Directions on the can are not very explicit; you have to go online to the company website "FAQ" section for useful tips. Main issues... 1. The instructions on the can do not include a drying time between multiple coats. 2. The instructions on the can do not include tips or information for base coating on porous and/or dark surfaces. What I learned... 1. If possible, place the surface being coated on a flat surface or else otherwise orient it horizontally; doing so helps avoid runs and drips. 2. (If covering a chalkboard or similar surface) Clean the surface, and then let it air dry; apply a white, oil-based primer to the surface, and then let it dry completely; use a foam applicator rather than the 1/4" nap roller the can suggests - the foam applicator will help avoid streaking. Basically, I shouldn't have to tell anyone these things in a customer review. The company needs to provide this kind of information on their can; they can use a pull-out label to fit more instructions and tips, other products do so. My chalkboard is now a relatively effective dry-erase board, but it looks ugly with run lines, and the original dark green color is not completely whited-out after two coats (two full cans = $$$).

I have used this product many times, good product, excellent packaging. But now in order to "save money" ~ a cheap flimsy plastic wedge has replaced a previous good installation tool, made of strong plastic with a felt piece on one side to help smooth out bubbles. This is not the best place to save pennies. You can have the greatest product every...but if it looks like crap after installing it ... then repeat sales are nonexistent!!! This is basic sales 101, also the product used to come with a simple one page reminder how to install the product, hints for best results. Now there are none, increasing the likelihood of a poor installation and dissatisfied client.

The Whiteyboard's mounting was probably the most complicated, more due to the size I ordered (4' x 6') than the sticker itself. My first test run with the whiteboard marker (black), which comes included, doesn't erase all that well. Not having tested any other brands, I can't say whether it's the marker or the board. I'll find out tomorrow.

When I found this board on-line, it was just what I was looking for. It was simple to order and was shipped quickly. That is why I am giving it 2 stars. Upon unrolling it and trying to install it, it has been a nightmare. I spent several hours trying to get the bubbles out. If I had not spent $80 on it I would have thrown it out. I have it up and still and every day I work on taking out more bubbles.

We ordered the Black dry erase 4' x 10' and received the white one by mistake. Otherwise the quality, service and product is great.

Whiteyboard provides amazing customer service but the midnight (black) whiteyboard product was not up to the standard I was looking for.

All the items I have ordered have been well received.

I tried out my whiteyboard sample in my office and on my first attempt to re-position it, it peeled off the paint and top layer of drywall. Needless to say I will not be ordering a full-size version.
