    Not if it has a valve on it, then you can just press down to saturate the nib, then write with whats in the nib.

    i had a shoepolish mop last week, and i was taggin some trucks with it....btw i have to say the grog i put in it was terrible. but anywho after like 10 tags my nib started to fallout, and then it did and ank got all over my hands, so i chucked it at a truck that i didnt tag yet and it was like the biggest ink explosion all over that thing. I think im going to order one of those Moltow markers tonight, im open to suggestions...green or pink. cuz i already have a neon violet OTR coming in the mail.

    but back to the point, what should i do with my next shoepolish thing.

    Find a dauber, not a mop. Daubers are much better but you would be better off making sure you find a fabric nib, as apposed to a foam nib.


    Foam nibs on daubers are streaky, noisy, and annoying.


    And Montana painter, yes. I am.
    I gave out kisses for a dollar each today and kissed my bus driver for a hamburger from wendys, lmao

    I was hungry and figured I might as well hustle a bit

    I'd go with pink Fate, pink is sick.

    Also, if you decide to go with dabbers, theres a tut on here somewhere on how to replace the nib so its fabric instead of that crappy sponge. :D

    My tutorial on how to replace the material on Dauber Nibs, bitches...

    Step one.
    Take out valve... As seen here (the blue thing)
    [Broken External Image]:http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee46/sublime_terrorist/DSCN2736.jpg


    Step two.
    This is what the basic dauber nib will look like...

    [Broken External Image]:http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee46/sublime_terrorist/DSCN2727.jpg

    Step three.

    Use a lighter to mildly heat up one small portion of the edge, as seen here.
    Use a small tipped flat head screw driver to push that flap back, quickly after you have softened it with heat..
    Then dig some needle nose pliars in there and pull that sponge out of there.
    Some of them, like this one, will have a cloth of some sort under neith the foam itself. You want to be sure and keep that cloth..

    [Broken External Image]:http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee46/sublime_terrorist/DSCN2730.jpg

    Step Three. Continued.

    Here you can see the cloth I was referring to. In this particular brand of dauber, the cloth is black. It may not be the same for yours, if it even has a cloth, but if it does, you want to be sure to keep this cloth.

    [Broken External Image]:http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee46/sublime_terrorist/DSCN2731.jpg

    Step Four. Sizing up the replacement Material..

    Once you have removed the foam material, you may find a sock to be the most abundant, and easily replaceable material to use for the nib.
    Once you have the foam from the original nib in your hands, you want to lay it over a section of the sock (in this case the toe of the sock) and outline it with a dark marker. Be sure to get the outline as accurate as possible.

    [Broken External Image]:http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee46/sublime_terrorist/DSCN2732.jpg

    Step Five.

    Cut out with Scissors.
    This is where your kindergarten class skills come into play.

    [Broken External Image]:http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee46/sublime_terrorist/DSCN2733.jpg


    Step Six.

    Once you have the material (the sock) sized up, you want to take the plastic and your lighter, along with the small flathead screw driver and soften up the edge, one segment at a time and use your screwdriver to fold the lip outward.
    Once you do that, hold it in place with the screw driver and give it a few blows to cool it down and hold it in place on its own.

    Step Seven.

    Once you have done that with all of the edges around the nib, you want to take that cloth I spoke of before and lay it in the opposite side of whichever side you choose to use for a nib on the sock and place the cloth and the sock back on the nib and use your screw driver to shove this sock and cloth back in, all around the nibs edge, firmly.
    Once doing so, you want to take your lighter and Heat it up once again, one segment at a time and take the screw driver and fold the small segments back over, onto the sock fabric, pushing the lip of the heated part back over and down against the sock material, locking it in place..

    [Broken External Image]:http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee46/sublime_terrorist/DSCN2734.jpg


    Step Eight. Completion.


    As you can see with this particular nib, I did not heat it and fold it outward, all around, I simply stuffed the sock into it, as hard as I could and then heated it all around, pushing the plastic down into and against the sock, locking it in place..

    You may find the result to be similar to teeth marks..
    As seen here....

    You know what, if you can't say, "hey cool, thanks for the time you took to type up that fucking long ass thing and post all of the pics from scratch"


    Then why the fuck do I bother trying to help pricks like you out?

    And to make the nib swap a bit easier, you can just pull the old nib out and push the edges of the new one into that groove instead of all that melting and whatnot, plus it looks prettier afterwards.
    Not to be hating on your tut code. ;)

    Fuck it, I'm debating on just helping out the kids I think actually need it.

    With a bit of trial and error, these kids can figure out half the shit without me handing my trials and errors over to them from years of being in the shit.
