i mad a new mix is this better>?

no, the colour still looks like shit. try brighter colours i guess, but keep working on it.

i hit it slowly, and imo i got the water/paint ratio just right for good flow without making it too runny. it was just wasn't opaque enough for my liking

if i try it again ill be sure to get some pics

alright, ill get some pics up of my mixes. maybe its what marker youre using as well, try it again in a diff. marker

[Spark391]

not a ton, maybe 1 3/4 cups - 2 cups....

it depends on what recipe/ proportions your using.

And how big is that cup?

[acereborn]

uhh... the measuring type of cup.. its equal to 8 oz. (8 shot glasses)

And how big is that cup?

lol

Acereborn thanks.
Anybody know where I can get that alcohol (91%) for the pen ink? Don't tell me the store name, I live outside America and we don't have wallmarts and that shit. Haven't seen it in supermarkets, do they sell it in drugstores? Do they even sell that stuff to me if i'm under 18?

[Wallace]

you shouldnt have a problem being under 18, i havent at any major stores

you will want to try any very large stores, or harware stores for it i believe.

[df_one]

were can i get pvc primer

[Wallace]

plumbing/hardware stores

[Spark391]

Where is that alcohol located in large stores? Like next to what items usaualy? Then I know where to look at it for.

[acereborn]

i found mine in the cleaning area, with stuff like glass cleaner .idk why, but it was there.

how i make my acrylic mop paint.. or whatever you want to call it

step 1) rack some shit (todays rack)


step 2) figure out what colour your using


step 3) pour whatever amount of water your using into a container... a good size is 1/3 of your overall mix (play around with it)


step 4) pour the extra 2/3 or so acrylic paint in.


step 5) mix it


step 6) throw it in your mop of choice, and use


^^the drips were pretty good, but i had to cut them off short before they dripped onto my wall.
just play around with the mixes, etc., and youll figure something out.

i love homemade mops and homemade acrylic and inks
but im gonna buy my shit next time
more sturdy and reliable
but im gonna keep on making acrylic paint in my markers as they look sexy

[df_one]

lol ok thx man am trying to make Ghetto DED

[balls deep]

i dis like me' because there water based that sucks' but last tinme i got this purple acril and it said perment so i used it and so far it's good

[acereborn]

acrylic isnt permanent, it will wash off with water and scrubbing.

[Olick]

in other words, the buff man wouldn even care cause its so easy to buff.

[balls deep]

that's why water based sucks' just make gk of pen ink.

[acereborn]

exactly..

the only reasons i use acrylic are:

1) nobody buffs shit around here
2) it pops out
3) its easy to make
4) it comes in a bunch of colours to start
5) its easily accessible

EDIT: @ olick

[balls deep]

true that i olove the coulers' but dont they like loose the coler whene they fade like majorly loose the taste in the coler?

[acereborn]

not for me, but i guess it depends on where your hitting as well. more sunlight=more fucked up colours i guess.

and your ratio probably changes it.
