I only thought as far as wanky spray paint.

that thing does not cost much nor does magnetic chalkboard paint neither

chalk just tends to be messy with the powder

and electronics + chalkpowder&watermixture dont work well together

then totaly offtopic https://www.gearbest.com/flush-ceiling-lights/pp_778340.html

nice lamp

Yeah, chalk is 100% out of the question for me.

For home use anyway. I rather like the idea in a school setting.

gearbest doesn not ship whiteboards... but they do have equal sized roof lamps https://www.gearbest.com/flush-ceiling-lights/pp_682978.html

Even so, you'd probably want that to be made of frosted glass, simply for durability.

frosted and tempered or plastic layered

due shatter

you dont want large sharp pieces of glass in your house

well, order one of those lamps and cover it in that pvc thing

Shatter? Don't write like a fucking terrorist.

I think your ghetto door solution is the most feasible though. With the enamel paint.

yeah

does not really need to be door tho

Well no.

just plywood

whats the english term for plywood what has that smooth slippery layer on top of it

just lamin board or ?

resin coated plywood ?

i dunno

film faced plywood ?

Laminated, presumably? Then again, the entire board would be laminate...

yes thats it .. film faced plywood

In any case, you might be better off getting mdf / hdf for that.

probly even tho sanding it smooth enough

or getting smoot enough surface layer of paint

would be pain with HDF

(father used to own hardware store)

I had no big problem with my diy wrist rest. It did absorb a fair amount of primer, and it certainly ended up with a more rough surface than I get the feeling you'll want, but I did want that.

So I stopped sanding at a pretty coarse grit. :p

:P

yeah but imagine sanding something so smooth as whiteboard

(sure the paint helps a litlebit to smooth it but not that much)

also it needs to be equaly smooth across whole area

for smooth drawing

The hdf I had, in retrospect, was pretty smooth. Definitely moreso before I was done with it.

and i only have so much space to work it too ... sawdust in the bedroom.. SO would kill me on that spot
