GospelOner Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Oink, Grof ain't alcohol based ?....what's the base ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8er6 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 throw it away haha it has weak ink. unless u have a great way to modify the ink. thats exactly what i want. a good modifying recipe. this is so gay, the first time i buy ink, it sucks. i want a recipe to use this with it though, i added clear nail polish. and some scotchguard like i did my other recipe. i want to add some shoe dye, the nail polish thickened it up a bit. any suggestions? stainers maybe?

eastcoastghost Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 You guys are wasting your time and money making your own inks out of crappy ingredients. If you want a weatherproof ink that can be buffed, get Marsh. (Think outdoors) If you want an ink that stains hard, and is hard to buff, but doesn't hold up to weather, get Garvey. (Think indoors) Or, if you want a proven, hard to buff, weatherproof ink that won't fade get yourself some Krink or Do 'em Dirty. I have not used Oink or Junobo personally, so I can't say how good they are, but I've heard good things. You can rack pilot ink, but that's pretty much the only ink on the shelves that's worthwhile. No matter what, if they want to buff your shit, they will. Nothing is really permanent since they can always re-paint the surface. Instead of wasting your time asking what new ink combo works, take what you got (or get one of the aforementioned inks), catch some tags, and SEE what works. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from trying something new, but everything has been said before in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8er6 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 ^thats the deal, i did yesterday, it rained and most of of the shit, except the one that was in a covered place, is gone. ill try some mixes of my own. really whats up is im broke as shit most days, and i was suprised that the shit i make was better than eternal. i would be cool to rack pilot, but the only place that carries it is mom and pop stores. i feel bad though, especaily since a lot off good mom and pop shops are going out of business. no, not the sharpie, just the ink. not shoe polish, shoe dye, like leather dye. The ink says permanent, but its not waterproof. and thats why i wanted to know the deal with the dye before i went out and bought some. the pilot ink/leather dye recipe is on page one. just trying to see what any good. I actually racked a black scuff cover kiwi. should i mix the ink with that and leather dye, or just kiwi black?and the clear nail polish doesnt say acetone, but isprospyl alcohol.

eastcoastghost Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I don't know man, who knows if that kiwi shit works, only one way to find out. My guess is it won't last. If you don't want to rack from a mom and pop store (which is probably a good idea) then rack some shit elsewhere, sell it to friends, and buy real ink. Or get a job.

asdf_va! Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 You can put it directly into your markers... but to get the best use out of it, you want to make your mix first, with that in it, and then put your mixed mix into a marker. Either way will work, but the premix is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to discourage anyone from trying something new, but everything has been said before in this thread. you said it best. thanks. I think Grog isn't weather proof...and that pretty much sucks ! Anyway, i'm checkin' it out for yous... The best best best weatherproof ink I heard of is called "Ideal ink" http://www.dragosupply.com/drago/servlet/CyberVendor/category/G7127343/catalog/group.jsp/ check this out (very opaque, covers every inks, matte, real fast drying..) That ink is just perfect for a mop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8er6 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 alright, i was really desperate, and I filled a mini mop made from some eyedrops with kiwi scuff cover(black bottle, brown contents). it takes forever to dry, but its water proof. weird. im thinking of follwing up on what oink said, and mix the two. dark color and water proof, thats cool with me.

nbamlbballer Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 ebay, make sure to buy a good mesh(the size of the dust) i think the higher the mesh number the finner the aluminum particles(pieces). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdf_va! Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Word life. The higher the Mesh Count the finer the particles. This works really well too! Especially with paint mixes. Red with aluminum dust... comes out like automotive touch up paint. Really dope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabiater Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Don't throw nail polish in shit, the acetone isn't the main problem but one of the ingredients in nail polish is the film forming agents which will fuck up a good ink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asdf_va! Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 is there any other substitue i can use for mineral spirits?? think household items...i got One Shot Proper Purple and need to thin it out STOP THE PRESSES!!! DO NOT THIN OUT PROPER PURPLE!!! Thats a Pantone color and is for mixing!! Get a 8oz tin of good oil based rusto. Mix in a couple of spoon fulls of the Proper Purple. MIX MIX MIX. Then thin this new slightly lighter purple, and you still have lots of One shot PropPurp to mix more. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabiater Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I was bored the other day and threw together some real low-end ink, it stains good and has a nice dark purple color but on some plastics the tags dissolve into droplets like regular inks do on some surfaces protected with special wax - what could be the problem behind this? Too weak solvent or traces of water in the ink and is there any simple workaround (mixing it with another ink does the trick but that would wreck the current manufacturing price)?
