TOY GUIDE TO MAKING A MOP [Broken External Image]:http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2866/0223081503aqe8.jpg Get urself some GK (ghetto krink) or GJ(ghetto junobo). (I think both recipes are found in the stickied ink thread. Mine is GJ) A Stampendous stamp pad cleaner (found at michaels) Any type of mixer (im using a marble) and either a funnel or an eye dropper. [Broken External Image]:http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/6757/0223081504ahj5.jpg Take either an Exacto knife, or a razorblade, and get right under the white piece(nib) and push up.

[Broken External Image]:http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/6928/0223081505bgy4.jpg Get ur GK or GJ (I prefer GJ), and fill up ur mop with the funnel or eye dropper (i only use an eye dropper cause thats wat i could find faster) [Broken External Image]:http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4291/0223081510awo0.jpg Get ur mixer, u can use marbles, nuts, BBs, basically anything that can fit into ur mop and could mix it good enough. [Broken External Image]:http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3152/0223081513ars4.jpg Now take ur nib, and take out the valve inside it. (I used an Exacto knife cause it could fit into the nib easier than the razor blade I was using earlier) [Broken External Image]:http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/4889/0223081516avi3.jpg Perfect size. Put the nib back in, and uve got urself a dope mop. [Broken External Image]:http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/7906/1201071443apj3fh3.jpg Heres how it writes. (urs may be different depending on wat recipe u use, and/or ur ratios. Now get urself a good tag and go out and crush shit. =]
hahaha no problem man. cause im probably going to the states soon. stampedous and zigs. cant find any here in canada
Like i said get em at michaels. here at mine the aisles are set up perfectly. Zigs on one,then stampendous, then Martha Stewart glue pens. (same as zig but better imo.)
leave it out to evap a little and thicken up for more opaque colour, if you let it thicken though you won't get drips.
If your talking about mop/marker paint and not from scratch go to the ink recipe/discussion threads. Nice tutorial muse.
Someone should post a step by step on how to take the valve out of a zig Most people don't know how to let them drip or take off the valve part..haha I'll get working on one.
*hopes for page 100* HOW TO MAKE A ZIG MOP Find yourself a ZIG Find yourself a paperclip, and bend it straight Take out nib from zig Poke around the sides of the valve until you pull the spongey thing out (if you want drips) Heres the thing your trying to take out Twist the zig valve TO THE LEFT *LEFT* Empty out all the crap Wash it Wash the valve Pour in ink Screw everything back on, and your done! *NOTE* You might want to tape it, because it could leak Thanks for looking at all that EDIT: Just realized how well my camera captured the water lol
maybe a little dunna know never made one like that but i keep most all my mops in a plastic bag anyways
The valve in mine only lets ink come out if the nib is being pressed on. Btw, I didn't take the entire valve out, just one part of it. The part that I took out blocks large amounts of ink coming out, so if you want drips that's bad.
