Where I work a magnetic glass board and more.
A couple of weeks back, I painted a glass board in my office with both magnetic paint and colour paint, so now I've got myself a fancy trousers office magnetic glass board! Remarkable, ideal!? I've wanted to alter my office for a long time, and lastly, it hit me exactly what I desired. So I got Rust-oleum magnetic guide and a large piece of glass board and set off to work!
The magnetic paint was sort of an inconvenience. I probably wouldn't use it ever once again. It was remarkably tough to blend. All the magnetic particles or whatever were simply in a solid three-inch glob at the bottom. My arms were really sore from blending this stuff. (If you select some up locally ask somebody in the paint department to throw it in the mixing device for you genuine quick to make it a bit simpler!) On top of that, it took 2 full cans and what felt like a billion coats to even get it remotely magnetic. I'm really thankful I didn't decide to paint an even bigger location than this, that would have been crazy.
Let's discuss just how much the magnetic primer stinks! I had all my windows open, the fan running, taking all the precautions I 'd generally take when painting. A few hours after I was done painting, I started smelling gas. I called the gas business and commenced a mini go nuts. I got all 4 cats, put them in three providers and pushed them in my car. Then ran back in your home, grabbed a lot of things that were special to me and pulled my vehicle out into the roadway and waited for the gas business to arrive. Almost an hour later the person appears, and I take him into the house. Long story short, he didn't smell anything, his device could not detect any gas, and he asked if I 'd be painting. How humiliating!! I'm not 100% sure why it took so long for the smell to get to me particularly due to the fact that it never ever really smelled in the space I was painting however after I started painting once again with the second can I understood this things does sort of smell like gas.
Anyhow, back to my little job. The next day, after that was all dry, I used the orange colour paint on the glass board, which was a breeze compared to the magnetic stuff. I painted 2 coats and waited on a couple of days before "conditioning" it (which is just rubbing down the entire thing in chalk, so it's much easier to erase.) Easy peasy! I enjoy how it doesn't actually look like I painted the glass board itself but hung a big piece of a coloured magnetic whiteboard.
Despite being a bit of pain in the butt, I'm really happy with how this turned out even if I need to use very strong magnets and everything is now covered in a great layer of chalk dust. Ha! I would not recommend utilizing the magnetic primer if you're searching for something simple, cheap or really strong but the coloured glass board paint is terrific. It's incredibly neat to be able to compose on a large glass board that hangs right on my wall!
Along with that little project, I also cleared out the closet in this space that was home to great deals of random things, a number of which now are at the charity. With that closet clean, I had the ability to move among my clothes racks in there, which maximized a ton of room and made the room SO much better. I stacked my shoe racks, so they took up less floor space and relocated a table for succulents. I'm so happy with this room now. It's incredible just how much of a difference little changes to the office like that can make.
I like this little office of mine, but next time I will utilize an expert company to make me amagnetic glass board!
