   I wonder if any of the PCB makers can add dry-erase to a PCB.
   I want a PCB where you can write on it with dry erase marker, damn it

     I'm gonna just design my PCB to fit on/around a small dry erase board, but it'd be color if they could just put the dry erase surface right onto the PCB

     @silvermoon82 I may have to try it out. I wonder if I have any existing PCBs with white on them

     @foone
     A big area of white silkscreen might do it? I've seen that done for eg marking student names, don't know how erasable it would be though.

     @ann3nova probably! I've never tried it.

     @foone ...I had a very random thought. Can you write on a PCB with a soapstone pencil?

     I'm curious.

     @foone I’m in print media and I can say this much : adhesive dry erase film is available in the print industry and we slap it on plastic signs all the time. The same stuff should adhere to circuit-board (g10, garolite)

     The 3M dry erase film is called Post-it Super Sticky Dry Erase Surface and the 3M catalog number is 7100217884

     @foone seems to work (a bit hard to clean between traces tho)

     @foone haven't tried it & away from home, but I got some white solder mask boards from jlcpcb that sure look like they would dry erase. See between the keys here
