Hey guys, I have been watching some old numbers episodes and I saw they have this really cool translucent blackboard. Anyone know where I can buy one of those?

If I'm working on a problem and I'm having trouble with, it can help me to write it out on a board so that it is more isolated, and allows me to stand back and look at it.
Definitely not necessary, but can be nice to have around.

Singularity said:Ok...I have decided to do the DIY thing and get some glass and see what I can conjure up. Now on to the next problem : Finding the stationary. I am assuming I can pick these up from a standard stationary outlet. Hopefully one doesn't have to have them specially ordered.
Translucent blackboards are a type of writing surface that allows light to pass through, making them appear slightly transparent. They are typically made of a clear or lightly colored material, such as acrylic or glass, with a dark backing that creates a contrast for writing or drawing.
Traditional blackboards are made of a dark, opaque material that does not allow light to pass through. They are often made of slate or a dark-colored paint on a hard surface. Translucent blackboards, on the other hand, are made of a clear or lightly colored material that allows light to pass through, creating a different writing experience.
Translucent blackboards offer several benefits, including a unique visual appeal, improved visibility in well-lit rooms, and the ability to use them as a lightbox for tracing or other artistic purposes. They are also easy to clean and do not produce chalk dust like traditional blackboards.
Yes, translucent blackboards can be used with regular chalk, just like traditional blackboards. However, they can also be used with liquid chalk markers or dry-erase markers, which may offer more vibrant colors and easier cleanup. It is important to check the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that the writing utensils being used are compatible with the specific type of translucent blackboard.
The durability of translucent blackboards depends on the material they are made of. Glass blackboards are generally more durable and scratch-resistant, while acrylic blackboards may be more prone to scratches. However, with proper care and maintenance, translucent blackboards can last for many years.
