Chemistry 101:Beginner Ink Labs and Pics

It depends. If you have a weak ink and Soy as you main stainer then yes its a Weak Stainer. Barley even stains. But once you get a mix going it can make a deffernce.

[bak]

wats a good stainer other than ur average dot 3?

[HëRbN]

dot 3 doesnt stain. it simply extends the drying time allowing the staining agent to soak in ans set longer.

Meth blue
potas. permagrate
pvc primer
dyes (leather, shoe,ect)

[bak]

good shit thanks

fun thread

[Queezy]

True SOS, the only time I used soy in a mix was when I was toy at making ink. I'll have to try it now that my mixes are dank.

im thinking about buying some leather dye to make make ink stain a little more but whats the best addative to make it more opaque(besides more pens)
oh and whats the best store to buy leather dye and whats the price usually

I heard you can put a bit of elmers white glue, but I'd have to double check.

[T-jay]

what would it do?

[skull-e]

oh shit, I thought you wanted to thicken your ink, my bad.

[Azul]

What should my ratio be? I have
Acetone
Dot 3
papermate pens

[skull-e]

-80 papermate ballpoint pens
-1 cup of isoprophyl 90% alchol
- a cap of dot 3 brake fluid

(you can also use acetone)

i got 80 pens, 90% alchol, and a cap of dot 3..how much pvc primer should i use in this mix^^

Thats the Basics, But you got the Point.

For Ever 80 Pens, add 1 cup of 90% Alcohol or Higher into the Mix. But as Break Fluid Gose just one cap. As some one stated befor.

But after you get done with your basic mix you should start looking for stainer and colors and pigmensts and stuff. To futer more make your ink dope.

[HëRbN]

eyenever- either a 3/4 alc 1/4 primer, or anything really but if you add a full cup alc and then primer it will make your ink thinner so replace some of the alc w the primer, or just use primer instead of alc

generally i like 100 pens to a cup of solvent, and acetone will work better than alcohol. PVC primer can also be used in place of alcohol, it will work better too. and be careful not to use much dot 3. itll ruin a whole batch if you get to much

[eyeneversleep]

i made a small batch today just to try it out. I used 30 pens( mixed blue and red), the green 70%,and pvc primer. Dont remeber the exact amount( i have them wrote down) but it turned out a really nice purple..i did a buff test with it and do em dirty outdoors and mine seemed to stain harder but im not gonna say it did until i do more test.. i got some rit dye powder stuuf toady in black,blue,and red. Would this be good to add to the ink??

[HëRbN]

rit dye is eh.

30 pens to how much liquid?

[Facedorateur]

What does adding pigments do (lets say black), does it just make the mix morwe opaque?

[HëRbN]

yes depending on the pigment and how well it mixes with your base and such
