Season Chalkboard
Rub entire chalkboard with the side of a piece of chalk (Image 1). This will season the chalkboard and prevent writing from being burned into the surface. Erase chalkboard with a wet paper towel for a clean look or with a dry one for a smeared, vintage look. Use chalk or grease pen (chalk ink) to write poems, verses, song lyrics, menus, event details or memos (Image 2).
