Full details
MagPaint Sketch Paint Gloss (White) is designed for DIY enthusiasts, educators, and creatives looking to transform any smooth, flat surface into a durable, erasable whiteboard. Its key benefit is the limitless potential for creating custom writeable spaces without size or shape constraints.

FAQs
How long does it take for SketchPaint to be ready for use?
The surface needs to cure for a minimum of 5 days after application before it can be written on and wiped clean.
What kind of markers can I use on the SketchPaint surface?
You can use standard whiteboard markers. Avoid using permanent markers, as they may not be erasable.
Can I paint SketchPaint over any color?
The white version is designed to create a white writing surface. If you want to paint over an existing color while keeping that color visible, you should use the transparent version of SketchPaint.
How do I clean the writable surface?
Clean the surface regularly with a damp cloth or a standard whiteboard cleaner. For tougher marks, a solution of isopropyl alcohol can be used.
What is the coverage of SketchPaint?
A 500ml tin covers approximately 3m², and a 1L tin covers approximately 6m².
Can I use SketchPaint outdoors?
SketchPaint is designed for indoor use on smooth, flat surfaces. Outdoor application is not recommended due to environmental factors affecting durability and performance.
Is this product safe to use in children's rooms?
Yes, SketchPaint is water-based, solvent-free, and virtually odourless, making it safe for use in homes, including children's rooms, when applied according to instructions.
Troubleshooting
Surface is not completely erasable after curing.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, and that the paint was applied evenly in one coat. Allow the full 5-day curing period. For older marks, try a whiteboard cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
Uneven finish or roller marks visible.
This can occur if the paint was applied too thickly or unevenly. Ensure a consistent application with a quality roller. Minor imperfections might be less noticeable once writing begins.
Paint is not drying or curing properly.
Check that the two components were mixed correctly and in the right ratio. Ensure the room temperature is within the recommended range for application and curing, and that there is adequate ventilation. Avoid applying in excessively humid conditions.
Odour persists after application.
While the paint is virtually odourless once dry, some residual scent may be noticeable during the initial curing phase, especially in poorly ventilated areas. Ensure good ventilation during and after application.
