    ok i know you guys dont like new topics and all that shnaz but im stumped it might be the simplest thing in the world but i wanna refill my simple paint marker ( the one you get at pretty much any arts and craft store) so i was wonderin if there was a paint that is thin enough to flow properly or if i gotta thin it myself??

    those work better with water based paint like acrylic, or ink.

    make sure its the right kind of paint thinner, or deglosser, or eater(its all the same)
    get the liquid kind, i accidently bought a gel kind...it didnt say but it looked just like the others...when i shook the bottle i mix paints in it blew the cap off and paint went everywhere, it was chunky and looked like shit <_<
