Question

How do I remove a sticker from a chalk board?

Community Answer

Take a steamer and hold it against the sticker with a butter knife in between (don't apply it directly to the chalkboard or it can get scratched). Slowly peel the sticker off and then wipe away any marks it left behind.

WD-40 sprayed on and left to sit will melt most glues. If not, try GooGone from the dollar store or a hardware store.

All three methods can cause injury if care is not taken, so be vigilant. Keep your fingers out of the way of the razor blade.
