    into 2/3 this
    aimages45.fotki.com_v1450_photos_2_229137_6918193_DSCN8038_vi.jpg

    and some thinner to get it to the consistency of your choice, you dont need too much because the woodstain thins the paint as well.

    pretty straightforward man..

    i got the silver in a 2oz mop and that shit was awesome, until the nib popped right the fuck out while i was writing..besides that, i got a tag thats still running since like early january, they tried but all it did was get the metallic pigment out, now its just gray, but still there.

    EDIT: also my rusto/minwax mix takes a bit to dry.wtf.

    i have tags from 6 years ago with normal kiwi shoe polish.....

    fuckers.. =]

    bitumen = road. thanks to hetting.

    make your ink black = thats a tuffy since "black" is usually just dark ass violet. pigments. dyes. stainers. charcoal. are usually black and might darken up your batch.

    other then that...nothings wrong with violet.

    This is because the pigment in black is dark blue or purple. When we use 100 pens they are not expensive pens? Alot of these turn out the same, my black came out really really dark Bluish purple.

    And my red that I tried to make pigs blook from came out a weird purple pinkish tinted ink. Experiement and ask questions thats all I can add.

    add blue pens until it is a nice navy blue than add pilot ink. it will be a very very dark blue that looks black from most angles but is a little bit blue when the light hits it. and if you add a shitload of pilot it will stand up to weather pretty good. but i find pilot is too expensive to use in bulk.

    or you could put it in a half full pilot jumbo and get the same result. but it will be more purple than blue.

    Well, I just want black, not blue, or violet. And pilot is kinda expensive and I don't have a good store to rack it from. I was kinda asking more what I could add to the ink to make it more black, like if it's dyes or whatever brand names would be nice, and what store to get it from.

    well like someone said on the last page black is usually just very very dark violet (and sometimes blue) so just keep adding pens until it is as dark as you want. or marsh ink you you can find any, but it might be better by itself.

    Stink ink

    Hey guys , I just made this wonderfull ink mix.
    It's pigment based, and really opaque, I only need to add omega3 pills and than it's finished. The Stink ink (that's what I call it) is made from pigments they use in ink factory's and it's really hard to get but my nephew works there and he got some me some pigment. But the ratio they use for the pigment is 10grammes on 100Litres of 99% isoprophyl alcohol.
    It's really great, and I call it stink in because the ink smells really hard, and because the name of my nephew starts with ST.
    Anyways, here are some pics.
