Although they look very similar and are essentially both tools to communicate with the spirit world, it is more to do with the intentions of whom we would like to communicate with. With an angel board we are requesting to hear from good spirits, guardian angels, the spirits of passed people we know and higher level spirits rather than using a Ouija board as more of a game to contact lower level darker spirits.

I implement the use of crystals with protection qualities as well as burning sage at times to cleanse the environment, myself and the board from negative energies. I usually start a session with a few words of our intentions to communicate, asking for protection from harm. You can also imagine yourself feeling grounded and surrounded by a light of protection. Occasionally an uninvited spirit will attempt to come on the board, if I feel this is a negative energy or we do not wish to communicate I will kindly ask the spirit to leave. 

Spirit decides if and when they want to communicate. We do not usually ask for specific spirits or Angels to come through. We can ask them specific questions that only you or they would know and if they wish to, they will confirm who they are by way of answering your question. Although we usually have a good response from the Spirit world, there is no guarantee that any spirit will communicate. If nothing happens after the first 20 minutes of opening the board, I will close the board and the majority of your session will not be payable.
