How much alcohol do you recommend for a batch of 108 pens to turn out not to thick but not to thin ? You know, so it still flows through nibs (2 way glue pens and stuff), but also chalk board erasers etc. Im thinking a little over 3/4 cup.

 

yup, better to have to little than too much, if its too thick, add more alc. if its too thin,more pens

 

Thanks, I think I'll try the adding some GK.

 

I have no idea if this belongs here, but I have a question.
I was scrolling through some pages of the flicks of your inventory thread (like page 100-110 or something), and there was a few mentions of homemade streaks. I cant get streaks anywhere around here so how do you make them?

I know alot of you say you cant make them but, anyone know ?

 

Just scroll down the apge a little on this link, there's a recipe.

Thanks man, I might try that soon. I just dont think my mum will like me boiling shit, but if I cant, oh well.

 

ahah here
drew this for a feriend a whiel ago
use a candle and some cans

 

frodo just use more alcohol i think.
ask h3tt because im not sure.

and h3tt, so if I just take a can, put a hole in the top, put a candle under it and then put a can with all the other streak shit on top, it will work ?

 

yes,it is rackable.(the touch up thing)

and yes the alcohol will make a diffrence, if i were you i wouldnt waste those pens,id buy better alcohol..

it will still be permanent(maybe the same as a sharpie)

 

yea you def dont want 70%, because thats too much water, and your ink will probably bead up.
and yea just use soemthign to lift the candle up so the flame is liek right through the hole. And make sure you cut that hole at the bottom for air for teh flame.
thats how i make my bitumen ink

if you really like have absolutely no other option than 70%, you can use fractional distillation to seperate the water and alcohol.
google it, but basically you boil the alcohol at its boiling temperature, i think its like 88º for isopropanol or soemthing, until it stops boiling, and make sure you have a tube hooked up to whatever your boiling it in, cuz you gotta collect the alcohol your boiling. the rest in the end should be water.
but you gotta make sure you keep it at the right temperature, and have it set up right or else you might just boil it all off then just have water after

 

probably not as long as the bucket is closed..

hett,do u know if the shit that evaporates from malachite green when u boil it is bad?
cuz i was boiling sum in the morning and i breathed it in and it stung like a bitch...

 

H3tt......that visual aid is fucking epic !!

lol i just got 5lb. of iron oxide time to go make some rocket fuel
