    Hey shai id love to see a recipe, pm me if you can.

    Here's my latest black ink recipe...it's simple, but the inks I'm using right now are difficult if not downright impossible to find. Some of them are on the Web, though, so if you are good at finding stuff there and persistent enough, you can find them or adequate substitutes.

     

    Here it is- I'll explain what each ink is, and what I think it does for the mix. A big hint I can give you is that I only use industrial grade, solvent based stamping inks...That's what all these are sold for, so if you find a good commercial rubber stamp source, you're in. As far as bluffing them into thinking you're legit, that's entirely up to you.

     

    Two parts Marsh T-Grade, black- for stencilling boxes and crates. I use this for its flat black color, and the drips.

     

    One part Garvey XT-70, black or violet- old school pricing gun/cash register ink- obsolete and hard to find. This is the stain.

     

    One part Aero Specialty ink, black- another commercial stamping ink that's acetone based. Rare, and expensive (about $32/pint). This adds opacity, and the acetone evaporates quickly so the ink dries faster.

    This is one of my all-time favorites, and highly recommended.

     

    Mix all three in a glass bottle by shaking it for a few minutes. Then I add a little japan drier to help it mix and to speed drying.

     

    There you go..good luck with finding some of that stuff. BTW, every ine of those inks work really well alone, so don't dump full bottles of them into a batch...I usually make this out of small quantites of leftover ink. Sometimes, other ink goes into the batch, but the first three are the ones you really need to find to copy this mix.

     

    Sometimes, I'll add Fiebing's USMC black leather dye for a stain if I have it, but it's also hard to find. Be creative, and don't mix water based ink with solvent inks. That's the biggest rule that no one seems to cover.... :rolleyes:

    First of all thank you for posting your image thing again. And your comments. It was probobly the nib i was using. I have tried many different things, socks, sheets of felt rolled up, chalkbord erasers, etc. but although some flow better than others none of them have ever givin me a drip or even flowed out without squeezing the container except for a pilot mop but that one flowed way too much and wouldnt stop leaking all over the place like when i took the top off it would go everywhere.

     

    Second I have read this and the marker mod thread front to back a few times and i always stay updated on posts here. I forgot about his tutorial and it was a little too specific because i am using different containers. And gates your pretty damn annoying dont assume shit.

     

    Kiwis kick ass thats what i mostly use for a mop but if i try to put some other kind of nib on it it doesnt flow well. I need to get some chalk erasers or some shit.

    my mops flow fine and drip like a bitch when i want it too..you must have control over your mop..if it just randomly does shit then somethings wrongo..WRONGO

     

    Now whenever I make a mop it usually has really shitty flow or it just fuckin leaks all over the place, or the nib falls out. But usually its the previous. So mmy question is how can i improve the flow quality on my mops? Maybe someone could post detailed insturctions on how to make a nice mop, and i dont mean like a. get a container b. fill it with ink c. fold a piece of chalkboard eraser in half and stick it in the top, cause i know all that. if someone could provide some actual help i would seriously appreciate it.

I don't think I should waste paint on a Name that isn't mine, just to take a picture and post it on the net. By the way, I can use spray paint, I'm not an invalid to graffiti ... I feel you though, by the way, what do you write?

     

    Couldn't have said it better myself. Also, I dont really give a shit about the scores or whos better than who and all that crap. thats not what its about. Its really about everyone putting out some of their best work and then checking out everyones styles. And thats a really dope concept.
