    im not a big fan of chapstick markers.. as far as mops come, i like kiwis and roll on deoderant mops with chalk board nibs... i got a zig glue pen (the kind with the OTR like pump system) and filled it up with krink.. ive been rockin that for awhile and its hella tight..

    sorry but these are not the greatest, you would be better of with any type of paint marker, yes these are real perm, hard to buff and dont fade but they arent really that controlled and plus if its hot where u live they gum up really bad unless u store it int he fridge.

    HONESTLY MY FAVORITE HOMEMADE MARKER IS OUT OF ONE OF THOSE OLD ALUMINUM BADAID CONTAIERS OR THE ONES U GET THAT NEON BANDAID GUM IN. YOU FILL IT WITH A SOCK AND LAY YOUR FELT ERASER NIB IN THE TOP AND JUICE WITH PREFERED INK

    face painter with white marsh in it. this is one of my favorites, u take the cap off then pull the nib off empty it fill it wit ink/paint put the nib back on. squeeze for drips, and dont put upside down or squeeze when in ur pocket theese things always leak on me so carry it in a bag.

    a "kiwi" i found at the dollar store they were 1.25 yet i still put 5 in my bag... i had this one kiwi bottle it was one of the newer ones and it had some double nib so it lasts longer anyways when i would do a line with it it would be 30mm wide not to mention the nib was triangular.

    otr.050 its the same as a pilot as in metal and no pump and the ink is pretty good

    i forget what type it is but i got it at some art store its a 20mm nib u cant refill it unless u cut it up but the ink in it is good enough to use.

    a silky pastel, though i think its a fabric pastel.(i dunno) anyways works good on cement and wat not and i may make a marker out of it.


    anyways my must used marker is my h2b, my favorite marker face painters, my fav ink is marsh, and my fav paint for mops is tremclad silver.

    Maybe the nib is dryed out with the old ink.

    well some inks dont react well together so once the nib is used some inks cant be refilled with it its best to use it with ur own ink from the beggining. and yes u can get brake oil at the dollar store

    i had cleaned the nib very well, sokaed it squeezed all the water out with plyers
    and then layed it on ym vent to air out. the paint jsut basically blobs around it but i am shure that it would work with a type of ink. its not that big of a loss.
    and thanks for the help everyone
