johnneh7 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 you dont have to thin that. it drips fine without being thinned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazman Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 walmart has somthing called paint e-z it says it thins without diluting paint. i never had any problems wit paint thinner so i never tried it. why do you need an alternative?

johnneh7 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 put it in a white out pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdf_va! Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 ^^Nothing but truth here. You don't even need to thin it out. Just fill up an empty white out pen with oil based paint... and you're golden. EDIT: Use the white out pen first. Don't empty it. White Out is a great mix. It can be scratched off, but not buffed. If it fades, it's usually from rusted metal and that looks awesome. Philly has known the secret for several decades... use the truth.

Freughtaholic Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 yo i just tried that shit and am completely in love! i definitly have to work on not making such a mess though. i never thought whitout pens were refillable. thanks for the heads up!

asdf_va! Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 If you really want to go the distance... Go to the local Crafts store and get a big empty bottle for puffy paint. There should be a whole section just for puffy painting grandma's sweaters. Get one of those bottles, and do the same. Fill it with oil based paint, and you can squeeze onto ANY surface you want. It's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KARE? Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 yeo i need quick help i read madd pages of this shit but i didnt see this answered.....i made some ink toady and did a few mop tags and the shit is hella nice at staining and dripping but its NOT opaque at all what additive makes ink more opaque after i figure it out ill post up the recipe casue its actually really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdf_va! Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 That's not an easy one. If you want opacity... you have to sacrifice your staining power. Thems the rules. Ink is more of a staining monster. Oil-based paint mixes are the way to go for opacity. Good luck. Sorry I didn't have the answer you might have wanted.

JigaboosPigaboos Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 If you want something good to run through markers try krylon shortcuts model paint. Its thin as ink but goes super opaque on shit. I remember in my first days I mixed that with some alcohol and india ink and then some paint thinner. Doesnt make sense I know but I didnt care. Anyways worked great its perfectly opaque and has been in direct sunlight for the last 6 months probably with little/no fading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuki Nagato Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Oh man I love ink. I caught a tag on a bathroom wall today that was painted white and I was able to watch the ink actually soak into the paint. Leaving a delicious raspberry colour that I am sure will be fun to clean. Also bump ballpoint pen ink. Free and easy to make, serves as a decent base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heirkb Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 aight so ive tried the ballpoint pen ink with alcohol but i have another question (how annoying...ha). i was wondering if you could replace the alcohol with lacquer thinner. actually what is lacquer thinner even made to thin? and also, i recently got hella bingo dabbers for free (ill share the link if you want, some other cat put it up a while ago) and i was wondering what its ink is made of. is it waterbased or is it alcohol based? if its alcohol i might be able to use it for something... thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skag Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Bingo dauber ink is waterbased and rubs off on your finger, and I got that link and did it too, sweet fucking link but lets not share that shit because they're continuing to send me samples but I don't want them to catch on. They even sent me their special "Art Daubers". Don't know about lacquer thinner but the obvious thing to do would be to google it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
