Maybe I use a different kind of paint (or maybe I just never read the directions properly) but I definitely use a damp rag once in a while to properly clean the board (although I generally just use a dry one for our day to day chalkboard in our kitchen because we change it up so often).

We also rolled our chalkboard paint, but reviews we have read say b/c the cb paint is water based/latex not to wipe it clean with a damp rag- so our board 'conditioned' still has an all over grey'ish color rather than looking like a blk board (or as it looked when the cb paint was just rolled on). I know this question seems silly, but didn't want to use the wet and end up having the chalkboard paint wear away. Do you condition yours each time after writing something, that just seems like a lot of work? Your tutorial was great, thank you! We made ours slightly different so our girls could use in their playroom. two 'lil weeds mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962899608650349502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-54797489845593071992013-11-14T23:57:44.836-05:002013-11-14T23:57:44.836-05:00It helps if you season your board first and also I...It helps if you season your board first and also I think how porous your surface is matters somewhat too.
