    tryed making a mop last week...i have everything..i was jsut wondering how much paint thinner to mix with the paint to make it the perfect mix...
    i tryed puting a bit more then half in a lil container then putting the rest of paint..so about half half...obviously too much paint.....

    i dont think it needs to be too specific. just keep adding thinner until you like it.

    it makes it run better. its a little thing that only alows the paint to come out wen yeu press it up against sumthin. if yeu take it out then it will flow all teh time.

    You failed to mention, both sides....

    With the valve out= Better flow, No extra force on nib, but messy at times

    With the valve in= No mess, but extra force on nib because you have to push it to write...and not as good of a flow....

    MY Solution....is to cut out 2 of the 3 green "legs" on the valve...better flow, AND no mess....:D

    Use Oil Based paint, thinned with Mineral Spirits...maybe your using latex? Or a bad thinner?
