Dry Erase Blocks
Hi guys,
We have dry erase blocks in one of our galleries that guests can color and use to design their cities. They are made specially and we currently get about 40 refinished every year. The company we have used in the past is local to our museum and it not available to redo them for us. I am hoping that someone else has a fabricator that would be able to refinish these or that someone else has something similar they use in their museum that we could use in ours. Thanks!
