Black Ghetto Garvey:stolen Things you need: Charcoal Alchohol Black Pens Mixing container coffee filter -Go get some charcoal, REAL charcoal, preferably willow. Pinecones work too. Do not use BBQ charcoal, as it's mixed with sand, you're best option is to make it yourself, or go down to the beach, there's usually some driftwood with a thick layer of charcoal. -Next you're going to need to break the charcoal into small peices and grind it up, a coffee grinder works well. Make sure it's a fine powder, use a pestle and mortor if you have to. (Pestle and motor is a bowl and round stick used in cooking certain cultural dishes... Or summoning dragons.) -Alchohol, the higher percent the better. -Pour the alchohol into a large container with a sealed lid, add more charcoal than you think you need. -Shake as much as possible, let it sit for a while (a day if you can) and shake some more. -Pour through a coffee filter into another container, and back through the filter into the original container. This takes out any insoluable charcoal. -Test your ink. -If it's decently opaque break open some black pens and get as much in there as needed, it should be as opaque as india ink. (don't worry it doesn't buff nearly as easy) -Get some additives in there (fish oil, methylene blue, gentian violate(sp) etc.) -If it's not very opaque (before the pens) add more powdered charcoal and repeat the previous steps as neccesary. Tips: The longer you let it sit the better, warming the alchohol also helps to mix it, although. I don't suggest it, as some people in here may light themselves on fire. This doesn't stain as hard as regular garvey, but it doesn't fade as easily in the sun. It also works a lot better than the original ghetto garvey (violet)
sorry to post this dumb question but If I throw like fifty pens in that container will it work? see that blue stain on my wall? I cut a pack a those and it slowly seeped and dripped to the floor (250 mils...does rubbing alcwork????)
yes rubbing alcohol works. id use about like a 100ish ml for 50 pens though. i suck at converting ml to oz to cups so yeah.
I always wondered if that would work I'm always looking for ink supplies that are easy to get a hold of.
an ounce is approx 30ml. so i use ten pens per ounce you would use about 120ml with all the pens you have.
Hey you guys! So many new users....all the old ones seem to be gone...haha i guess i was believed to be dead....yeah sorry....a LOT happened...im still alive and kickin! Just now, im a practicioner of the Black Arts..(Black Magick ) Great stuff......anyone interested on the subject PM me! haha.... Just wanna say hey to all the old! Ill visit a little more now...but to contribute to prevent being bitched at if the mods are the same and i still hated by ALL mods and loved by all users (haha, im a MOD KILLA!!!!!!) http://www.oppictures.com/singleimages/400/SAN58757_1_1_400.JPG ^^somebody mentioned this? Yeah, great stuff, i HIGHLY suggest thinning it with alcohol....but yes its great potential stuff people...not gon' lie!!! People should add blood to their ink....make it harder staining! Haha.....Im not joking though seriously....haha.....no really do it. (Now ill watch as the crowd can decipher if im being serious or not....im such a bitch...)
There should be a thin line between the body and the nib. Just wedge it free with a exacto knife. I always get them of with my teeth but getting DED on your face is not smart.
haha well a while ago i was on wikipedia and searched stain and then there was a list of what common things stain and blood was one of them. lol someone try it.
Taken From Smokey of StencilRevolution.com I was wondering on using this for things OTHER than mixing paint. How about using the once female cap on a female can. A lot of female caps spray skinnier/fatter lines than male caps, maybe this will help with the new Painters Touch thing going around. Idk, if it works lemme know. I've got a bunch of female caps and I will just rack some stock caps.
that second can (silver one) that he has is that pic os the PERFECT size can. its some hair spray shit called Kenra, my gf always has a can in her purse but i never see here use it hahaha
hey guys i did the ink with the pens and the alchool and i dunno why first of all its not opaque and its really to thin i got a zig 2 way glue amrker and it flow right tru the nib so how can i make it more opaque and less thin?i used 36 pens for 450 ml alchool anyway pm or post back thx
That seems like not enough pens. The recipe is originally 100pen:1 cup of iso. Edit: Just converted ml to cups. You added almost 2 fucking cups of isopropyl bro no wonder that shit is thin as fuck. For 36 pens use a little less than half a cup or 118ml so you don't have to convert.
