    I've read nail polish is alcohol based so in theory it should work. Try it out and post pics.

    I tried with the tie dye, turns out your right...it needs water to be absorbed. I mixed it into the alcohol for like 10 minutes with no luck. I added a tiny splash of water in and BAM, no mixing, pure green.

    I'm wondering now, what would happen if I were to evaporate all the water off. Think I'd be left with just un-colored rubbing alcohol? Any ideas about how to evaporate water off without evaping alcohol? Boiling maybe?

    Also; any ideas how they made OTR ink? Thats really my most favorite shit. I love their colors, I'd kill to make it. I don't care how much it'd cost to make it, I just want to really bad. I'm willing to invest quite a bit, it would pay for itself over time :/ I know its alcohol based, but I have no idea what kind of pigment they use.



    ALSO! About the nail polish - I gave that a shot in one of my (almost) used up Junobo mops, and it turned it to goo instantly. No more flowing, just glue. I was pulling it out and it was solid, almost like hard spaghetti. The nailpolish on its own might have been OK, but I'd cut it with some alcohol and don't mix it in an old junobo mop lmao. I got it cleaned out, but the nib is ruined now.

    I'm sure it has been tried before, but I haven't seen to many people talk about it. Can you make a paint mixture that stains decent? What oil based additives stain besides wood stain?

    After an entire days worth of research, I have found out how to ghetto-make some really sweet ink. It might take a little bit of trying, but it is totally worth it.

    Purple ink:

    "Denatured alcohol" at your local hardware store

    and

    "Basic Violet 1"

    That is exactly what purple garvy is. The amounts, I am unsure of, but I'm sure it would be easy to figure out once you have the ingredients infront of you. I haven't successfully found any basic violet 1 online just yet...er, well, I DID, but they only offer it in 500 kilo lots haha. I'll keep looking and get back to you guys though!

    pen ink on its own bleeeds through.
    nail polish just adds some pigment, it doenst have any dyes.

    it might make it flow wierd too if you add too much

    Cant explain it, its way different.
    And it made it thicker, so the drips are straight, and not are gross like with thin ink.

    It should write fine with water it just tends to get buffed easier

    Not other than making a mess if it bubbles and depending on the ink it could smell kinda funky lol you can usually just leave it out for awhile though to i did and it didnt take that long to become a runny sludge.
