Why not just get some tileboard? It's $12 for a 4'x8' chunk at Home Depot: http://www.johnmurch.com/2007/10/20/diy-whiteboard-on-the-cheap/ http://www.johnmurch

  Two issues with the $12 tileboard: (1) ghosting: they erase well when new, and when the ink hasn't been there for long, but over time they get murky. (2) mounting: it's not easy to cut to size; it has enough thickness and weight that mounting tape or small tacks are iffy (and prone to failure sometime after installation). The same issues come up for other surfaces short of fairly-expensive true glass. If this 'clearphane' continues to be cleanly erasible after a while in use, or with ink that's been present for days/weeks, then this is a really neat idea I hadn't heard before. I'll definitely be trying it out.

    Well, for ghosting, they're so damn cheap that replacing them isn't a cost concern for anyone but those where ramen profitability is a lofty goal :) But perhaps you could combine the two? Tileboard for a solid white back and this cellophane for a covering to protect against ghosting. Sounds like a winner.
