Re: Working with new components
We used brand new expo vis-a-vis wet erase thin tip markers and it wiped off the cards with a little bit of water after an hour of use easily.
Dry erase we had used previously wiped off with any incidental contact on the cards and was not useful. They were also thin line tip. |

Re: Working with new components
I ran into an unexpected issue with dry erase markers: I absent mindedly used one to make a mark on my Chessex battle mat and it was very hard to get off, even with solvents.

Re: Working with new components
Chessex mats are specifically for water soluble OHP markers. I have permanent marks on mine because I did not pay attention to that fact.

The pity is that this is such an easy mistake to make. I have both wet- and dry-erase markers in the same Expo brand. I picked up the wrong ones in the heat of battle. I am making a deliberate effort to segregate these types going forward. A better cleaning solution Try rubbing the marks off with Magic Erasers. Those are the white looking sponges that are amazing at gripping and easily removing soap scum from you bathroom. Effect: They will lighten the marks. They can remove marks with intense use in a small area. (You are supposed to moisten the erasers first.) Unfortunately, I had drawn some lengthy river boundaries on my mat. And it's impractical to completely remove that much markup. Also beware; the more you use the eraser the likelier you are to fade the grid lines on your mat as well. |

Re: Working with new components
I used Sharpie on my Chessex hex mat--to convert it to Megahex format. I think i've given it up though due to the size incompatibility.

Re: Working with new components
Here's another quandry for the hive mind: How do you store your Dyson Logos rubber battle mats when they are not being used? They are such great components but they are also a pretty unusual material and I'm not sure what I should be doing to keep them in good shape.

Re: Working with new components
I don't own any, but if they're actually made out of rubber, then general rules for storing rubber things should work:
