Dry Erase Paint On Wood

There are many options available when considering dry erase paint. Most of the time, a "regular" wall is what you want to have painted so that you can brainstorm, draw, etc. However, there are many non-standard surfaces that will work, and one of these is wood.

In this picture, we have previously shown that whiteboard paint can be applied to wood quite successfully, and that it looks great - especially with a lighter grained wood that will let the markers be easily visible.

We just wanted to go over some specifics that will help you get the most out of your project in case you are contemplating putting Thought Formula whiteboard paint on a wood surface, such as a cabinet, desk, or bare wall.

- Prepare your surface carefully, just like with a normal wall. Remember that a rough surface will be difficult to erase. Prior to painting your wooden surface, sand it down to a smooth finish.
- Use a stain or other sealing product on the wood. Otherwise the wood will be very absorbent and it may take several coats of whiteboard paint to make the surface usable. Applying this stain /sealer coat will help you save time and money.

- Allow extra time to cure. Although the base stain coat should be non-absorbent, it is a good rule of thumb to give the paint an extra few days to cure completely.
