WHAT SURFACES CAN REMARKABLE™ BE APPLIED TO?

With ReMARKable™, one simple step turns drywall, plaster, metal, tile, or any smooth paintable interior surface into a dry-erase surface. We do not recommend using ReMARKable™ on plastics. Remember, since ReMARKable™ is a coating, the finished surface will only be as smooth as it was before applying ReMARKable™.

HOW DO I PREPARE MY SURFACE BEFORE APPLYING REMARKABLE™?

For surface prep, repair any divots, scratches or bumps on the wall so the surface will be as smooth as possible. If you have applied a fresh coat of paint prior to applying ReMARKable™, make sure to let the paint dry a minimum of 24 hours before applying ReMARKable™. White ReMARKable must be applied over true white paint. The best type of paint to use is ReMARKable™ Tintable Base Paint. Some other satin or eggshell water-based enamel paints will also work. Do not apply ReMARKable™ directly over primer alone. Do not apply Remarkable™ over paints that have additives, i.e. antimicrobials, wetting & dispersing agents, Defoamers, or rheology modifiers. Always test adhesion of basecoat prior to ReMARKable™ application. If you have any questions, call our support center prior to application. Watch our instructional videos here.

DO I NEED A PRIMER?

For best results, use ReMARKable™ over a solid, painted wall. ReMARKable™ Tintable Base Paint is a primer/paint in one.

WHAT COLOR IS REMARKABLE™ WHEN IT DRIES?

ReMARKable™ comes in both clear and white. For a traditional whiteboard effect use the ReMARKable™ white over a previously painted white substrate. If you want to introduce any other color. First, paint your desired color on that area, then apply ReMARKable™ clear, and now you will have a beautiful dry-erase surface. ReMARKable™ white or clear works best when applied over latex paint in a satin or semi-gloss sheen.

CAN REMARKABLE™ BE SPRAYED?

For best results, use a 1/4″ mooth nap, micro fiber, roller.

DOES REMARKABLE™ HAVE AN ODOR?

ReMARKable™ is virtually odorless.

CAN YOU RECOMMEND AN INSTALLER IN MY AREA?

Sure. Contact us through chat or by calling 800-936-2159 for professional installation guidance.

HOW LONG WILL REMARKABLE™ LAST?

With proper maintenance and normal wear and tear, ReMARKable™ retains its dry-erase ability for 10+ years indoors before you ever need to recoat the surface. It’s guaranteed not to crack, peel, stain, yellow or fade with proper use and maintenance.

HOW CAN I REMOVE REMARKABLE™ FROM A SURFACE?

If you ever find that you do not need your ReMARKable™ surface, you can simply paint over it just as you would do any painted wall. Lightly sand the surface, prime and then paint.

HOW DO I CLEAN REMARKABLE™ OFF OF MY HANDS OR OTHER SURFACES THAT I DO NOT WANT IT ON?

To remove ReMARKable from skin, use warm water and soap. To remove ReMARKable from a surface, you will need to use an abrasive material, such as steel wool or sandpaper, to remove the material.

WHAT KIND OF MARKERS CAN I USE ON REMARKABLE™?

ReMARKable™ works with any low odor dry-erase markers.

HOW SHOULD I CLEAN AND MAINTAIN MY REMARKABLE™ SURFACE?

Erase it with a micro-fiber cloth. To accelerate or enhance the cleaning process, use our ECO-Friendly ReMARKable™ Cleaner. Spritz a small amount on the area to be cleaned and wipe with a ReMARKable™ Cleaning Mitt or other micro-fiber cloth. Then wipe with a towel saturated with water to remove any residue. Using a paper towel, dry the surface and you’re ready to write.

HOW SOON CAN I USE THE REMARKABLE™ SURFACE?

ReMARKable™ is ready to use in hours, not days. ReMARKable™ will be ready to write on after 48 hours. If you write on the surface before the 48-hour drying period, it could permanently damage the ReMARKable™ surface. If you are ever unsure, simply test a small section of the ReMARKable™ surface with a low odor dry-erase marker.

WHAT IS THE REMARKABLE™ RETURN POLICY?

ReMARKable™ can be returned within 30 days of original purchase date. Returned product must be unopened and free of tampering. Note: There will be a 25% restocking fee for all returned orders.
