Slightly off topic, but if you ever write on a whiteboard with a sharpie, you can write over the text with an erasable marker and then wipe it away.
This doubles up as an effective whiteboard cleaner.
Get a real blackboard made of slate and quality chalk. Much higher resolution than markers.
I'm glad they work for you, but out of curiosity, does anyone else find... just about everything about blackboards unappealing? The feel of chalk scratching on the board, the sound, drawing the characters (making curves feels awkward to me), even the chalk dust. I prefer whiteboards in almost every way except for markers drying out. It's one of those things I've kinda never understood why so many people prefer chalkb…

Isopropyl removes all inks and glues. It's incredible. It's also fantastic to wash your hands with when doing cell and tissue cultures and trying to avoid contamination.
It's also similarly great for killing braincells when auto-applied orally
Oh and make sure the label on the ethyl alcohol does not contain the word "DENATURED." That's code for "tastes like shit and makes you sick."

Scratchy chalk is low-quality chalk or poor technique. Every writing instrument has its own techniques. Like how fountain pens work better at a lower angle and lower pressure, and ball-point pens work better at a higher pressure and the angle doesn’t matter so much.

No. You're thinking of ethyl alcohol. If you ingest isopropyl alcohol you're gonna have a bad day. Oh and make sure the label on the ethyl alcohol does not contain the word "DENATURED." That's code for "tastes like shit and makes you sick."
I write directly on the drywall, it's a lifehack that forces you to accept your past ideas and thoughts.
I bought this 4'x3' Black Glass Board back in 2017 for $150! I write with white and neon colored liquid chalk markers and it's the best! Here: https://a.co/d/hlrwPHQ Enjoy it.
