Blackboard paint, why keep some on hand

Why would you want this as a SHTF prep? 

Simple, if things go sideways who is going to be making paper and pen's.

 now you can recycle existing paper Click here PDF
 But that is a lot of work for less important notes.

Just a little info about Blackboards Click Here

Now you can grab a can at the hardware store to have on hand or you can learn how to make it. 

How to make blackboard paint

- Paint (of any color or type) and some (you can make your own paint in hard times Click Here for  PDF)
- Non-Sanded Tile Grout  or plaster of paris (but a prepper side note Cement can be used to you can even take the time to ground down a small piece if sideways to make it)
- Simply mix 1 cup of paint and 2 Tablespoons of grout. 

AND
    you have chalkboard paint.  
 And sheet-rock is every where and makes excellent chalk.  

Even if you do not want to grab the ready made paint. Keep a jar of the grout or plaster in you prep's

The uses may not be at the top of must haves in a STHF situation, but a need to get the world back in order.

This can turn plywood into a :
 - School board 
 - Community board
- War board......(which reminds me of the walking dead when Morgan had a map on the wall).

- Even to mark reusable jars and containers

 

- Make smaller boards for kids 
- Make smaller ones to carry with you with directions or what ever list you may need, Even to just write down things you noticed  along the way
