    if youre in america you cant get them anywhere.
    just order them from samsclub website, ultra cheap. order black and use red refill ink and garvey to refill it. then within a few weeks of use itll be flowing good violet stainer.
    or support BS and order it here.
    or get a magnum, because you probly dont order stuff online otherwise you wouldnt ask.

    I put ghetto krink into a zig woodcraft, but the paint looks a bit opaque and thin even when tested on paper. I noticed the original ink in the woodcraft seemed more watery like ink. Should i use marsh ink instead of krink for this marker, or should krink be reserved for mops?

    pop the top off a felt tip marker opposite of nib
    pull out inkholder thing
    put wter in mouth, blow through inkthing
    wash nib
    soak inkthing in ur preffered ink
    re-assemble it

    cops shouldnt b as harsh if u get caught cuz it looks like a felt tip, which will come off next time it rains

    ps try to get same color lid as ur ink, so its no as obvious...

    ghetto krink is super fresh if you dont over thin it and you use it in a mop.
    also, i found some rediculously cheap etch, like 12 or more fl oz for 5 dollars.
    i wish i actually would use it, but i know i wont.

    even though i have been told numerous times. i mixed white latex paint with acetone (paint thinner). the result was a big loaf of tofu. with some yello shit on top. lesson learned.

    i fixed my purple mop's nib. sock+ducktape=new nib.

    is it fine to thin latex paint with water? it seems that if it thins it, when it rains it will wash off. i'm going to try it but if anybody wants to tell me what's up, feel free.

    Okay, latex paint is water based. When it is still wet, it can be washed right off with water. As it dries, the paint molecules get closer and closer together as the wated is evaporated out. When the paint is dry, all the water is out and the molecules all touch and become one big molecule. Then the paint cannot be removed by adding water. Latex paint is easily removed though, you can scratch it off with a fingernail.

    How do you make a clean marker with little drips/no drips and no streaks?

    you buy a pilot, duh.

    latex aint really that bad, it just doesnt flow good. you need good pigment acrylic ink (like in a posterman) to thin it and then it doesnt mix well, but its the only way to get it thin and keep opacity.

    some latex dries really shitty though and can be peeled off in one fell swoop.

    oil is definitely more permanent, and far better, but honestly its just as easy to clean when someone wants it off.

    god damn does no one know anything these days.
    first off for mail order, just try it out, life is about learning shit from expierence not from asking people on a website. secondly NO dont use sharpies, unless your using the paint marker kind and even then those suck anyway. if your broke, rack DECOcolors, these can be found just about anywhere and come in a million colors and are the best markers out there.
    for a clean mop marker, either buy a pilot, or make a really thick glue pen mop.

    get a money order from a gas station kid, its really not that hard.
    or better yet, use a magnum, those are good for toys and kids.
    theyre easy to find, and sometimes you can get them free from school.
    or use chisel tip sharpies, its better than nothing, i geuss.
    sharpies do suck for permanence, but who cares.
