<h1>Office &ndash; Clear Dry Erase Paint</h1> <p>Hi everyone! I&rsquo;m Vanessa Sicotte from Damask &amp; Dentelle. I love to have a whiteboard in an office, but I don&rsquo;t love the way they look. So I went to Canadian Tire and picked up this product called RustOleum clear dry erase paint, It allowed me to create a reusable blank canvas for brainstorming. The cool thing about the clear paint, is that I didn&rsquo;t have to sacrifice the wall colour. Just be sure to only use dry eraser markers.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I cleaned the wall thoroughly with soap and water and let it dry. Then I used some painter&rsquo;s tape to mark the edges of where I was painting. Since I used clear paint, I didn&rsquo;t need to start with primer.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So there were a couple steps that I had to follow. After putting on my gloves the instructions said to mix part A and part B together thoroughly. This is what they call &ldquo;activating&rdquo; the dry erase paint, so don&rsquo;t mix them until you&rsquo;re ready to start painting. Once they were mixed, I only had 90 minutes to paint the wall. I used a dense foam roller to give the wall surface a smooth finish.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>When I started painting with it I was like, &ldquo;Why is it white?&rdquo; But I realized that it dries clear.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>After I was done painting, the wall took about an hour to dry. At that point, I just removed the painter&rsquo;s tape. According to the instructions, I still had to wait 2 more days before I could use dry erase markers on it. Once it&rsquo;s dry you can get creative.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Now you have an entire wall to just get your ideas out, whenever they strike you. Make lists, draw pictures, do some quick math. And when you&rsquo;re done, it wipes off easily with a soft cloth.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Now the office is chic, stylish and functional. I included some coordinated accessories in a complimentary colour, including a vase I painted myself using a cool product called Plasti-dip.
