So for those of you who have had the pleasure of working with me (I’m already wincing at what comments might come from that remark) know, I have been unhealthily obsessed with finding clear dry-erase boards for a long time now. And today I finally installed some:
And another image:
As you can see, I still have some painting left to do. I hate painting.
All I did for the boards was use 3 peices of 24″x36″x1/4″ Lucite panels, holes in the corners, screws and washers to hold them against the wall. I came to Lucite after a little testing with standard Expo and Expo2 (Low Odor) markers on a 10″x12″ test piece. The “original formula” Expo markers did not erase well at all, and left a residue. But the Expo2 markers worked beautifully.

Hey,
I was just looking for something just like this for a dry-erase board idea. I wasn’t thinking of three of them, but now I see yours and it looks pretty nice.
With the lucite panels you used, was it hard for you to drill through them? Do you recommend lucite over plexiglass?
Also, I was wondering as to how much you purchased all three for, and where you purchased them from.
Thanks, any help would be much appreciated,
Niren

Hello,
Your dry erase boards look great. I’ve been having trouble finding clear white boards. Could you let me know where you purchased yours from?
Thanks for your help,

Do the normal erasers work on the lucite or do you have to use a spray?

I know these boards are hard to find. We have started offering clear dry erase boards in both wall-mount and mobile styles.
