    funny enough i got mine off ebay, £20.00 for 36,set c, 2 of them were used once and the lady thought they put out too much ink for what she wanted. i do have to say they make a huge difference in coloring shit in. nice when the markers ya use dont leave inconsistent lines every place a marker happens to overlap.
    since i got that set i went back to ebay and ordered another 20 different colors to round out my set , those i had to get 1 by 1 for £1.80 each with free shipping.
    i still have alot to do to get to use them right but its a pleasure to use something decent for a change and just to see a nice result.

    also just got 2 copic marker pads today £11.50 for the pair delivered

    quick inspection....

    paper is babys ass smooth
    feels even thinner than the paper in my other budget sketch book.
    almost similar to copy paper in weight

    i am gonna take a few days to toy around with it and see what difference it makes.
    since i am not in this for the wall,train bombing scene all i need is good materials and a ton of practice to suit my needs.

    i will throw up a pic once the rest of my copics come in

    yep they call em tip ex over here, but its a fairly fine white out tip.
    honestly i will probably dump that and just grab a small tube of acrylic white from a hobby shop/ craft store and a liner brush. can get a finer line and a bit more control than the flow from the tip ex

    How to make a nice pocket homemade mop for rough outdoor surfaces

    1. you want any type of plastic sqeezeable tube.i used an old acrylic paint bottle that i washed out.and 2.filled with ink. the bottle was delta ceramcoat is the brand. you can get permanent acrylic paint bottle too(what you want). so once you clean out the bottle you just have the clear bottle so make some homemade ink! 3.for the nib i used the rough part of the top of a sponge. you can just peel it off you want to roll it up then fold it in. then slide in make the nib the way you want. i tryed this and it works so well. the ink flows perfectly through it you can even do non drippy tags. hope it helped for outdoor graffiti artists like me.

    Review: Krink k-51(yellow) Markwell Xtra wide(white)

    Ok first off i was stoked to get my first krink marker! but it all went downhill from here i tryed it the k-51 is like a translucent yellow i wanted it to be bright but im gonna fill it up with grog when it runs out :) but anways it was ok. Any suggests on big nib krinks i could get that arent crappy?
    Markwell Xtra wide- First of i though this was a great deal until i got the marker. i like how it write on dumpster and slick metal surfaces but on wood and like rough plastic or whatever it sucks. it splatters all over when opened after first use. it bothered me.

    Umm can someone tell what are some good markers from krink that have the fat nib like the k-51 thanks.

    Markwells suck my left nut. Whenever you order morethan 15 dollars worth of shit from bs they give you a free one. Sell them to a dumb ass kid for 5 bucks

    if you want a big nib marker on the cheap, Gardencraft by marvy uchida(same company that makes DecoColor) is great. The biggest you can get is a 15mm nib, and it uses the same pump system as OTR and Molotow. They sell them at Michael's
