Ok, So i know theres an Ink Discussion thread in the big boys section But i figured the little tikes could use a place to learn where to start. That way we can keep the N00b questions here and keep the discussion one for recipes and actualy discussion.

......
Above you will also notice i have, calligraphy inks as a color inhancer and a mortor and pestle for grinding pigments into a fine powder. Be creative and experiment, thats what its all about.

***Bleach should never be used in ink making***

I don't think paint thinner works with pen ink. Experiment though...

oh yea and whats the keyword for brake fluid?

[pardee]

what the fuck is that soy sauce shit? is it easy and does it fuckin' stain the shit your writing on?

[pardee]

Also where do you get/buy glycerin?

[JudgeWizely]

Can methalated spirits, turpanite or lamp oil be used when making a batch of ink?????

[Vagrant]

methylated spirits for inks.
this is denatured alcohol. Usually 90% ethanol and 10% methanol. very common ink base

turpentine for paints.
cleans paint brushes. thins paint.

[Bink1]

white spirit works?

You only got the pens part right. Last time I checked DOT4 was garbage and did a lot more harm than good. And of course paint thinner is for paints.

[Bink1]

got it

Also where do you get/buy glycerin?

if you do get some get the plant derived kind not the animal derived kind

if you have marsh and garvey mix that shit 50/50 for the dopest ink ever... One is hard to buff, and the other is easy, and one doesnt fade in the sun and the other does--so combined its like gods vagina aka dope as fuck.

But if your makin your own do like 80-100 pens per cup of alcohol ( the higher percentage alc the better) And like a small cap of DOT3 brake fluid---just a little-- Its up to you though the more pens the thicker, and darker but i just made a couple cups, and i just throw whatever ink i can in there and its sick shit...

[hardwares]

ay would fish oil do shit in alcohol/pen mix? i have alot of all of that and want to know if mixing it would do shit.

[k'n1ve]

fuck try it in a lil bit, but prolly not cuz the base is either alcohol or some is xylene, prolly wouldnt mix right...put some in some paint thats oil based maybe-- just experiment bro.

[Zase]

belive me
take an old posca paint marker
wash it
fill it with mtn hardcore ink its like 10 euros
or home made shit if ya want
rag the nib a few times on rock or rough material
and u have the best non streaking fat writing round tip marker there is
and take a standart 5 mm nib or larger
and do the thing on the rocks like i said it wil be as wide as the std 15 mm marker but round tip and if ya want monster drips

hey, so i made some shit out of woodstain, paint thinner and fish oil.
i put 2/3 woodstain, 1/3 thinner and like 10 fish oil tabs, and it came out transparent as fuck.
so i poured some out and added another 1/3 cup of woodstain.

its still a little transparent.
is that normal?
or am i just being paranoid.

[Queezy]

Use woodstain straight up with no thinner.
