Disclosed is a writing board attached to a surface for receiving notes or instructions from a user. The writing board includes a vinyl foam, a flexible coating, a temporary backing film, an erase film, and an adhesive layer. The writing board further includes a second temporary backing film. The vinyl foam includes a top surface and a microscopic cavernous surface. The flexible coating is coated on one of the microscopic cavernous surfaces to render the vinyl foam air-tight. The temporary backing film covers the microscopic cavernous surface coated with the flexible coating. A user peels of the temporary backing film to firmly attach the vinyl foam to the surface. The erase film is attached to the top surface of the vinyl foam. The erase film allows the user to write and erase content. The adhesive layer attaches the erase film to the top surface of the vinyl foam.

The invention relates to glass articles suitable for use as writable erasable marker boards. More particularly, disclosed is a strengthened glass article suitable for use as a writable erasable marker boards, wherein the glass sheet exhibits an ion exchanged glass having a front surface and a back surface and exhibiting a thickness of less than 2.0 mm and having a depth of layer (DOL) greater than 20 microns and a surface compressive strength of at least 300 MPa. The strengthened glass article exhibits certain optical properties which render it particularly suitable for use as a writable erasable marker boards electronic including: (1) shadow parallax to thickness ratio of less than 1 measured at a 60 degree incident light angle and for an index of refraction n; and, (2) a haze of less than 50%. Further disclosed is a markerboard with improved magnetic force attributes; sufficient to hold weak magnets in place.
