6OF1 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 OK, I'm hungry, I've got to go to work and I haven't got up a single tag today, so I am out of here until at least to-morrow. I don't know why no-one can email me from here, but I'll see what's up with that. 6OF1 out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

religion Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Much respect 6OF1, thanks very much for the response. I'll have to use garvey / hard to buff for now, hopefully the results will be just as sexy as with the montana ink. Thanks again, your advice has been priceless!

destroya Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 anybody use sumi ink before? i really wanted a nice, opaque black ink, whether hard to buff or not. i was already sure it sucked, but not to this magnitude. i decided to give it the benefit of the doubt, and consequently wasted a gardencraft with it. for me, it only worked on unfinished wood and paper. surfaces it didn't work on: aluminum, plastic, and fishished wood. anyone else ever use it before?

destroya Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 upon closer look at the dried product on paper, it's become obvious that this is a strictly paper and cloth-use oriental calligraphy ink. however, my requests for other's experiences with sumi ink still stands.

Guest sneak Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 corio is nice. it has nice colours (purple is my fav. but blue works well too) it has a tendancy to ade though in spots where the sun hits, but thats after a while. a bitch to get off your hands / clothes though.

Yes, I've used sumi ink, both hand-ground and pre-mixed. Sumi ink is good for sumi, which I suck at. When it gets wet, it goes back to being ink again, like gouache goes back to being paint when it gets wet. Not suitable for getting up at all. Waterproof india ink would be a better bet if you were looking for a carbon pigment based ink. (Black Cat is the best and cheapest I've ever found.) Be seeing you.

6OF1 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Bad News Looks like Sanford doesn't make the purple stamp pad ink anymore. And, the two bottles I thought I had were actually blues. They were at the back of the cabinet and I just assumed they were purple. Crap. Time to find a substitute. On the other hand, the Permanent Black ("Jet Black") looks useful... Check it out I mean, it even has "POISON" on the label -- it has to be awesome. Also, Cosco (who make Garvey) have stamp pad ink as well. Be seeing you.

nozaki Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 one shot all the way...that shit comes in leathal colors and is glossy as hell...plus it drips really nice and covers good...that's hard to come by with most homade paint...usually rusto bucket (except for the silver of coarse) either covers good but doesn't really drip, or drips nice but doesn't cover good... one shot with a little bit of mineral spirits(or better yet one shot thinner) in a stamp pad eraser = a fun time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6OF1 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Re: WHAT THE FUCK Originally posted by WhiteOx ok so i aquired some violet garvey and was horrified it fades..I dropped a tag three days ago and its faded dramatically to a fuken grey colour - also it doesnt stain..I have been hitting places that i know get the buff and there has been no stain whatsover to make matters worse i dropped a tag on a desk..the next day i tried to buff it and i rubbed it off with a fucken pencil eraser with EASE!!! wHAT THE FuCK??? I've been giving this some thought and it occurred to me that there were some things that I haven't expounded upon as of yet. Inks made from or mixed with stamp pad and/or price marking inks take longer to dry. They're more susceptible to buffing during the first day or two they're up. This includes being affected by the weather. Mixing with a marker ink like Marsh, Nero or OTR484 will speed the drying time somewhat, but the same rule applies. This is not entirely a bad thing, since the dyes in the ink(s) will have longer to work the surface they're on. Using straight Sanford or Garvey is almost a waste of time, because they will stay wet too long. You don't want your ink to dry too fast, but you also don't want it to dry too slow, either. So, keep this in mind and keep the stamping and pricing inks to about 50% max of your mixture. With stamp pad ink I would even hesitate to go above 25%. A lot of stamping inks contain glycerine to keep them from drying up in the pad. This causes them to dry very slowly, so you don't want too much -- besides, stamping ink goes a long way. Garvey contains a proprietary "polyamid resin mixture". This is to make it waterproof once it has dried. I'm doing a few experiments with shellac and laquer added to inks to see if I can increase their resistance to weather and buff... Be seeing you.

Wow. Well, in that case: Gleður mig að kynnast þér That sounds like a lot of work to get the same effect as adding some of the PearlEx pigments. Good for taking out your frustration on bad CDs, though. Be seeing you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destroya Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 nah, that's not the problem. when i first got my baby biggie, i took rinses advice and switched the valve with a regular zig valve. upon doing this, i examined them, and the part of the valve that gets pushed down is different. it's shaped so that more fluid comes out when depressed. here's a rough diagram of the tip: | |___ | ¯¯--i | __--' |¯¯¯ | if you don't get it, get a fresh baby biggie and a fresh zig of any other kind.

I don't know about black, but see if you can get red, its the next best thing next to purple. You can get 4oz purple Fiebings off of ebay for $4.50 + $2.50 shipping. I imagine black would be good because it can't be any different then Griffin, they are both pretty much the same product. You already know its going to stain, just because its a different color isn't going to mean its complete shite, but purple will just stain better.. I would go for it.
