I have purchased some at JoAnn's but they are hard to find and they didn't have the skinny ones in stock. Don't remember the brand. I've only used it once.

Are you thinking of using these on a chalkboard at school? I was in a local restaurant that had a chalkboard done with these and it looked fantastic. I would love to use them at school. BUT, I went to Amazon and read the reviews of several brands and most of them said it was had to remove the chalk and it became permanent. I would hate to explain how I ruined my chalkboard at school! They had Marvy Uchida ones at the restaurant.

I use Chalk Ink on my chalkboards at school. I use a wet sponge to wipe it off. Sometimes you can see the faint outlines of what was up there, but after a few more cleanings it is gone.

No...my niece is doing something for a wedding she is in so if it became permanent it would be ok. I have used white board markers (I think I am the ONLY one without a white board) on my green chalkboard in my room and they do come off.

Thanks for all of the ideas and input! My chalkboard at school is magnetic, so I imagine it is a higher quality one.

I have one by Marvy/Uchida called Bistro. I've only used the white. I wish it came in a finer tip, but it works great on dark paper. I think it is probably what they use on chalkboards you see at restaurants like Chili's.

I have chalkboards at school that I have used them on. My chalkboards are purely decorative and I use them as a background for my anchor charts. Sometimes they will leave a ghost image behind but after a good cleaning they are good to go.
I also have those adhesive chalk board dots in my kitchen. I change out what they say seasonally. I use the chalk ink and it works similar to the above situation.
I think it works best if you are not changing it daily imo.

Does anyone know if you can use them on a wall painted with chalkboard paint? I would love to be able to use these markers.

You can get them at amazon.
