Markers

[Just Another]

They are but there is better stuff you can get... And if that is all you can use it...

[MUSEone]

id recomend ANYTHING Sharpie or Marksalot makes to a toy because think about it, would u want ur shitty tags still up around town once u actually get good and been doing it for a good while?

think about it, ur bitch ass toy tags, and then ur fucking dope tags mixed together on the streets?

i used magnums like fuck when i first started.

[Just Another]

Muse a while back you said the pilot site had pilots for like $1.50... I can't find it... Link?

[Steel!]

i said that.. lemme see if i can find it for ya

[MUSEone]

hmmm....well call me and idiot cause i could of sworn it said $1.50 once before.

http://www.pilotpen-store.com/product_detail.asp?T1=PIL%20SC6600%20BLK

Bombing Science-$4.95
Art Primo- $3.49
Pilot Online Store-$3.79

Art Primo may sound like ur best bet, but i can almost gaurantee ur total cost (w. shipping) is gonna be cheaper by ordering off the Pilot Online Store.

But before u do order, check around ur town for a few local art stores, i could NEVER find them anywhere around me, but then i remembered about this small local art and hoby store we have here, and wat do ya know, they had 3 in stock and the lady told me she should be getting more in soon. Plus i get a student discount so why bother ordering? haha

[Steel!]

haha aight maybe we both did

[saro777]

has ne 1 tried those streetdusters .im fuking hate on the run markers cause there so streaky and just ball. but i tried a street duster and i love that marker it never streaks u just get solid lines i reall recommend that marker.

[MARTYRaz]

o i used them too bk in the day but once i got better i use better shit...just tryin to help james out...

[MUSEone]

only OTR worth getting is the the HTB. imo.

just fill it w. ur own ink.

[MARTYRaz]

i agree...

[Olick]

hmmm....well call me and idiot cause i could of sworn it said $1.50 once before.

[Steel!]

[Olick]

local swapmeat =]

[MUSEone]

i can get mine $1.50 ;)

maybe thats were i got the whole "$1.50" thing from. haha my bad Just.

[MARTYRaz]

wen i used to paint commercial we would get whole boxes of pilots on the sites..use sme for wrk and take a few to the house...

[TheHeartOfARobot]

I know this is going to sound really stupid, but what's so good about those pilot markers as opposed to regular sharpie makers

Like is there anything special you can do wit them or what?

[MARTYRaz]

pilot nibs r better...the ink is better...and you can refill em if you kno how...

[Darkeist]

Pilots are magic markers that have a cop radar in them

[MARTYRaz]

lol

[partofme]

The ink lasts longer.

[Steel!]

basically its superior to sharpies and tons of other brands.

these are the exact same markers that the very first taggers in NY used.. it was the best then and it still is.

[partofme]

Yeah I still need to actually buy one, I tend just to buy up all refills at local art stores and mix them into inks.

[AEROSOL_FEEN]

i use my pilots and mops more than i use all my other shit...

[partofme]

I tend to pretty much only use streaks, and my Coldsweat and burner markers. Haven't had my mops long enough.

[Steel!]

i use my pilots and mops more than i use all my other shit...

worrrrd

[atlok7]

molotow chrome burners, on the run .60, and i get these markers that are like 2 bucks for like 10 markers and they have a really firm chisel tip for smaller handstyle tags. its called straight up DIXON permanent marker. ha nice stuff

[partofme]

Where do you get the dixons. And the chrome burner is god, but i do love how dark the black is.

[Steel!]

lol.. how dark the black is?

yea.. black tends to be dark sometimes

haha

[Clowney-Cakes]

ive got a purple krink marker, writes great and its been buffed a couple times and its still there

watch out with the purple krink, i had 2 and they BOLTH faded in the sun maaaaad fast. could have just been mine tho...

[Olick]

I know this is going to sound really stupid, but what's so good about those pilot markers as opposed to regular sharpie makers

Like is there anything special you can do wit them or what?

thier prolly the best tampon markers youll ever find. thier easy to use. straight up forward on how to refill them. "just unscrew and bam" thier nibs are unbelievably strong.

thier just pretty dam easy to use markers.

thier cheap. good.

thier ink aint so good "thier blue and green will fade unbelievably fast" thier black is oil based and is pretty good agaisnt the weather but not the buff.

word=]

[MARTYRaz]

i had the red burner and it seemd like it separated cz ther was all thiss dried up hard blak shit in it

[TheHeartOfARobot]

Word, thanks for the replies.

I'm gonna hit up Michaels tomorrow and rack A TON of shit. I just started out on graff so I'm trying to get some supplies while still sketching so this way as soon as I get good I don't have to wait to for things to come in the mail and so forth. Anyone got suggestions on what to rack?

If anyone wants anything (from Michaels) I can probably rack it and send it to you in the mail (as long as it doesn't cost me more than like $5 in shipping, or you pay me shipping).

Let me know.

[Olick]

dont be stupid. youll go broke haha

i dont go to micheals much. but youd wanna rack some

1. etch "who cares if you burn urself
2. zigs
3. pearlex
4. daubers
5. cans
6. w/e u find interesting hahah.

[MARTYRaz]

get me sme decos dog

[partofme]

well you could look but I feel nice ima give you a "shopping list"

Decocolor paint markers
Prismacolor markers
Zig 2 way glue pens.
Martha Stewart glue pens
Spray Paint
Blackbooks
Stampendous stamp cleaners (make mops look in the how to)
Oil based paint
shit loads more decos
Linseed oil if you wanna make your own paints,
more martha stewarts
krylon flat black

don't get caught

[AEROSOL_FEEN]

for me, half of that list is in cases or you gotta ask the clerk for it lol

[Olick]

everyone always racks the prismas before i get thier.

gets annoying haha. i just find empty boxes =[

[partofme]

haha mines all out for the taking. i want one of those 30mm 2ways

[MARTYRaz]

tragedy olick

[Olick]

main reason why i never color my sketches

[atlok7]

Where do you get the dixons. And the chrome burner is god, but i do love how dark the black is.

i got them at a art and craft store magazine. but they prolly sell them at any art store. their super low budget but gnarley. and yeah i know what you mean. its like a thick pitch black

[partofme]

mhm more so even than the cold sweat

[Sintakz]

haha mines all out for the taking. i want one of those 30mm 2ways

If you don't see them in the store just go up to the cashier and be like, " Excuse me may I talk to your manager?" then explain to him about the 30mm Zig 2 ways and ask if he can put an order in for you as you'd like to buy some. He'll/She'll more than likely say ok and then let you know when the shipment will arrive (which will also help because you know when they get all their new supplies so you can rack them fresh out of the box). Then just go back to the store the day it should have arrived and rack them as well as pay for 1 just in case because the manager will get really suspicious if they all went missing and not one was paid for. DONE. This can be done with ANY product pretty much. Enjoy.

They're display boxes dog, they used to have prismas at the michaels here, but they got racked so many times they put up display boxes.

but I completely forgot to leave the part about "for trade as long as shipping isn't more than 5"

my badd

but thanks for the list Olick and PartOfMe

[Just Another]

Yeah whenever I go to Michaels, they never have the color prismas I need. Which is usually new blacks...

[NEKEL1]

does anyone kno where i can get marker supplies from in the uk??
apart fom atlantis in whitechaple and london graphics centre the security is toooo tight like i got a couple markers frm atlantis but i dont kno how i got away with it lol

[Enmity]

http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/8959/dtwot3.jpg

these are amazing .

[Passleoinj]

i just racked one and yes , those are better than the pilot's silver foreal

[Enmity]

it ran out and i threw a little bit of (super thin) GK silver in there .. time to hit the streets

[partofme]

I dunno about those but the pentouch whites suck. Its better than a pentel white though cause they go everywhere

[Just Another]

Pentel whites are the shit end of story...

[partofme]

Mine always flows paint everywhere...

[sir.one]

i've never had any luck with pentel whites.

[partofme]

The flow isn't consistent, But I think emptying it into a bag and huffing could yield better results :p

[Just Another]

The flow is consistent if you aren't juicing the nib in the tag...

[pearson]

Anyone tried the Molotow Masterpiece?

[Rambooboo]

which is that

[Just Another]

the 60mm nib

[Rambooboo]

well if it has the same stuff in it as the 620p its ink or paint will suk

[Steel!]

naw its this new one they have.. supposed to have a really smooth and thick line.. and i think it also has its own type of ink thats new also. havent used it yet so idk if its any good tho

[Just Another]

you could do throwies with that thing... It is BIG...

[Steel!]

for sure.. i mean the only places where u would have decent space do use it u might as well just use spraypaint.. its that big

[H3TT1NG3R]

hahahah 6cm? shitttt

[MontanaPainter]

waste

bigger=more toys getting seen

[Steel!]

http://molotow.com/magazine/product-news-archive/news/article/masterpiece-is-born-2/

21 months of research my ass.

its a big fucking marker. how does that take 21 months to come up with?

[partofme]

Yeah i'll take a black rusto and a rusto fat instead.

[atlok7]

dude yeah its just like any other marker except 10000908856x sweeter

[Just Another]

Except it is not... I would take a pentel white over it any day...

[Steel!]

haha.

have u seen pentels pens? there basicaly regular pens tho its the same stuff in their little bottle. and instead of pumping the nib like a regular paint marker u just shake it.. kinda weird but i think its dece

[letsg0skate]

http://molotow.com/magazine/product-news-archive/news/article/masterpiece-is-born-2/

21 months of research my ass.

its a big fucking marker. how does that take 21 months to come up with?

it took them 20 months to realize "hey let's make a bigger marker!" then the last month they were trying to decide if it should be big or reallly big

haha seriously though I might buy it if its like 12 dollars or less.

[Sintakz]

The "masterpiece" is molotow's attempt at making their version of the Uni-wide but it still comes up short in comparison.

[Steel!]

as long as were on the topic.. what markers would u guys suggest as an alternative to the masterpieceofshit

[Headsplitter]

as long as were on the topic.. what markers would u guys suggest as an alternative to the masterpieceofshit

Rack up a zig, bingo dauber, kiwi, martha stewart, pilot, etc.

Make your own ink.

Insert into desired marker.

Go bomb.

Stop buying markers, the only thing you'll ever need to buy is ink. (If you want some high quality hard-staining shit.)

[Vagrant]

vhs cassette marker

[Darkeist]

How do you make a marker out of that? Thatd be hard to carry, arent those like giant balck boxes?

[Vagrant]

lol.. thats some hardcore born in the late '90s and grow up in the new millenium shit right there.. "aren't those like giant black boxes, what's a cassette tape? 8-tracks??? whhaa???? VINYLS!?" which makes you like 10

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/VHS_cassette_with_ruler.jpg/200px-VHS_cassette_with_ruler.jpg


gives you like a 7 inch by 1 inch mark. huge caligraphy tags


VHS MARKER
Ok. Here's the recipe.

Materials:
VHS tape
screwdriver
exacto knife
craft glue gun and glue sticks (or epoxy)
duct tape
lots of your favorite ink
old sock, or other filler
2 chalkboard erasers

You are better off getting one of the VHS tapes with the plastic sleeve, since that's inkproof. First, you pull off the cover that protects the exposed tape. This is where the chalkboard erasers will go. Next, unscrew the tape and take everything out. What you want to do now is use the duct tape and epoxy to seal off the interior, so it won't leak all over you. Don't put the tape back together yet. You need to cut all the plastic junk out, so you can stuff the tape case with filler, and insert the eraser felt. Use the utility knife for this. Remember! Cut away from yourself, so you don't sever an artery or something. Once you're pretty sure the felt will fit into the marker, put it together and seal the edges with the epoxy, and then tape over it.
Ok. We're about halfway there. Now that you have a completely sealed container for your ink, you can cut up your filler and stuff the tape with it. The less you put in, the drippier your marker will be, since there's less to soak up the ink. 3/4 full is a pretty good amount. Now you're ready to put in the nib, or marking surface. Cut up the chalkboard eraser so that it fits into the space. You have to use a full one, and cut some from the second to fill up the remaining space. Once you got this all together, you can epoxy it in place. If you want it to hold together longer, epoxy all the eraser pieces together. Sometimes they fall apart if you don't do this. Make sure the epoxy makes a nice seal around, so all your ink doesn't leak out when you try to write.
Now you can fill with ink and start writing. Have a lot of ink, because it takes a lot to fill this bad boy. Use the tape case as a cover.

[Darkeist]

I know what they are. I just thought you might have been talking about something else. Because carryign that around just seems awfully akward

[hazetheone]

awkward/retarded

[Yuckasfuck]

The "masterpiece" is molotow's attempt at making their version of the Uni-wide but it still comes up short in comparison.

What you mean by this Sintakz?
Are uniwides not tampon markers?
I think this is more molotow just making a marker 10mm wider than the widest valve marker, the biggie 50's.

[tagger12]

wat if i put ink in a highlighter marker? will it work as well as anything else?

[H3TT1NG3R]

^well just keep the little liek cotton thing inside and use a dropper to put ink on it untill it doesnt take any more, then it should work, but i havent tried

[partofme]

just rack a zig and fill it.

[MUSEone]

wat if i put ink in a highlighter marker? will it work as well as anything else?
why? why would u even bother? if ur THAT desperate for a marker just rack a window paint marker.

[Jihad]

yo, i have a one of those huge shitty "sir" marks alots and when i got it i noticed that theres just a whole with a nib in it. the strange thing is about this, is that the nib DOES NOT completely cover the fucking hole. SO, i put indian ink in there and figured hey ill just glue it. I stoped because i wanted to ask you guys what you though I should use the fill the excess space around da nib, na mean playa...


ALSO MY *****S, if i wanted to make a nib out of a sock how would i do that.

ps- i know about the chalk eraser nib action shit i just wanna know something i can do now because 1 i do not posses a eraser nib action shit and uhh i have that ink sitting there with out that cap on.

[H3TT1NG3R]

^do not use a sir marks a lot, ive trie a long time ago, it leaks liek shit, and suycks anyays

[Yuckasfuck]

Jihad man what the fuck are you saying? lol
MA *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p

[Tokenkaligreens]

ya dont bother with a marks alot.

[Rambooboo]

if you want some thing like it get sharpie magnum they are at least decent and easily rackable to refill just cut em open

[Darkeist]

Or just get a fucking window writer.

[acereborn]

if you want some thing like it get sharpie magnum they are at least decent and easily rackable to refill just cut em open

are you fucking joking? those are horrible

and why would you bother to cut them open, theres like 273627813678 markers that are designed to be refilled

christ

[Darkeist]

Exactly, theres no point in getting a marker that you have to cut open. Just get one that you can refill and refill it.

[Tokenkaligreens]

yup

[acereborn]

make a zig
they're easy, and work well

EDIT: MOD a zig

[kog_throwie]

you cant make a fucking zig

[acereborn]

mod is what i meant

[kog_throwie]

ill mod your brain.

[smooth_nuts]

kog your just a fucking post whore....

i like the big marksalot marker cause you can easily pop the back off and fill em with good ink,and they have a great size nib...magnums are ok marker but fade after a month or two....the best tampon marker i'ves ever used*drum roll please*PILOTS!really though a black pilot=sex in a marker but what ever....

[H3TT1NG3R]

^haha u joined after him, and he still has les posts than you....so your the post whore, whore

[Darkeist]

Word smooth, pilots are the bomb


and hettinger, it doesnt matter. hes saying that kogs a postwhore because kog is just posting over stupid shit when he could have just ignored it.

No beef to anyone

[H3TT1NG3R]

i see.

[acereborn]

H3TT1NG3R, your kinda the post here in this situation lol
1 month and 100 posts?
*no beef*

Anyway, I love dalo's. Bright, lots of colours, writes on everything, etc.
I've never tried a marksalot marker, but I dislike markers that aren't made specifically for writers.

Again, zigs are the shit.

[Darkeist]

I really want to pick up a dalo, but fuck paying for it. Ill just wait until i can trade or pick one up around here at a store. But they definitly look dope

[Sintakz]

no marker is made specifically for writers dude, writers just decided "Hey, this marker works nice" and then graff stores started using the same body with a different sticker on it.

[tgc!mtown]

not true plenty of markers are made specifically for writers. for example. otr. and im sure there are more

[Sintakz]

otr markers are based off of shit like zigs, sharpie magnums, and shit like that. Hell I think the only thing OTR has made that is "designed" for writers is the mini pump markers.

[partofme]

So which way do you turn a pilot to open it, I finally picked one up today but it's blue so i wanna throw some black refill in.

[Sintakz]

to the right, it's opposite of the "Left loosey, righty tighty" rule

[smooth_nuts]

Word smooth, pilots are the bomb


and hettinger, it doesnt matter. hes saying that kogs a postwhore because kog is just posting over stupid shit when he could have just ignored it.

No beef to anyone

haha dark you done beat me to it ;)...atleaste when i post it in same way comtributes to the conversation.....ah well


so any one see these new krink black fine liners.....i just saw em on **** looks just like the bullet tip mighty markers(they more then likely are haha) http://arromark.com/products/pens/pm16.html

edit*i believe pilos arent like zigs they twist off like you said "leftyloosey right tighy" but idk its been a while since i had a pilot been rokcing the mini mop lately :D

[acereborn]

those paint markers look pretty ill
the only problem is that they only sell in minimum of 12/box
it doesn't look like it holds a ton of paint either

whatever lol

[partofme]

are pilots glued like zigs? cause this is a bitch.

[-des-]

if you want some thing like it get sharpie magnum they are at least decent and easily rackable to refill just cut em open
Why even cut em open? I just racked 2 of em today! those things are mad easy to rack.

[acereborn]

If someone cut them open, it would be to put some real ink in them.
I don't see a point in that though, because they suck, and its a waste to cut it open, then seal it up, etc.

Isn't like everything easy to rack nowadays?

[partofme]

just pull out the nib then and pour it in that way or syringe or dropper it.

[dcite]

Why even cut em open? I just racked 2 of em today! those things are mad easy to rack.

well if you actually took a second to think before you posted you would realize that he was not talking about racking tactics that involved cutting things open. he was in fact talking about cutting them open after racking them. keep bragging though, it's working well.

[smooth_nuts]

are pilots glued like zigs? cause this is a bitch.
pilots are made to be refilled so to answer your question no they're not glued shut :p

[Steel!]

but yea they are a bitch to open. use some pliers or something..

[Jihad]

yo, i have a one of those huge shitty "sir" marks alots and when i got it i noticed that theres just a whole with a nib in it. the strange thing is about this, is that the nib DOES NOT completely cover the fucking hole.

yeah thanks for answering my question(with a bunch of shit i already knew) haha its cool though, thanks anyway i appreiated. i was actually really trying to see if anybody had a ghetto ass McGiever shit they could fill me in on, if you know what im saying (for the retards that don't know what im saying, im talkin about a made up mod for the marker). I've just got a black and blue woodcraft today.


HEADS UP-If anybody has a FOOT ACTION shoe store around them, go to it. They've got these shoe polish mops that are 5 & 1/4in. and a little bit fatter than woodcrafts(yess with the cap ooon). the shoe polish is white, which is good for lightening up colors if you leave like 20% or less(whatever you want sucka) and the little shits are easy to rack. FOOT ACTION seems to only have two people working at there at all times so its pretty tight. you guys should check it out if you haven't already. i personally find that the kiwi bottles aren't comfortable and i want something that feels like im holding my own meat, na' sayin kid ? just kidding, but seriously, i perfer the marker-like-structure of this one. I've made two of them and they work great. They have the pump system in them but you can just cut that out if you want mad drip. i haven't seen anything on this site about it so, id figure id say something.

[Olick]

but yea they are a bitch to open. use some pliers or something..

and thier reverse threaded too


just tryin to help son

[H3TT1NG3R]

they are NOT reverse threaded, they ARE glued shut, just use a some pliers, then pull off the glue, then itll be easier later

[Olick]

o my bad. i got confused with the unipaints.

[MUSEone]

they are NOT reverse threaded, they ARE glued shut, just use a some pliers, then pull off the glue, then itll be easier later

just use ur hands. how fucking weak are u kids? haha

[-des-]

Just racked me a kiwi today, whats the easiest and most effective ink to make?

[kog_throwie]

[smooth_nuts]

Just racked me a kiwi today, whats the easiest and most effective ink to make?

[anti-anti-crime]

it obviously says its the marker thread.

[Rogue]

Hahahahaha

[MontanaPainter]

hey why does my marsh always dry up in my zig?

[Just Another]

You dont put the cap on it...

[MontanaPainter]

no,like i have put the cap on and everything its happened 4-5 times

[Enmity]

maybe you should tag more

[MontanaPainter]

i dunno....

i go out during the weekends for 4-5 hours with a friend or two.
its probaley cuz i never use them.

damn marsh

[Enmity]

i keep my markers laying down ..they dont dry out

[MontanaPainter]

damn u enmity. your avatar of w/e keeps on laughing at my post count

[Darkeist]

I heard that there was a window writer out there that is basically the same thing as.. http://www.bombingscience.com/catalog.htm?item=4001&ret=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bombingscience.com%2Fcatalog. htm%3Fpage%3D1%26category%3DMarkers

i was wondering if anybody had seen it? and if not, do you know what BS shows up as on the credit card?

[acereborn]

I've heard it shows up as B. Science.

Not sure about that window writer though

[Sintakz]

I wish I still had my statement to tell you...

[smooth_nuts]

darkeist-its called Poster painter:squeezable markermade by houston art,inc. www.houstonart.com , got the info right off the marker haha,its the same nib but the bodies are slightly different....

[MARTYRaz]

this looks good..http://www.houstonart.com/paint%20applicator.asp

[Steel!]

ok i have a marker related question: say a friend of yours goes to the closest store with pilot markers which is 40 minutes away from where u live and doesnt rack you any. is the correct punishment to shoot out his kneecaps or cut off his testicals? just theoretically of course.

[smooth_nuts]

this looks good..http://www.houstonart.com/paint%20applicator.asp bleh that ones just a kiwi what you want is the poster painter its has the same nib as the mop darkeist posted earlier :D

[acereborn]

ok i have a marker related question: say a friend of yours goes to the closest store with pilot markers which is 40 minutes away from where u live and doesnt rack you any. is the correct punishment to shoot out his kneecaps or cut off his testicals? just theoretically of course.

dont be silly, of course its ok

[H3TT1NG3R]

[MUSEone]

no shit haha go check tha inventory thread ;)

[SAID]

I heard that there was a window writer out there that is basically the same thing as.. http://www.bombingscience.com/catalog.htm?item=4001&ret=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bombingscience.com%2Fcatalog. htm%3Fpage%3D1%26category%3DMarkers

i was wondering if anybody had seen it? and if not, do you know what BS shows up as on the credit card?

if you've ever seen the grog squeezer marker,
its the EXACT same body and nib.
they just get it in black plastic instead of clear.

[smooth_nuts]

since we're talking abotu the squeezer 25 thought i'd post this review by man codesucht
--------------------
Well folks, our first Mop review here on the Writers Room forum!

What mop is it? It's the Squeezer Mop 25, found on Bombing Science. (between you and I, it's about the only good thing there. The shop that is)

Well here are some pictures.

The body is Highly Squeezable. Very desired feature in mops!


The nib..
Very endurable material. Great Nib!
Provides solid lines!

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee46/sublime_terrorist/DSCN3327.jpg



The body, as you can see, is quite large, making for a Maximum ink Capacity
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee46/sublime_terrorist/DSCN3328.jpg


Filling it was easy, as with most mops
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee46/sublime_terrorist/DSCN3329.jpg



As I said, Solid Solid Solid lines, without squeezing

And now, the final, Beautiful Product...

[Sintakz]

It's got a 33mm nib right?

[SAID]

chyea i got one.
doesnt work well with paint mixtures though even though its a squeeze.
fill it with ink though, writes real good.

[k 126]

rogue probably knows the site where to get them dirt cheap.

[Olick]

but ur forced to buy them wholesale.

[Sintakz]

yea, that is the downside to it but in the end it's worth it if you sell them to toys.

[k 126]

yea, that is the downside to it but in the end it's worth it if you sell them to toys.

I'm not dissing you,but you're saying is that people that buy them off bs are toys.

[Steel!]

...they kinda are

[Mime1]

Be jealous...

The new **** colors ?

[k 126]

those look good,but window chalk markers are the ishhhhhhhhhh.

[Sintakz]

I wasn't trying to say that (although it kinda does hold true) I was saying that you could buy them in bulk, keep what you want, fill the rest with paint/ink and sell them to toys around your town, school, church, w/e

[MUSEone]

The new **** colors ?

No.

[Steel!]

are they as good as sex?

[MUSEone]

fo sho.

[Steel!]

have any idea what the price tag will be?

[MUSEone]

Cant say. Srry.

[Tokenkaligreens]

lets know how they hold up muse. (ink/paint wise)

[Meko, ya heard?]

aye yo can anybody tell me where i can get markals for cheap here in the u s of gay? thanks a load

[Tokenkaligreens]

aye not a clue but there are alot better markers out there that are more available. Try all your local art and craft stores you may get lucky.

[Meko, ya heard?]

aye there's like meanstreaks and shit but i have some of those man and like there was this industrial place that supposedly sells sakuras but they're always "out". what better markers do you mean?

[MUSEone]

Pilots....

EDIT: Token, yea man, ill keep ya nigs posted.

[partofme]

I found a new marker with a mo hair thats like the 25. its not a squeezer but the window glass markers at hobby lobby on clearance make a nice mop with a wide tip. i also picked up two washable paint markers cause all these were 29 cents. they are also mo hair but are skinnier than an **** mop which makes some cool writing imo ill post pics later.

[Case-One]

what section is that shit in?

[partofme]

the clearance which at my store is in the back right corner. Their clearance tends to be better than Michaels.

[Rambooboo]

is hobby lobby they have shit like that in the back

[Case-One]

cool i'll check it out

[partofme]

yeah I hopefully will fill em tonight.

[letsg0skate]

haha I found some washable markers at the dollar store and they are really dope if you fill em up yourself they are like **** mini mops, maybe were thinking of the same one

[partofme]

which type of dollar store.

[acereborn]

the type of dollar store that sells stuff for a dollar.......

[partofme]

well we have dollar general, family dollar, dollar tree, etc. so thats why I asked....

[acereborn]

so..... try them? the internet isnt your only resource

[Darkeist]

what inks would be the best inks to use in a marsh fountain pen?

they look dope

http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=yn0&q=marsh+fountain+brush&um=1&ie=UTF-8

[MUSEone]

Probably Marsh...

[Rambooboo]

can you buy marsh at hobby lobby or michaels or ask rhem to stock it

[Sintakz]

Probably Marsh...


hahahahahahhaha roflmao, wow, two words and I nearly pissed myself. good on ya.

[MUSEone]

I try ;)

[partofme]

I have two cause i got em dirt cheap, and one didn't have a cap. I have marsh and grog in it and it flows nicely.

[letsg0skate]

well we have dollar general, family dollar, dollar tree, etc. so thats why I asked....

I'm pretty sure it was dollar tree or small chance it was family dollar. Just looks in like the coloring book area and it will be like a normal looking marker but it says "washable paint marker" then just pop off the nib and refill

[partofme]

Gracias for that, BTW make sure you realize how big a fountain brush is before you buy one who ever mentioned it.

[Rambooboo]

doesnt crayola have some http://www.crayolastore.com/product_list.asp?SKW=CRAPAINTBRU
LMAO HAHA

[partofme]

That shit would be messy as hell with ink, mebe it could actually work with paint.

[jay-doubleyou]

Its probably been asked before, but what are the OTR marker tips made of? Buying individual tips sucks ass. I just wanna make my own tips.

[acereborn]

im pretty sure its the foam nibs, youll have trouble making them yourself

you could always just throw a sock over it when it gets used

[Sintakz]

Um.... no.... they are made of felt. To make felt you need to start with wool, that's all you're getting, go find out for yourself.

[acereborn]

Haha, I don't know why I said foam, I guess it just came out wrong.
And I'm a dumbass :)

[Lie]

Materials
1. Platic Pipe (the diameter is up to you..)
2. Pipe lids (can be found where you buy pipes )
3. Carpet
4. Sponge
5. Paint
6. Knife, Screwing Tool, Sandpaper
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/toozler/marker/Dsc01456.jpg
1. Cut the pipe into the size you want (i don't recommend larger than 10cm). Use the sandpaper to smooth the borders of the pipe.

2. Use the screwing tool (i'm not sure if thats the name), to create a screw on the pipe, so you can later on attach the lid. Do it on both sides, because you need a lid for the carpet/sponge tip, and another lid to refill the marker.

You can also paint the pipe (spray paint works) right now, or can do it later on.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/toozler/marker/Dsc01460.jpg
This is how it should look
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/toozler/marker/Dsc01461.jpg
3.Now the tricky part.. Depending on what kind of paint you're using, the carpet X sponge ratio will change. If your paint is very THICK, then you must use a lot more of SPONGE. Probally you will have to try a few times before you find the perfect ratio, so your marker won't be dripping or impermeable.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/toozler/marker/Dsc01462.jpg
In this case, i was using a very thin paint, so thats why i'm using a lot of carpet. Roll the carpet, with the sponge inside, and place it inside the pipe.
Make sure its tight, or it's gonna fall. If it's not tight, add more sponge or carpet.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/toozler/marker/Dsc01463.jpg
Inside the pipe:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/toozler/marker/Dsc01464.jpg
4. Rub the tip on the sand paper, or on a cement floor, so it will be smoother. (never forget to do this step if you're using a lot of carpet)

5. Fill your marker, and put the lids on . Remember to always have the lid on, and the tip down.

Thanks to toozler from sr forums for this

It seems good, i might try it :)

[MontanaPainter]

WAY TOO much work
stampendous ftw

[bountyhunter113]

yo, the nib on my Deco got all dried out coz i lost the cap.........wut should i do to make the nib moist again? and wut should i use as a replacement cap?

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

any one ever seen these?...they come in mad colors but the ink is madd thick..you can use the ink it has in it but you have to thin it out..but for this demonstration i jus emptyed it out and use my own ink..
http://i32.tinypic.com/xd9lbl.jpg

comes with a twist of top...you can pull the nib out and re-fill when needed..smaller than most MiNI MOPS...you can get drips if you want just squeeze
http://i27.tinypic.com/34ra893.jpg

http://i27.tinypic.com/106g8hu.jpg


Heres one i did this time i took the paint out of some silver uni's and threw it in one


http://i26.tinypic.com/16kxiky.jpg

[brandonb5269]

yo, the nib on my Deco got all dried out coz i lost the cap.........wut should i do to make the nib moist again? and wut should i use as a replacement cap?

next time ur at ur local store, pop open another deco and pull the nib out and take the cap. or just rack another one. u could try soaking the nib in sum thiner, and for a cap find another old marker or sumthign that fits over the end of the marker and just wait till u go get sum new decos

[bountyhunter113]

yea the reason it's dried out is coz i tried putting another cap on it and it doesn't create like a vacum thingie that a real Deco cap does......neways, i don't got ne paint thinner, should i soak the nib in alchohol or sumtin?

n ya, i'ma try to go racking during spring break

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

yea..jus soak it in alchohol...i think theres a thread on how to fix a dryed out nib though..

[Rambooboo]

how the hell does the cap make a vaccuum

[H3TT1NG3R]

^because if its airtight, and its just a push on cap when u pull it off it wants to pullthe ink out, and when u push it in it forces it to leak

[Rambooboo]

oh that cool except for the fact that my marker might shit on me

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

Here are some Pentel Markathon markers...colors are red, blue, black, green..all the colors ive seen...
they come in chisel top, bullet tip..

it has a pump action on the top called a color recharger for when the nib gets dryed out..you can press the top to let ink into the tip
the body is also see threw so you can see how much ink is in it

heres the chisel tip...ya its been beaten up lmaoo

http://i26.tinypic.com/6h02lw.jpg

it writes descent size

http://i30.tinypic.com/1zxva1d.jpg

http://i25.tinypic.com/2qlsr4z.jpg


heres the Bullet tip...chisel tip on top...bullet tip on bottom

http://i29.tinypic.com/286sbvn.jpg

http://i26.tinypic.com/156yaky.jpg


Overall good quality ...the red fades way way to quickk..and the black doesent fade at all...and it dries pretty shiny

[Rogue]

I have a bunch of those in blue.

There dope. And free.

Big Lots kiddies

[sir.one]

does it drip?

[Rambooboo]

naw my friend has a black one and it doesnt drip

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

naa they dont drip...

the blue and red fade mad quick....basically the black is the best one

i did a tag in blue with that and after a while the only thing i could see was the top part of my R..because alot of ink came out when i put it on the surface...but there all sick tho..the blue is jus sexyyyyy..

[Rambooboo]

^^lol

BUMP BUMP

[Vagrant]

yeah i found one of those and posted about it a long time ago:

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd274/vagrantone0/Minimop.jpg

i emptied it and added basic pen ink. its one of my favorite mops since its so small. very good for clean, dripless tags
note: the sharpie was just for a size comparison

[MUSEone]

U said u found it at Big Lots right?

[H3TT1NG3R]

ya its there

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

ya big lots...they hav mad colors...you can use the shit thats in it ..but be prepared for alot of thinning..

but you can get drips if you want..

[Bomber101]

A marker I made out of scratch a few hours ago:
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l283/kim_esgasane4209/graff002.jpg
all it is is just a blistex chapstick tube(with the metal ball) and some homemade pen ink.

The results(i'm still a toy btw):
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l283/kim_esgasane4209/graff006.jpg
sorry for the crappy image quality....

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

its good jus wack because it writes so thin...might as well use a deco..LOLZZ

[Bomber101]

now that you mention it, it does. But this is just slightly bigger lol

[MUSEone]

its good jus wack because it writes so thin...might as well use a deco..LOLZZ

Same tiny line, but if u use ur own ink, stains harder. ;)

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

^^ true

in the city its go hard or go home..

[Vagrant]

maybe you could take the metal ball out and replace it with a mop nib, might get better results?

[Yuckasfuck]

Yea that seems like the first thing i'd do lol, unless it works well....
If you fitted a valve under the ball it'd be sweet, had a similar idea a while back n u basically get a homemade dalo minus the pressure.

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

i have a question bout dalos...do they dry on the surface thick...or flat ?

[MUSEone]

[H3TT1NG3R]

ayo if u take the bottle of lotion tht comes with the sample pack of proactiv shit, take off the top, and the kiwi tip fits perfectly in, makes it more mini, then just take a film canister, and put tape around the lotion bottle until the film canister cap fits on snugly

[Just Another]

People were making those like last year... Meaning a year ago...

[H3TT1NG3R]

really? with proaciv botles too? haha sorry i thought i was bieng smart

[Just Another]

Yeah people had them because of their girlfriends and shit...

[letsg0skate]

Will **** ink flow through a woodcraft? It's partly an ink question partly a marker question so I asked it here because everyone in the ink thread likes to trip over questions that are actually relevant to the topic ;]

[partofme]

Yes **** will flow fine.

[letsg0skate]

ok thanks^

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

what does the O in **** stand for ?...OvationInk ?..lol it secretly has to mean somethin..lol

[partofme]

i think its our ink. cause thats what james's email says.

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

yea i knew it stood for sumthin

[BaSiC222]

I don't know if this is where I should ask this question but here it goes do any of you guys know where in the USA you can get dalo markers I'd like to know what stores carry them I've checked home depot, lowes, and tractor supply so any ideas would be helpful

[Sintakz]

You won't find them in normal stores. They are for industrial writing and shit so you'd have to find a place that supplies stuff for construction and shit. Or just order em.

[acereborn]

or check out a local graff shop, lots should have them

[Steel!]

if u have a local graff shop..

as long as were on the subject of industrial markers.. are there any places u can go to get meanstreaks and sakuras? (saukuras preferably)

would lowes or any other hardware store carry them?

and if not.. what kinda stores sell construction supplies

[smooth_nuts]

home depot has meanstreaks and so does office depot i've heard that michales has sakuras but i've never seen em there :(

[BaSiC222]

I know lowes and home depot carry lumber crayons but as for sakuras specifically I'm not sure

[hazetheone]

michaels has sakura brand stuff but not like the solid ones
just paint markers and a permanent marker line

[Case-One]

you know of any other brands like sakura

[hazetheone]

your sig

[BaSiC222]

actually I have some I'm trying to trade I have a vid up on youtube about them I have them in orange, blue, flouro pink, flouro green, and flouro yellow

here's a link to my vid:
