. I did three coats, let it dry between each coat, and then waited a week to draw on it.
The surface is perfect! What little ghosting occasionally shows up easily wipes off with a damp rag. I've used several brands of dry-erase markers, some the nicer Expo ones and some cheap ones I got as swag. They've all been fine, and now I have a huge surface for brainstorming when I wake up with an idea in the middle of the night. The wall has been up for almost two months now, and it's great.
The moral of all these reviews seems to be:
1. Make sure your product hasn't expired.
2. Use a good *latex* primer (not the magnetic stuff also available from the manufacturer).
3. Apply multiple coats and be sure to allow for adequate drying time.
Customer Review: Does NOT work as promised! Don't do it!
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought this product with the intention of providing my 5 year old with a surface she could draw and write on. At the same time we also bought the chalkboard paint. We painted each of her 2 closet doors, one with dry erase paint and one with chalkboard paint and what a difference! I followed the directions exactly and the end results couldn't be any more different. The dry erase surface is everything but erasable! We are extremely disappointed with the results. Save some time and $$ and either use the chalkboard paint or buy a REAL dry erase surface. I have sent the company an email to see what they have to say. Has anyone else done the same? If so, what was their response? I hate it when companies make false claims and mislead customers.Customer Review: Love this product
Summary: 4 Stars
Love this product. I took the suggestions and us the right roller and I use a Foam brush for cutting in. Yes it was a little running at first you just need to adjust how much paint you put on the prush or roller to keep it from dripping. After a few times of doing it you get used to how the product works and before you are done with the first coat you are a pro. I put 4 coats on the top half of my daughter wall in in bedroom above the chair rail. It work fababous. She is a teenager and is just loving this. I would highly recomend this. I painted it on Monday night and did not let her right on it until late Wedneday night and it worked great and I just used a dry dark wash cloth to wrip the black dry erase marker we used and it came right off.
