Application
• Repair all wall damage prior to painting (The smoother the surface,
the smoother the application, allowing markers to erase easier)
• Old Chalkboards will need to be cleaned using one of the following
methods:
• Mild acid/detergent solution such as a one part household vinegar to
three part water solution and a small amount of common household
detergent
• Rust-Oleum® Concrete Saver 108 Cleaning Etching Solution
• Common bathroom cleaners such as Kaboom® Shower and Tub & Tile
cleaner
• Clean and let dry before applying Zinsser® BIN primer.
• Bare Dry Wall will need to be primed with Zinsser® BIN (let the
primer dry for 2 hrs before applying the Dry Erase coating). Sand,
remove sanding dust and apply the Pro Dry Erase coating.
• IMPORTANT: Zinsser® BIN should always be recommended as the
primer when a primer is required.
Application continued…
• Apply with roller covers included in the kit (9” ¼ inch
woven lint free roller covers)
• Edge with a high quality brush
• One heavy coat of Pro Dry Erase is recommended
• Mix material has a one hour pot life (no induction time
required)
• Clear Dry Erase will appear “milky” but Dry Clear
• Pro Dry Erase paint should be allowed to cure for 7
DAYS before the use of dry erase markers
• For best results, to avoid marker crawling, clean the
surface with a dry erase liquid cleaner prior to first use
Primers
 Zinsser® BIN is the recommended primer before
applying the top coat
 Why?
 BIN’s unique alcohol/shellac based formula
provides the fastest CURE TIME before applying
the top coat. BIN can be top coated with Pro Dry
Erase after 2 hours. With ordinary latex and oil
based primers, a cure time of seven days is
required before top coating.
 BIN provides the smoothest finish which is
extremely important for the top coat
 BIN provides the greatest adhesion on a wide
variety of old chalkboards

 Note: Although BIN is a premium-priced primer, it
allows the job to be completed the same day.
Therefore, value can also be realized in time
saved.
Lessons Learned
 Crayola® Dry Erase Crayons
 The use of Dry Erase crayons are not
recommended over the Pro Dry Erase
surface.
 Dry Erase crayons left a wax residue
“shadow” on all Dry Erase surfaces
tested (including standard Dry Erase
Boards)
 Overtime, the thin wax film can affect
the gloss finish
 EXPO® Pink Ribbon Dry Erase Markers
 These markers “ghost” on all Dry
Erase surfaces
