  1. ...is there something i can/should do to avoid this shit...this sucks...happened to my yellow and silver mops cause i was chillin for a week or two...

     

    ^^Sorry to be the one to say it...

    But you are just not using that mop

    enough. If you find that you are not

    going to be using as often as you should*,

    you should be shaking it up at least every

    2-3 days to keep the thinner/paint mixed.

     

    Otherwise... it's becomes that sad deflated

    piece of plastic with a dried out rubber nib.

     

    *Should is up to interpretation in that

    sentence. It's up to you use it as much as

    you see fit... but once every week or so...

    You gotta switch up to a different mop every

    day or so and you can get a great variety

    going for you.

     

    Good luck.

  2. does anyone know howcome when i put turpentine and oil based rustoleum bunket paint in a unipaint it comes out already faded, and not a drippy mess? the turpentine is only about 1/4 to 1/8 of the mix.

     

    Turp isn't the best for moving the paint

    through something like a Uni. You could

    get by with Turp in a mop, but not a Uni.

    Actually... Thinner and paint in a Uni only

    work but so good, for me at least. There

    is something else in the Uni mix that lets

    it flow better. You can try taking the nib out

    of the Uni and cutting slices off of both ends

    and trying it then. Sometimes the paint will

    gunk up in the nib. Cutting the ends gets

    your flow back sometimes.

     

    Good luck.

  3. ^^I was about to say the same thing.

    I have never put DOT3 in ink before.

    They have opposing bases, but it's

    good to know that it works for you.

     

    I have to use a fair amount to get

    any ghosting at all, and doing this

    makes the paint oily and it takes

    hours to set and days to dry.

     

    I will have to try it out in ink...

    You should post some flicks of the

    buff with the ghost still showing.

  4. I have come to the conclusion that

    both are equally useless. Not trying

    to be a jerk, or smart ass...

     

    But they both are worthless additives

    for your paint mixes. Found something...

     

    Let's just say something better.

    I have to try it out first to make sure it

    does work correctly and then I will post

    my findings. But seriously... Fish Oil and

    Dot3 are too heavy and greasy to add to

    your mixes. It screws up your drying time.

     

    Yeah...

  5. i meant some recipes with indian ink

    cause it doesnt stain too good

    will adding brake fluid solve it?

     

    Start by figuring out the base. I will help you

    on that one... India ink is Water based.

     

    Now... what you want to search for, not on

    this site but out on google, and in hardware

    stores, you want to look for water based

    stainer. For wood, leather, anything... if it's

    water based stain... just mix it with the

    India Ink.

     

    Good luck.

  6. SOAKER - All I was saying is that if you are on top

    of the game and going nation wide as a writer, you

    aren't going to be looking like a bum.

     

    It's also impossible to not be, or at least look like,

    a consumer in America... Unless you are a bum.

     

    asdf always has some opinion of some goings ons on the internet ive noticed over time..check thyself before you wreck thyself.

     

    ^^Opinions will come and go. You can't stop mine,

    and I won't stop yours. Check that.

  7. consumers are whores. so it is arguable that it does make you less of a man, and in turn more of a toy.

     

    ^^As you type that from a computer on the internet.

     

    I don't know a single, real, writer that doesn't hold an

    heir of quality, fashion, and general well to do'ness.

     

    Regardless if they stole, bought, made, or was handed

    down their gear... they still looked good and at the same

    time exuded the essence of ownership or consumerism.

     

    This talk of Consumers and Whores in relation to being

    a man, or a toy... You are comparing apples and oranges.

     

    Don't label people too soon.

  8. I usually fill my mop like almost to the top and then add just a tiny bit of thinner that works fine.

    I wish theyd make those cans easier to pour from though christ.

     

    ^^Use a Turkey Baster. It's that time of year and they

    are mad cheap. It's what I use for bucket paint... anything

    thinner though, like inks, will just not keep a suction and

    will seep out. But for the bucket paint... works like a charm.

     

    Good luck.

  9. The best mix you will ever use is the

    basic glossy black oil based rusto with

    basic paint thinner. It's simple and cheap.

     

    If your shit is getting buffed, having more

    staining power isn't going to help you. You

    just need to hit up more spots in places the

    buff can't get to and reclaim old spots. It's

    the give/take of writing.

  10. That recipe is the biggest joke.

    If you go about 25 pages into this

    thread, you see a bunch of fake recipes

    like that one. Only squares and toys have

    ever attempted to put maple syrup, eggs,

    or any other foods into their mix. And freezing

    anything will not make a streak.

     

    But it's still entertaining to see these mixes come

    back from the grave... you know, where it belongs.

  11. ^^Are you a cave-man/Jar Jar Binks enthusiast?

    People never look at the first page...

     

    But they should.

     

    I'm bored and I need drugs to have a good time...

    Sike. But I love drugs none the less. I didn't actually

    do any drugs tonight, but if I had... I wouldn't be on

    the internet now. Food is about ready and life couldn't

    really get any better. Drop out of school now! Don't

    take Flu shots, and for all that it's worth... Live free

    lives doing exactly what you want to do.

    Fuck yeah.
