First, I frequent this thread quite often, and have learned quite a bit thanks to everyone for that! I still have never seen a good answer to this question I've tried a few of the recipes on here some which include Marsh and Garvey they do the job but i noticed i used Montana INk which i known isnt the greatest but is definatly improved by some dot3 and runs a little better with some waffle syrup and that shit is butter!! But with these homemade inks i cant get it to shine like the montana. I dont expect montana to give away any secrets but i was hoping i could count on somebody to let me know what i can add to an ink recipe to add a real nice gloss (ink not paint).
