Does Your Rotating Whiteboards Pass The Test? 7 Things You Can Improve On Today

Where I work a magnetic glass board and more.

A couple of weeks back, I painted a glass board in my office with both magnetic paint and colour paint, so now I've got myself an expensive trousers office magnetic glass board! Incredible, right!? I've wished to change up my office for a long time, and lastly, it struck me exactly what I wanted. So I picked up Rust-oleum magnetic primer and a large piece of glass board and set off to work!

The magnetic paint was type of a hassle. I most likely would not utilize it ever again. It was remarkably challenging to blend. All the magnetic particles or whatever were simply in a strong three-inch glob at the bottom. My arms were really sore from blending this things. (If you select some up locally ask somebody in the paint department to toss it in the mixing machine for you real fast to make it a bit easier!) On top of that, it took two complete cans and what felt like a billion coats to even get it from another location magnetic. I'm really thankful I didn't choose to paint an even larger area than this, that would have been crazy.

Let's discuss how much the magnetic guide stinks! I had all my windows open, the fan running, taking all the preventative measures I 'd typically take when painting. A few hours after I was done painting, I began smelling gas. I called the gas company and started a tiny go crazy. I grabbed all 4 felines, put them in 3 providers and pushed them in my car. Then ran back in your home, got a lot of things that were special to me and pulled my car out into the road and waited on the gas company to get here. Nearly an hour later the person appears, and I take him into your house. Long story short, he didn't smell anything, his machine couldn't detect any gas, and he asked if I 'd be painting. How humiliating!! I'm not 100% sure why it took so long for the smell to get to me particularly since it never truly smelled in the space I was painting but after I started painting once again with the second can I realized this things does sort of odor like gas.

Anyway, back to my little project. The next day, after that was all dry, I applied the orange colour paint on the glass board, which was a breeze compared to the magnetic things. I painted two coats and waited on a few days before "conditioning" it (which is just rubbing down the whole thing in chalk, so it's simpler to remove.) Easy peasy! I like how it does not actually appear like I painted the glass board itself however hung a huge piece of a coloured magnetic whiteboard.

Despite being a little pain in the butt, I'm really delighted with how this ended up even if I have to utilize super strong magnets and everything is now covered in a fine layer of chalk dust. Ha! I would not recommend using the magnetic primer if you're searching for something easy, inexpensive or very strong however the coloured glass board paint is fantastic. It's incredibly cool to be able to write on a large glass board that hangs right on my wall!

Along with that little job, I likewise cleared out the closet in this room that was house to great deals of random things, a lot of which now are at the charity. With that closet clean, I was able to move one of my clothing racks therein, which maximized a ton of room and made the space SO much better. I stacked my shoe racks, so they used up less floor area and relocated a table for succulents. I'm so happy with this space now. It's amazing just how much of a difference little changes to the office like that can make.

I love this little office of mine, but next time I will utilize a professional business to make me amagnetic glass board!
