I bought a pack of the Clover House chalk marks a couple of years ago and found that
they would not transfer from the backing sheet no matter what surface I tried to put them on.

Re: Clover House Chalk Marks (An Alternative)
Peter, I can't help you with this problem but as an alternative I recommend using Prismacolor Verithin (not regular Prismacolor) art pencils. I've conducted several 'hands-on" chalk marking clinics

Re: Super Clean Degreaser to remove lettering
Nelson,
The Ghost White is a cartridge that replaces the black. I can switch. I gave a clinic at the Greensberg, PA RPM on the Ghost White. I plan to give it at Winston-Salem’s Carolina RPM
