    ive tried refilling em but ended up breaking the plastic. once theyre broken you can try making homemade markers but id wouldnt bother.

    best bet is just to buy a new one.

    those big ass silver pilots are dope but i suggest wearing gloves or evenn just keeping it in a ziplock bag, they tend to piss alot

    I've been meaning to try to refill my Pentel White, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Anyway, I have an idea. I often use a plastic syringe to help keep things clean when I'm filling up other markers. The one I have is just a little to big to fit into the valve part that holds the nib. So, my advice is look for one of these plastic syringes (in pharmacies) that looks small enough to fit in that hole. The syringes are usually only a dollar.

    I've filled up other paint markers with the same type of push valve using this syringe method and it completely worked, so I suspect if you find a sturdy little syringe you could just force down the valve and inject the paint.

    Agreed. I'm 90% sure the method I just discribed would work, if the person doing it is persistant and knows a little bit about fucking with markers and mixing paint for markers already. And in the off chance that you really tried and it didn't work, you could always saw off the front with a pipe cutter (they cost about 10$), making the marker so it's just an open shell, and then use eraser fealt to convert it into a kick-ass mop that would be tiny and concealable, but with a fucking massive tip.

    might have been said, to tired to read
    drill whole in the top, use a suringe or a glue bottle filled with paint to squirt the paint into the cyclinder of the marker then jsut put a dot of glue and twist a large screw into the whole . ofd course use desired paint

    hope thishelped
