    Does anyone no a good ink for prints onto slaps?
    Ive messed around with block printing before, but real ink for printing is extremely thick (almost like honey) and would make the sticker far to heavy.

    The ink cannot be to thin however, or it won't transfer well

    I was thinking about making the ink, so if anyone can recommend a medium viscosity ink that would be perfect

    is there any use for the liquid inside kiwi mops?

    the red-brown one seems a good color to mix...

    ok well i have just made a batch of pen ink. the one problem: i couldnt get rubbing alcohole. instread i got ethonol (90%) i was wondering if this would affect the thicknes or quailty of the ink. i used about 175ml of ethonol, 96 pens and a cap of brake fluid.

    in fact, ethanol is the main component of rubbing alcohol.

    rubbing alcohol is isopropanol not ethanol.

    sharpies fade in the sun but last if not in the sun, and ghetto krink is easy to buff but it lasts in the sun

    lol 1: id say bitumen ink lasts the longest and stains the most but its the hardest to find a marker for, u kinda just gotta use a mop with a homemade nib.

    pen ink is second best cuz its easy and powerful

    2: its the same as dot3, there are proly a billion different things that u can add to do this: it slows the drying time for inks, so its only for use in pen ink or something with a lot of stainers/ dyes

    Sup kids, i've been looking around this thread for a while and I wanted to ask for a good recipe for staining electrical boxes, or anything metallic really. It seems that my paint gets buffed fairly easily and it really is pissing me off. Plus I think a mop would be better when I'm out and don't want to carry a can on me, so any one know any ink that would stain anything metallic and/or plastic? While lasting the sun and rain?
