Unfreakin' believable! This ink mixture that spilled has lots of dot3 in it. I placed a bunch of paper towels on it and a paint can for weight and when i got home to clean it, the paper towel soaked it all up! No trace of the black ink, but it did leave a very light grease stain. I'm pretty relieved. Thank god for DOT 3 slow drying property
Thanks for the tip. I was thinking that would be the best way.

I had a lil cup of pilot ink and dot 3 mixed up and left it there. I just knocked the damn shit over! Anyone know a good way to clean it up?!
I know pilot comes off easily with xylol, acetone, or any other strong thinner. Getting it out of your carpet? That's tough. I think you may have to soak it with paint thinner, and then go over it with one of those wet-vac carpet cleaning machines. I know when I was a kid my mom would rent one from the local market. Rent-a-Center or some place like that ought to have one.

KIWI MOPS
----------------
Okay, so I know about kiwi mops. But the last time I used one was years ago. I started shopping the 99 cent stores whom sell kiwi like mops for 99 cents. But I've already gone through 3 mops because the nibs keep on ripping off. One ripped off after 2 tags! What a jip! I was wondering if anyone of you guys have the same problems using the round circular kiwi mops. Do they rip off on ya? Anyway to make these nibs stronger?
-
I dunno about the bingo markers, but i do recommend some of the liquid glue containers that are exactly like the bingo markers but better. They come in various sizes that have stronger nibs than the foamy bingo nibs. Check your 99 cent stores and staionary shops for these. Empty the glue (save for later if you like).

Does anyone know of a particualr store(s) where i can find a bingo marker?

yeah, last night i was pretty amazed when i took a tag right onto an big ol oil paint splotch. It made a pretty cool wrinkly effect within seconds. Not bad. Wonder if it works well by itself. Once a cleaner sees a black tag, he'll paint right over it. But just going for the ghost tag on painted surfaces might have some advantages. Plus how can anyone get busted for taking invisible tags?
Originally posted by bumsuckfun@Feb 22 2005, 10:52 PMi shoudl also probably throw in that it's Brake Fluid's corrosive properties to paint that are more important than its corrosive properties to metal... it doesn't take long for brake fluid to damage a painted surface and leave ghost tags... ever spill some on a painted car part? in fact, most car fluids are damaging to painted surfaces...
anyone ever try paint stripper in their ink?

DOT3 Brake Fluid
-------------------
This stuff is really cheap. It's a yellowish oily liquid like cooking oil that you can get for $1.99 at your hardware or auto shop. At first it looked like it makes a great solution with regular pilot ink and creates more of it. But it makes your black ink bleed (on paper) and a lighter shade of black.No one has mentioned how long it takes before you start seeing it's corrosive effects. It can take weeks. So I'll run some metal tests and see how long before i see any results at home before I try and waste my time with it on the outside. Is there anyone out there that swears on using this stuff? I'm still testing the shit, if anyone has any positive views on it, please share.
So far, I think you can save yourself the hassle of using the stuff. It seems to be an oily waste.

shit, I just need to give you mad props on that mighty awesome step by step illustration of the tic tac marker. But sadly, using the tic tac marker loses one of it's purposes of being miniture. Perhaps using a zippo container would be the best idea of having a concealed marker. The only problem is that zippo containers are not cheap.
Originally posted by damngraffitivandal@Feb 18 2005, 01:29 AMtic tac instructions:
materials:
* 2 tic tac containers (the orange kind, this is important)
* super glue (or wax if you want a refillable marker)
* xacto knife
* chalk board eraser
* ink or non xylene paint
alright, youve got all your shit, clear off a space and get started.
empty your tic tac boxes:
cut out the tops of the boxes (the white part):
glue the tops together top to top:
jam some eraser nib stuff into the bottom of one of the tops:
fill one of your tic tac boxes with ink or paint:
use glue (permanent) or wax (refillable, might break open) to secure your nib and top creation to the tic tac box:
use the other tic tac box as a cap, you could be done:
OR: if you want to make it more compact...
take your tic tac boc cap and cut it open:
flip the bottom piece (the one u cut out) upside down and put it back in the rest of the box and glue it in place:
seal the inside of your new cap with wax:
you are done:
in addition, you could cut down the tic tac cap box and glue a correctly sized piece of plastic to it, it would be more compact.
and that is my tic tac marker tutorial.

try using a tic tac container, im working on one right now, its sorta hard, but think about it a little bit and you should have a cool design
wow, that's right.. I wish that there was a cap on it though. But that's definately a thought. Perhaps theres a work around on that... I was also thinking zippo containers... But i'm looking for something on that level...

Can anyone recommend or think of a good container to use to make a small marker the size of a rectangular eraser? I don't want to use the ol chapstick method. Something the size of one strip of a chalkboard eraser cut in half 3" x .75. A square container is preferred. Thanks all

nah, oil based enamel is perfect
Originally posted by foneiz2@Feb 6 2005, 08:22 AMis enamel paint the wrong stuff to use to mak krink???????

It's really quite possible. Change the nib if you can. I had a problem with some silver paint flowing thru my nib. Til changing the nib fixed the issue. I thought it was the paint. But the nib was just defective somehow.
Originally posted by foneiz2@Feb 6 2005, 08:16 AMjuist made some krink with chrome paint andsilver paint and and i dont think i used too much thinner but it isnt atall opaque. could the marker nib be filtering all the stuff that makes it opaque? :yuck:
-
Yeah, stainer and xylene is great. Just add enough xylene to get it a lil drippier as stainer is very thin already. There's a shit load of staining colors out there too. I prefer brown on brown so you get a more earthy looking tag, but there's green, blue and other colors. But the problem is being able to add a sealer to the mix so that it last even longer.
Originally posted by panakeii@Feb 5 2005, 02:07 PMI've heard that some people have
used stainers such as gentian violet
dissolved in water (i.e. not ink), has
anyone tried to mix just xylene, dot3 and
stainer/additive?
Sounds like it might get a dodgy
consistency but applied with a mop
or a griffin dauber it should be nasty
to buff.

I'll vote on angrykid's loser piece. It's clean and tight. No smudges, good letters. Went all out with the abstracts... reminds me of a cool paint slash.
-
Yeah, throw me in for that dig battle. But I need to know that it's legit, and I don't like giving my address to just random folks who say they're gonna send me free prizes... So I dunno how that'd work out for the winner.

I'm sure you could. In fact i have a bunch of krylon auto touch up paint markers. I don't care for it's paint though. I never cared for car paint but it should work.
The main question though is whether or not paint thinner and the varnish you are using is compatible with the auto paint you are using or if together can create a good solution for a paint marker. I've never added varnish to my markers before. I've always thought of varnish as a second coat that you add when the paint has dried. So to mix it WITH the paint? I wonder if that is a good idea or not. Try it and let us know.
Originally posted by Eur0duB@Feb 1 2005, 09:07 PMCould I use auto paint in my marker? I would add some paint thinner and probably some varnish.
I got the marker from a website that gave them away free if you claimed you eneded it for buisness use, I would like another, anyone remember this thread?

White ink was given to me by a friend. Acouple small containers full. The bottles were about 4 maybe 5 inches high and 2in x 1in on the bottom. It wasn't labeled so I'm not completely sure it was Marsh, but considering this kid was a fucking fanboy, it's highly likely.
Oh, there was also a ball that was connected to the cap.. sort of like what you find in bubble containers, but this ball was made to soak up the ink.
Anyway, the ink bubbled a lot. And I don't remember for sure but I think it made the foam applicator expand on the mop (sort of like what spray paint does). There was nothing spectacular about it other than I was more visible on dark surfaces for awhile. I'd say just buy some white bucket paint and thin it out.
If it looks like this: [attachmentid=6689] attached to the cap, it's a dauber brush, which I usually saw on old griffen bottles. It sounds like you got white shoe dye. Unless your friend filled them up with white marsh for ya.
The problem with white paint bucket mixes is that they not made for markers without liquid valves. I'm looking to make a marker with ink, not paint. Paint tends to get streaky. And inks solid when wet. Though the idea of people making white or silver ink makes me think that it's paint...
Hope someone here can throw some science my way on this.

Anyone ever try that white marsh ink? Any comments on it?

im guessing he likes to stir it with a pen or whatever..personally, i just like to throw in a marble and mix it up like that..i like the small mouth jars the best, because without them, i hafta use my tiny ass squeejy thing to collect the ink, and poor it in...it takes forever :(
I use thick wooden popsicle stirs sticks used for coffee or qtips depending what stage of mixing I'm at or if I'm experimenting. I used to use a marble but better left in cans and paint markers as they make too much noise. Plus large batches are better mixed with sticks. But you need to use a funnel. Here's my old funnel. You can see some of the various colors I made in it

though i have plenty of clear bottles as well as blues and greens, with my inks i dont care much about color. i just throw my best staining shit together and write with it. when i want a dope color i will use rusto bucket paint. why do you like wide mouth jars better? it makes it more difficult to pour into a small marker. anyway, whatever floats your boat.
You'll need a funnel either way. Either to get chemicals into the bottle and out of it. Plus I use ladels, eye droppers and I like to see the color I'm working with right away from the top. Especially when color is important to me as an artist

Those foam sponges I think work better for ink or paint mops. I've never tried making an ink mop yet, but paint mops rule. They soak up paint much better and then you can squeeze and push it onto the wall. But it needs to be in a squeezable bottle for squeezing out the paint.
But those foamys aren't that strong. There must be a way to keep them in better shape. But replacing the nib will have to do for now.
