by itself,its not, but i added that pen ink to my metallic silver acrylic..and its like a grimey fucking dark purple metallic...looks fucking great..anyone propose how i boil some of the water off?
frodo read the thred. and fucking search. the answer to that question is posted here millions of times.... u use water to thin it. and ill let u giure out the proper ratio. also go read the toy thread stickies.... do research on ur own and then come back with questions and we will clarify it for u. but first do ur own research
lol i boiled the glass bottom straight off the bottle.careful everyone..now my pan has a glass center. [Broken External Image]:http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/7703/jarjarr.jpg [Broken External Image]:http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8481/panpanq.jpg
why did u have the glass in a pan? go buy a cheep ass pan, then u can just poor the ink into that and boil it down. i have about 4 pans just for makeing ink and shit. also u should be able to get that glass outa the pan
or you could have just put the glass on teh heat straight. but thats a fuckign nasty mix dude, id just toss it
cause i didnt wanna fuck a pan up with ink. lol.. it doesnt really matter, i used one of my pans, so im good. my room mate wouldve been piiiisssssseeed. EDIT: yeah when the glass fucking melted all the way through(lol) a bunch of ink was burnt on the pan, no big deal..i got a bit more.

Will the proprtions still be the same if I use methylated spirits for the pen ink? (Half cup per 40 pens or so)
Yeah I used around half a cup for 50 pens (all I had), and its a little thin. But Im making another batch of it as soon as this one is gone, and gunna use around 100 pens to a little bit over 3/4 cup. EDIT: I think my ink is almost done. Does all the ink have to be out of the tubes ? theres only a bit left in them..
Nah man, go to the inks & recipes thread up top of this section (tools & tips). Its stickied so its easy to find, and its the first recipe I believe.
Warning-I have bought a Montana Paint Burner Red from ********,long time ago,but then went up to one of my tags on a glossy surface and it wiped off with my finger! Then a few days ago I noticed that my tags are dripping and fading away because of the RAIN.NOT EVEN WATERPROOF DOESNT STAIN WTF.
you can do whats called a double boiler too, just fill a big pan with water, putt it on the stove and boil that water, and then put your ink in say a glass container in that water, heavy enough not to fall over, they sell these cheap ass at places like biglots for melting chocolate, candle wax, flammable shit etc usually for like 5 bucks, comes in handy for lots of things.
yeah like cooking rocks..i highly suggest doing that, and not melting the bottom off your glass bottle, cause that was very close to an epic fail. EDIT, but yeah about the other ink, the homemade pen ink, not every single drop of ink got out of my tubes, so i waited like another day or so, then pulled em out and just tossed em..still got a pretty good amount of ink.
alcohol is a thiner dumbass, oil and alcohol dont mix, paint thinner, which is what you are referrign to, is oil based, so it wouldnt even mix in, not to mention its not needed because alcohol is your solvent, and it will be thin enoguh as is. jesus no beef, but you shoudl really read up before you ask such idiotic questions.
k my mom's pretty g with everything but i was making pen ink and wasnt too crazy about the isopropanol so she threw it out anyway i wanna order ink online an she still thinks the fumes are flammable but i figure i'd ask the experts is ink really that flammable?
you could use one of those bamboo skewers to get out all the ink if you've got nothing but time... some people do. or just use five times as many pens i guess
You could just cut the head off, and blow into it to get the ink out I like doing that onto random walls, gives them a certain, je ne sais quoi.
