or just take the old nib rip the fabric off take some felt and stick it in the crack where u ripped the older fabric out of no need to buy new nibs kids
anyone know if i pour some silver decocolor into a woodcraft, if the paint will flow good through the nib?
tight. i used an otr with a woodcraft nib. there was still a litle metalic green left so i mixed in the silver deco. it flows just fine. :]
careful though.. xylene eats through plastics like a mo fug. i made a mop with a couple silver decos thrown in, ended up with a yellow warped mop that dripped and leaked
deco paint also eats through plastic, xylene based. i put some in a whiteout pen and when i squeezed it, that shit squirt in my eye.
Psssst, hey boys and girls! Haven't been in here for a while and thought I would stop by and put a few of you guys on a small and enjoyable task. Xylene based paints are amazing, they thin the paint well without losing the opacity and are cheap to make. Why doesn't everyone use xylene in their mops? Well thats because it eats through mops like pacman on big dots. So my question for you is how would one be able to make a xylene based mop that doesn't wear out? Please note I have said mop and not marker. Also posted this in the ink section.
I read that whole post, imaging in my head, as someone whispering. Just because tyou said "Psssst" looolz
B-L - Bleeds Through Solvent-Based Paints. bleed through markalls! im i the only one sleeping on these things.
xylene really doesnt eat away fast at all, so if u use a thicker mop you'll be good for a year or so w.o. leaks. or you coudl do the research and see what plastics it doesnt eat through, look at the plastic containers that nalgene makes, and see what type of plastic.
there's different types of plastic, for example: HDPE, LDPE... Look on the bottom of some bottles or mops, it generally has a 4 letter combo telling you what type of plastic it is. If you can find out the type of plastic that is used in the Nib portion of markers, which is generally harder, gloss plastic, then you might find a good bottle/marker barrel that won't be eaten by the Xylene.
