grease to clean up after a game, easier to clean up events, and it keeps the
boards from developing colored marks on it, where the coating is thin, or worn
through from use. I don't need the cover with Nippon, so I know I would love the
rest that way, as well.

Rob,

We actually use colored China Markers. These clean off easier than the crayons.
I will not reveal how long I have been using these. :) (Started with EB #1) All
the boards are still fine.

If anyone knows of a source of colored China Markers, I would love a backup set:
Blue, Green, Red, Orange, and Black.

Thomas

I use dry-erase markers, and they work beautifully.  No need to rub very hard to clean up, and it looks the same today as it did years ago when I bought it. ...

Yeah, that's why I prefer wet erase. Dry erase comes off too easily. We used both on the boards before, but blemishes catch the color. I have at least one...
