Graffiti Proof formica
Posted: 8th Mar 2024 at 9:32am
OK,
so I currently have an issue with graffiti of sorts. Our girls toilets are the usual formica type construction cubicles. originally these were bright yellow and red but have been overpainted in fashionable grey!!
My issue is that the little darlings are scratching off the paint, leaving bright yellow profanities showing through the grey. No matter how many times I paint over the navvy esque scrawls, more appears. The HT now refers to the walls as obscene publications. His idea was to cover the cubicles in fablon. My argument is that the children will just pick it off and ... i will need 58 rolls to complete the job.
Any recommendations or ideas on how I can seal or cover these surfaces to stop the scratching etc. Cost is an issue so i need to bear that in mind when i go to the BM with my shopping list !!
BTW this is a primary school. My previous career was 27 years in the Army and let me tell you, these kids could give any squaddie a run for their money when it comes to swear words !!!
