    Only problem is getting that ball out, its like stuck in there with glue or something.

    LOL well its put in there so it can just roll and not fall out.

    But if you manage, then all the best with it :cool:

    Its basically like making the ghetto NYC mop. Just hold the ball in a vice and pull it off.

    Hes on about the ink mainly. the ink is pritty good. but needs thinning..
    A mix ive made which is very good for this. and like it is for a reason.

    Take food colouring, and let ALL the moisture evapourate..
    and with the solid colourant. dilute with alcohol to 3 quaters of the origonal mesure of the food colouring. then use that to thin the stamp pad ink to the perfect consistancy, good flowing but also slightly slightly thick.. and plus this stuff drys pritty slow, so theres no need for break fluid/fish oil.

    if you over thin it, add whatever you want, i reccomend kool aid or a standard chemical stainer like solvent red 8. maybe gentain violet also.

    What do fish oil tablets do with your ink? I saw that you have to have them in some ink mix in step by step thread. Where can I get them and how much do they cost, at drugstore or something?

    yes koolaid the powder mix drink or the off brand of it. they help thiken the ink. or u can use reburt paper. ashes. I have even used a lil ground chalk dust but that was a last resort. it didnt work to well.


    and yes go to any dug store or viteman shop andy can find fish oil gel capsules. u pop a lil hole in them and squirt it into ur ink. it slows drying time alowing the ink to stain harder and leave a ghost tag after it has been buffed. dot 3 brake fluid does the same thing but don't use to much. if I fill an entire alcohol bottle with ink I'll add in 1/4 cap full of break fluid or about 2 or 3 fish oil capsules.

    go to any industrial supply store and ask them. cuz stores carry different things in different areas. i have never seen marsh in just a regular store. so specialty stores or online would be ur best bet.

    search ur area for like stores that sell machine shop stuff, and pallets, and just like shit for industrial purposes. u gota do ur own research man, stop being lazy, go to google insted of bombingscience, and search for industrial supply stores in ur area. or pull out the phone book and look. if u dont have a credit card, and thats y u cant buy online, go to ur local drug store, and buy a prepaid credit card, and there ya go! u can buy online then
