Any chalk is fine I'm not sure what chalk markets are... This board is very small though barely enough room to fit a 5 letter word

You can use any basic or colored chalk and it will work great! Regular chalk will rub off by touch. A chalk pen is technically liquid chalk and it does takes water and a little rubbing to get it off. I prefer it!

I just used chalk from Walmart. I'd love to use chalk markers (I think that's what businesses use to make signs with lettering last so long) but didn't want to pay for them justt I use them once.

Definitely colored pencils over crayons. Fine markers may work too. I like pencils but keep a sharpener handy to keep a pointed tip. Have fun!

I use either a liquid chalk pen or a chalk pencil that they sell.....(same vendor that sells the labels, I believe) You can also use any color chalkboard chalk. Just be aware that whatever type of chalk/marker you use, they are all very temporary. Any rubbing of the surface or any moisture and they begin to fade quickly.....of course, you can also re-write quickly :) If you are looking for a more permanent type of label, one that can withstand repeated use and even dishwasher safe, look for "Label Once" brand of labels. They have food grade ones that work really well!

I just use chalk you can buy at Target or Walmart. Cleans off with no problem. About once a week I clean it with a damp cloth.

Footnote: they have a special "chalk" (slightly waxy texture). You can use regular chalk. The texture of the slate is not uniformly smooth. It adds to the beauty of the product.

Hi, thank you for your question. While we have several customers who have successfully used our markers on chalk painted surfaces, we do not recommend it. Painted surfaces are typically porous, i.e., the surface has small pores allowing liquid to be absorbed or pass through. This makes it difficult to remove ink from the surface once applied. If you believe the surface on which the chalk paint was been applied is non-porous, please test a small inconspicuous area first to ensure you can remove the ink. Surfaces that are typically porous include wood, plaster, cement, tiles, cork and brick. Our Liquid Chalk erases easily with water on a non-porous surface, i.e metal, glass, slated chalkboards. I hope we have sufficiently answered your question. If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact us, we are here to help. Lilly Morrison - Inspired By Craft

Crayola chalk works great. My 3 year old son finds it easier to hold thick sidewalk chalk. And EXPO white board markers are also very thick and easy to clean. :) Hope that helps!

I used chalk markers and no matter what I try, I cannot erase it completely. There is a ghost of all writing and windex did not work for me. I used serious elbow grease and it's not working.

This won't work At all....you need a permanent marker for that...try looking for a permanent chalk marker in white

You "can" with chalk, though I would only say that might work if you're doing the chalk markers. Dry erase should work fine. The surface is a shiny, slick surface. The maps are high quality and the company responds quickly to email. If you have lingering concerns, contact them. Their info is listed on Amazon.

I actually use a mechanical chalk pencil that I purchased at a fabric store. It has regular chalk in it, but it is a lot thinner since it is supported by the mechanical pencil. It works great on the labels and my chalk cloth table runner!

I used them on a black standard chalkboard. They look great and super vibrant. Just requires some white board cleaner or windex to get it off.

They're exactly like chalk. I uses them on a little chalk board and wiped off the chalk with either a damp cloth or a dry napkin-either works.

I use NeoChalk Liquid Chalk Marker Chisel Tip - White. Works well so far. Good luck.

There is a wet marker you can buy from Michaels or any place like that for like seven dollars or so that goes on wet and drys in a few seconds. Wipes off with a damp paper towel. Works fantastic, is very precise and crisp. I love my chalkboard and the markers are the way to go.
