Post-it Dry Erase Surface

This Month's Review: Post-it Dry Erase Surface
Build Brilliant Ideas Together

You want to do some brainstorming, but you don’t have a mounted Dry-Erase board. You want something portable that offers the ability to be reused again and again. We may have a solution. Per the manufacturer, “The Post-it® Dry Erase Surface is designed to stick to a variety of painted drywall and steel surfaces, glass, wood and existing whiteboards or chalkboards. It installs easily — just unroll, peel and stick. It writes smoothly and erases cleanly. From horizontal applications on desks or tables to vertical ones such as windows, the Post-it® Dry Erase Surface can be cut-to-fit and provides endless possibilities for dry erase solutions.”

These are the folks who make post-it notes and they’re pretty awesome, so we figured we’d test it out.

Our findings:

It mounts pretty easily, though it took us a few minutes to smooth out the air pockets.
We wrote on it with dry erase markers (smooth write), and then wiped off half of our message immediately. Removed easily with no ghosting. We figured we’d come back a few days later to remove the rest to see how that works out. See you in a few days…
Ok, we’re back and pleased to say, the surface wiped clean easy as can be.
Removed the Dry Erase Surface and tried it on a window and a door. Applied and removed no problem.

Post-it® has provided an excellent alternative to using tape or self-adhering easel pad sheets. We like the reusability and the mobility. The air bubbles can take some time to smooth out entirely if you’re a total perfectionist and care must be taken to remove from certain surfaces. All in all an economical and smart solution from the folks who brought us the post-it note.
