    ur ink is in the mail circa tuesday, use it in a mop for optimal performance, but i must say, its not my best ink. maybe add a little more benzo..

    and idk biz must be fuckin around, cuz thats hit cloggs that shit the FUCK up.

    but it might be with just xylene, ill try thinning bitumen with naptha or paint thinner then add alc.

    Ive had that same problem, with suspending pigments as well as metallics. my metallics look ill but wont show metallic through any markers and is still kinda sketchy even through a mop and tend to clog. its no bueno.

    Im working on a new base recipe that could be interesting. Pens, N-Heptane, PVC primer, and a small splash of alc. Whats weird is that with just primer and Heptane it worked but the pen ink was like cloggy and would produce ink globs in the liquid. but when i added a very small amount of 96% alc it cured that issue. If it works well ill share it w the group. as well as the next steps i take to mass produce off the base lol

    yea it actually slows down the drying time so it can penatrate the surface more so its harder to buff

    got your ink
    its actualy really nice thanks. i added some black solvent dye to it
    how do you like mine?

    and with the bitumen mabey just add like 1/4 alcohol into the xylene then add to bitumen instead of just adding alcohol
    but idk prbly just clog up again

    no fuck that, i think xylene and alcohol are just a bad mix, cuz they have slightly different attraction forces, alcohols have some hydrogen bonding, and then non-polar, and xylene should be all non polar

    nah i didnt add any break fluid.

    yea i had it sit out for a day or two, but never bothered to boil it.


    and idk when u mix xylene and alcohol, u can sort of see the siffferent liquids, like theyre kinda mixing but not well

    yea i always mix with chlorine, cuz u know some clothes say only non-chlorine bleach, so if u add the chlorine it will fuck it up more
