for sure but sometimes you may have a few bucks on paypal and say "eff it..." i wanna try that metal ball point because i cant even really picture that being able to write on all those different surfaces. looks fun is the bottom line.
i subscribe to the shoepolish/deoderant/bottle of bug juice idea to be honest. i want to make some real good homemade ink too. that metal ball point thing looks real fun to use i cant wait to try mine i got coming in. if i use ill post a pic in the tag thread in toy sect.

 

Just buy a pentel presto... or anything with a metal tip.

for mops, use paint. 2/3 oil paint, 1/3 thinner. no brake fluid.
making ink, use pens and alcohol. if you want extra stain, buy some staining powder. don't throw brake fluid.
my mentality is this; they're going to find a way to cover it up. Might as well just go over it again. Nothing lasts forever.

White out pens, a nice chisel tip, and a fatty mop. I'm happy.

 

so NO dot fluid?? i keep seeing that that is the prefered method tho?? in your experience, you suggest NO brake fluid then? ok. thanks for the tiop. i just want ink thats gonna go over really thick and stay uop for a hot minute ya know?

*sidenote... i guess markal and the other sample sites arent sending them anymore. ordered a few from diff companies and never received even a email. mabe they caught on... i played the role too. tht sux kineda...

 

awesome! all the ink in the metal head mustve leaked or exploded wtf... this is how it JUST came in the mail. markers look fine tho feel heavy must be somewhat full of ink.

 

fucking clever! I like that one

 

whats the best to refill a metal ball tipped squeeze marker thing? paint? thin it and add stuff? i just dont wann have to un clog this fuckin metal head tip. thanks for ANY info.

* just got s bottle of neon glow type paint. looks great from pic.

 

I dont use brake fluid in anything. And i make my ink with A LOT of pens and PVC primer, cop some at home depot, i also add garvey, and pilot blue or black. Bleeds through and ghosts like a mofo. ill get an after buff shot next time i have my camera around one.

And i would think thats the best idea for the metal tip, or maybe just get some smash ink or something colorful and premade thats on the thinner side. I dont have much experience with the ball tips hah

 

exactly. ill figure something out. i guess some good paint and some thinner until its what im looking for cosistancywise i just dont want to clog the metal tip like a shithead.

and that pen method works really good huh...? im going to make some of that anyway.

 

does somebody know how to mod a kiwi nib? ..i have heard about glueing felt on that plastic thing to make a nice nib

 

never tried it but i guess you can get a sock or was towl or whatever cloth cut it to size hot glue it to the plastic on the bottom or the nib to provide a shield for the soft nib/ or you could glue a plastic extention so when you put it on the wall the plastic part gets pushed in to release ink with little pressure on the sponge nid..so it dont get riped up easy

 

okay thank you

 

Just got a reissue of an ultrawide marker, originally made by Wescosa, and I'm wondering what the best ink to fill it with would be. I'm assuming something alcohol based, but I am kinda hoping to fill it with a silver if I can figure out a way to do it without clogging it up. Any suggestions?

 

Is it a pump marker and what is the nib like. Silver gets tricky cause depending on the nib the metallic pigment can get easily caught up in there, but there are some decent thin ones that could work.

pump is preferable because it allows paint/ink move down the sides of the nib as well as through it.

You may think about filling it with black or what ever and coppin a prefilled crome that you know will work and you can refill.

 

im gonna make a nip for a swueeze bottle marker and use some of the screen on my shit to go over the cotton ball nipple. should work good from what im thinking now.

 

just made a small mop out of a crayola not sure if its gonna work well but it should be alright. hopefully i can post some pics soon

 

my favorite is eye drops with a shoe lace.. they only last me like a day but i love the way they flow on steel signs and shit.

 

is there a poll anywhere on the best marker brands?

 

molotow one for all 15 mm is best marker
does montana make good markers if anyone can tell

 

If anyone can find these as a pack in as 0.5mm or upwards to 0.8mm. Without the sets of the other ones. im not intrested in 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 in the set as they would be a waste of money.

I'll send some stickers to whoever can get me a decent supplier asap.
Or suggest other great pigment thinliners as a set of 0.5 upto 0.8
