Instant whiteboard

April 9, 2005 8:21 PM

Looking for a substitute for these instant whiteboard sheets.

I can think of a whole bunch of uses for these dry erase sheets from Avery, but there's a problem - they don't appear to be available in the UK.

So, does anyone have any idea what these sheets are made of? Or where I can find a substitute?

First, have you tried tracking down the product's source? It's most likely that you could get them shipped some way, hey. Failing that, though, perhaps you could make something similar with this stuff. Not sure how successful that would be of course. Your local paint shop would probably stock it, too.

Best answer: Bic Velleda Self-adhesive Drywipe Rolls sound like they might serve your purpose. The adhesive backing indicates that they're meant to be more of a permanent fixture, but I suppose you could just tack them up without removing the protective paper and then they'd be portable/removable.

Best answer: They are wite vinyl. you can pick up as much as you like from any sign shop that make the cut out vinyl lettering. I know this, because I used to work for one.
