you should post pics of the tags done with acrylic^^^

 

alright mr. nuts, i managed to get my hands on supplies and a mop for my paint mix, the tic tac mop.(orange tic tacs are fucking tasty :D ) i used the old school ones. and the reason you want to buy white(or closest to it) outdoor acrylic latex oops paint from home depot and some of that cheap ass 2 oz paint from hobby lobby or walmart is so you can get better colors, coverage and durabilty. the 2 oz acrylic provides your color, while your outdoor latex acrylic provides coverage and durability. you can use the thinned outdoor alone, but who wants off white handstyles? the cheap paint on its own is shit. i thinned out the mix with water(no alcohol, acetone kills tic tacs), and my ratio was:

 

1 part water

1 part colored cheap acrylic(cobalt blue, apple barrel)

1 part of the outdoor shit(behr).

remember, you can save cash by getting the oops paint from home depot. a pint for a dollar.

i used a batch of this same stuff before(excect i had green apple) and it has lasted rain and shine. the dry time will be quicker if you use alcohol to thin it, as it evaporates faster.

(note: this is not what i write. i dont like putting out too much intel of me on the web)

also, the ghetto krink recipe that was posted a few pages back that was based off of white out and nail polish remover is shit. i used BIC wite-out and kroger nail polish remover and put it in a chapstick mop. it comes out of clothes with water for god's sake! it also doesnt even do that great of a job on paper either. i guess you can use the shit if your desperate, but your better off using the oops paint and some water. it's cheaper anyways. and if your lucky, some times they have oil based oops paint. if your too broke for thinner, you can thin it with nail polish remover with a high acetone content that you can pick up from the dollar store. just dont put that shit in a tic tac mop. acetone will eat the hell out of the it, same for BAZIC bingo markers, push pop markers, and some medicine bottle mops.

I like how inks/paints are evolving. Can't wait to see all the sick colors in the city in a couple of years. My recent two, ultragloss metallic candy shiz;

The one on the right wasn't properly mixed yet when i took the flix though. Sometimes you're tempted to let the shit sit for a couple of days without mixing before you throw it in a mop just to get swirly separations .)

 

..........U willing to tell yur recipe?.............

The other ink recipe threads are dying, and nobody wants to read through 10 pages to find what they want. Therefore I decided to start a new one. This thread is intended for those who don't know much about ink to start learning. I'm giving it my best shot to answer all of your questions.

 

Now, lets take a primer in Ink 101.

 

INK VS. PAINT

There's two main things you can use as a base for your recipe: inks/dyes, or bucket paint. Ink and bucket paint do not mix with each other.

 

If you're into getting custom colors that no one else has, get yourself some small containers of bucket paint. Two recommended brands are Rustoleum and One-Shot. While most people have heard of Rusto and know of it for its thickness, One Shot is less well known but has a lot of nice colors and comes out super glossy or metallic. Sign painters use it for their work; it's tough shit and it contains lead, so be careful. Bucket paint is not as permanent as a lot of inks, and really does not stain too well at all, but it usually will not weather away quickly and is still slightly hard to buff. Make sure you get oil-based. You can't put paint in most markers, so it's recommended that you put it in a mop, preferably a Kiwi. If you want more drips, be sure to thin out the paint with mineral spirits. Do NOT thin with xylene if your mop is plastic, as xylene eats plastic away.

 

Onto the inks. If you're into shit that stains hard, love the colors black and/or violet, and want your shit to last long and sink deep into the surface, this is the shit for you. Pretty much every ink is alcohol based, as is leather dye. Marsh ink is about the most well known in the US. In my experiences, it's not that much different from Pilot ink, though a little more expensive and slightly harder to buff (but it's not going to make much of a difference). Anyways, ink looks good on a wall, flows well through the marker, and is relatively hard to buff, but usually won't stain hard or leave a ghost. Now, on to leather dye. This is the shit when it comes to nice colors, leaving a nasty stain, and being some of the hardest shit to buff. So why don't you just use leather dye as ink and leave out the Marsh/Pilot ink? Well, truth is, it looks like fucking water color paint when applied to a wall, and it doesn't flow as well. You gotta mix it with ink. Some popular brands are Griffin, which you can find at Walgreens, and Fiebing's. The hardest staining colors made by Fiebing's are violet and red. Be very careful when handling this shit - if it drips anywhere in the house, it's damn hard to clean off. Now on to brake fluid. Why do people use brake fluid in there recipes ? Brake fluid is corrossive and eats through paint and into the wall, kind of like what etch does to glass, except not as permanent. Anyways, it's good stuff. You can find it at Walgreens, also. Make sure you get DOT3 and don't add too much into your recipe.

 

Now, the recipes.

 

NUMBER ONE : HARD STAINING HOME MADE INK

Get a jar. Put in either Pilot ink or Marsh as your base, and add some Griffin, less than or equal to the amount of Pilot. Now get some Fiebing's leather dye, and add it to the batch, preferably red or purple, as they stain the hardest. Next, get some brake fluid, and give a generous amount - not too little, but definitely not too much as it will affect the flow. Mix that shit around. You can also try boiling them together and then using a thinner, as they'll thicken when heated. Personally, I've never tried heating / boiling any of my inks. If you want, you can try adding Gentian Violet or Methylene Blue (the additive).

 

Next, put it in your marker. Let's pretend you have a Pilot, since they're the easiest to refill and one of the best markers around. Simply unscrew the top, and drop some ink in there until it's slightly overflowing above the cotton. Now, screw the top back on, open the marker and let the ink drop through the nib and land back into the jar. This will get the nib nice and juicey. You can also put this into a mop. This shit is going to stain hard and leave a ghost once its buffed, so the only way to really get rid of it is paint over it (and certain things just don't get painted over, signs for instance).

 

NUMBER TWO : HOME MADE KRINK

This ones for homemade Krink. Krink is a recipe made by KR from New York ; you can buy his shit off http://www.fourthehardway.com or get more info at http://www.krink.com . He charges 15 bucks ; if you want to know the exact proportions to the recipe, buy some and let the ingrediants settle over time and seperate. Anyways, this is some of the easiest shit to make yourself at home. First, get some Rusto Aluminum paint. Its nice and silver. Next get some Paint thinner. Mix it to whatever proportion you want - the more thinner, the more drippy. You can also add a little bit of brake fluid, for staining power, and aluminum dust for shines.

 

CHAPSTICK MARKER RECIPE

This is a recipe I typed awhile back in the Tools of the Trade thread.

 

http://www.digitalpose.com/mbr/1/30857/p/586256_1848702380118416111_vl.jpg'>

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

- Chapstick container.

- Pilot ink, or whatever you prefer.

- A candle and matches.

- A felt chalk board eraser.

- An eyedropper (comes with Pilot ink).

 

1. Get the chapstick container, empty out the chapstick and clean out the container.

 

2. Melt some wax into it from the candle, so that the bottom is sealed and won't leak any ink.

 

3. Put in your ink of choice with the eyedropper. i used pilot because it's cheap and flows fine.

 

3. Get the felt eraser. Rip off one of the strips. cut it about 1/4. Shove that bit into the container, just make sure you can get the cap back on.

 

4. Finally, get the eyedropper back out and drip some ink onto the nib until it becomes juicy. After that you're ready to go. When the nib gets dry, rejuice it with the eye dropper and ink.

 

 

Any questions are welcome. I'm constantly answering them and editing the front page to contain more information.

It's the usual thinned out oilbased paint with some other things thrown in. The only difference is the usage of 2 different colors, one metallic and one color. The purple/gold makes a reddish copper tint and the other one is chrome/pink.

 

Right now I can't get it really thin without losing some of the look/feel so i'm stuck to no-drips-mode but still working on it.
