Aropec’s Writing Slate undoubtedly is excellent for conducting underwater scientific research. But may I suggest an upgrade to the design, incorporating waterproof adhesive note removers?

We were initially hesitant to purchase the Aropec Writing Slate, but it’s proved to be a great investment. The only drawback is that the surface gets smudged easily.
Aisha Lee –
The ‘Pencil’ that comes with the product always leaves ink residue on the slate’s surface. Isn’t there a better erasable pen for underwater use?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Aropec Writing Slate, Aisha. We apologize for the ink residue issue you’ve encountered with the included pencil. Our design team is constantly looking for ways to improve our products, and we appreciate your suggestion for an erasable pen for underwater use. We’ve actually started exploring this option, and we’re excited to announce that it will be available in our upcoming product updates.

Leila Wong –
How long does this product last? And can its durability withstood harsher water conditions?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Leila. The Aropec Writing Slate is built to withstand the rigors of underwater use. Its durable construction can handle regular use and exposure to various water conditions. However, its lifespan may vary depending on individual use cases. In terms of harsher water conditions, such as those found in coral reefs or areas with high water visibility, it’s recommended to take extra care when using the product. Regularly inspecting the slate for any signs of damage and storing it properly when not in use can help extend its lifespan. Would you like to know more about maintenance tips or any other product-related information?
Kaitlyn Chew –
Really handy during deep-sea excursions for underwater navigation and orientation. However, it sometimes tends to float with the slate’s buoyancy?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Aropec Writing Slate, Kaitlyn. We’re glad to hear that it’s been handy during your deep-sea excursions. Regarding the buoyancy issue, we’ve taken note of your feedback and would like to assure you that our team is working on designing a solution to prevent the slate from floating excessively. In the meantime, you can try using a weight or a line to secure the slate to your dive gear. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We appreciate your help in making our products better!
Ryan Ng –
Since it has no attachments that are water-resistant, isn’t there a risk of water getting inside the pen’s tip and causing leakage?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your concern, Ryan. The writing tool provided with the Aropec Writing Slate does indeed attach to the slate, minimizing the risk of water entering the tip. However, it’s essential to maintain the writing tool as you would any other underwater utensil to ensure optimal performance. Regular cleaning and storage in a dry environment can help prevent any potential leakage issues. We appreciate your feedback and value our customers’ input in making our products better.
Charlotte Lee –
How do I clean the Aropec Writing Slate’s surface effectively?
Imran Hanafiah –
Dear Charlotte, thank you for reaching out to us about cleaning the Aropec Writing Slate. To effectively clean the surface, we recommend gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. For any stubborn marks, a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush can be used, making sure to rinse it thoroughly afterwards. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may scratch the surface. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Have a great day!
Elijah Tan –
Is the Aropec Writing Slate suitable for left-handed writers?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out to us, Elijah Tan. Left-handed individuals often require slates with a reversed or diagonal writing orientation to ensure comfort and usability. Unfortunately, the Aropec Writing Slate’s design does not specifically cater to left-handed writers. However, its 18.5 x 15 cm dimensions may still accommodate left-handed writing with minor adjustments. If you’d like, we can offer some suggestions for comfortable and left-handed-friendly writing orientations within the Aropec Writing Slate’s dimensions. Please let us know.
Olivia Tan –
Is the Aropec Writing Slate available in various colors?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out, Olivia. I’m happy to inform you that the Aropec Writing Slate is available in black color and chalkboard color. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come in various colors like red, blue, green, etc. The product is designed in a way that suits most home and office decor with its standard black or chalkboard finish. If you’re looking for a specific color, please let me know and I’ll be happy to help you explore other options.
