Black chalk board easily accepts chalk and chalk markers. Ideal for restaurant menus, milestone signs, notes, and more! For best results, we recommend priming your chalkboard prior to use by taking the side of a chalk stick and rubbing it on the entire surface of the board. Wipe chalk off with a dry cloth and use. A damp microfiber cloth can be used to clean the surface of your board. Do not over saturate. Priming may be required after cleaning."
