How do you get old blu-tack off a whiteboard?

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Somebody’s used a whiteboard at work to stick stuff up on it using blu-tack. Now I can’t clean the stuff off – any tips?

Please no predictably facetious answers like “get the person who did it to clean it” or “buy a new whiteboard” – you need to work on your creativity ;-)

How can i get my whiteboard to stay on the wall?

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010


The sticky things that came with my whiteboard are useless, the first set I used, it fell off the wall within the hour. I used 3M Command Hangers, fell off the wall again. The 3m hangers actually took a big chunk of the paint off my wall. The board is 2 feet by 2 feet and only 1/2 inch thick.

How do I refinish a whiteboard?

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

I used bleach to clean my whiteboard, and it took the finish off. Now the dry erase markers don’t wipe off, i have to scrub them. What could I use to resurface it?

Clear Coat would be a good option.

Start by sanding the board to get a rough surface, then paint it with the clear coating. Gelgloss works well. Rustoleom also makes white board paint.

You could also use a self-adhesive board skins to place over it. It’s extremely sticky on the back, so make sure to get it placed before you stick it on.
