Whiteboard paint should be applied with anap or 3/8" nap microfiber roller.
Step 2
Never use a foam or other synthetic roller.
Step 3
A full size 9" roller should be used, not the little
mini rollers.
Step 4
Delint the roller by wrapping masking tape around it,
spiraling it from top to bottom, covering the entire roller sleeve. Once all
covered in tape, unroll the tape from the roller sleeve, removing any excess
lint as you go. This step must be complete before mixing the two parts.
Considerations when Using Other Base Coats with Whiteboard Paint
Use Satin or Eggshell Water-based Enamel
If you're not going to use the Remarkable base coat, we recommend that you use a satin or eggshell water-based enamel.
Avoid flat Paint
The reason you should avoid flat paint is that it is very absorbent. Dry erase coatings are a coating, not typical paint. A coating is meant to sit up on top of the surface and not absorb down into it.
Avoid Chemicals and Additives
Avoid things like antimicrobials, wetting and dispersing agents, deformers or rheology modifiers. All these chemicals in large amounts, especially, can cause an adverse reaction when you apply the Remarkable dry erase coating on top of it.
Get a Decent Quality Base Paint
Your base coat and your prep work matters. It's a foundation for the dry erase surface.
Avoid Polyvinyl Acetate
Make sure is that the base paint does not have Polyvinyl acetate. This is a common ingredient with some cheaper and lesser expensive things.
