and the hydrochloric acid/ sulfiric acid is used as a catalyst, not for etching, it just speeds up the reaction so your not waiting for days
Nah dude im talking about later on in ink use, in those forms it'll be decent, It'll fuck up alot when it comes to puting it in a decent ink And I know about Ethanoic acid, when you buy it, its in a stronger form than if you bought it in its Acetic acid, Therefore cutting out the middle man =] And theres still trace amounts of the hydrocholic, which is still wack. =[
yeayea i menat using like more pure acid, not just like vinegar, and what do you mean stil ltraces of hcl?
and yea i was wondering how good it would be for a base, so esters dont act liek alcohols? either way the smell is way strong, you could proly add like a teaspoon per cup of ink and be set
^^ <3 If you would use it in a ink man, you would still get traces amounts of the hcl. And you wouldn't even wanna have half of that much man, Its still like an addon that scrapes away at the staining power, But if you can do it right Go for it. I am very ill :|
cant find japan dryer :/ checked walmart an hardware storez.. also whats a good ratio to add to a primitive GK reciepe? :/ get well soon biz!
look at michael's or hobby lobby or a art store not a hard ware store it will be with the oil paints and for as how much to mix in your gk just fuck around adding a little bit see how long it takes to dry and add more till you like it i try to help were i can
I'm looking for a quick recipe for some nice black staining ink, don't wanna clutter the thread so a pm would be much appreciated, thanks ! (Don't have time to read threw all this shit) -H.
I hate the japan drier from art stores it's really thick and hard to work with. Anyone tried that cobalt drier stuff at art stores? The kind you get at the hardware store is pretty thin and easy to mix in. I got my japan drier at lowes or home depot (can't remember which) it was near the solvents. @Jenkins: if you want something (like a recipe) you should be willing to look around for it. You could try making some pen ink and adding some good leather dye.
I saw on the history channel last night on this thing about prison tatoos in russia and how they made th eink from burning rubber and adding their piss. would that work with alcohol? just wondering
so if you had like a bottle of ink it would be like adding to make it more ink? so you coukldnt just use it and alcohol?
Burn plastic or baby oil, and take the soot and add random shit too it, you'll figure something prison like out.
...gold paint+thinner. also pearlex prolly..im gonna try some of that today..they got sensors strapped on that shit tho its laames. fuckem. gold ink? ...ill let one of these inkheads fux w/ that
gold rusto and paint thinner. you're a waste of air for everyone else who actually matters, find the gold leafing section at michaels and snag a jar of liquid gold leaf. actual metals (usually a mix of copper and gold, with different shades available) in a xylene base
