Something old, something new

this sounds really really nice. im deffinitly going to try this one out.

ok, so you say no go on the paint in the marker, but what if i thin it down like mad to a pertty much ink consitancy. also if i really dont mind about the nib because i can jusst use a peice of an eraser evertime it dries out, then would it be ok. or is there a problem with thepaint actaully goign throught the nib, or the valve system?

scratch that, i opend it was just a really really stuck one. they glue them actually. anyone know of places that sell marsh? i dont want to buy it offline, but will like homedepot or places like that have it?

i went to all the store around, art and office none had refill ink, they only had that india ink which i heard is crap and sunami i htink. well i picked up another zig, a biggie 50 says that you cant open it and ive tryed. my last zig the 2 way glue one just spun off counterclockwise, how can i open up this 50?

to open it...u turn the top part to the right instead of the left. if you dont know what imean by top part...its the white part under the cap..just twist it to the right. Quoted post that doesnt work, i've got one and i've been trying for days, im about to just break that ho off.. Quoted post jus picked one up. the reason it's stuck is because theres glue thats dried up in there holding the valve in place. you just gotta turn until it breaks up. the valve will sit in there fine, it just wont be glued in. mine works great. dont use pliers, youlll break the plastic, just twist as hard as you can the opposite of the way you normally would. make sure you put that bitch in a ziploc when you fill it though, it leaks inside the cap a little...it hasnt leaked into my pocket yet, but just in case. make sure you pump it really well for a long time. that nib takes a while to juice up. otherwise you get streaky lines and itll dry out before the end of the tag. good luck. Quoted post [/b] yeah, i have the same thing it was kind of hard to open at first, but make sure you turning it the wrong way, turn it to the right, the threads are backwards. what are you guys putting in your 2 way zig glue maerker? i havent gotten anything together yet but i want to know what you guys like. also willl thinned out paint go through that nib on the zig? and last, anyone know if replacement nibs are available, i havent found any yet.

first post. ive got this zig marker and emptied it, ive got some stamp pad refill ink and i tried using it, but after a few days of rain and stuff its faded like mad. what can i add to make it stain more? will leather dye work? also can i thin out some of this sherwin williams floor enamel, like for garaage floors that i have and use it in my marker. how can i test to see if the paint will flow through my nib. its a zig 2 way glue marker. i dont want to get it all set up and the paint not flow.
