GOLA Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 probably already been answered i appoligize for asking if it has but what is the biggest marker that you can buy as far as tip width that is round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdf_va! Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Not very big. You can make a large one... but a large bottle of Kiwi shoe polish is the biggest round nib that I know of. Anyone else?? Alternatively you can take any canister, plastic bottle and mount a rolled up felt eraser strips to create wide round marker. But I think kiwi is your best bet. They don't look big, but when you drop em with a good INK, not paint, you get big bold lines that flow and drip. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLA Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 yeah i would i just suck at making mops and markers it isnt my strong point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdf_va! Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Go with the old trusty. The Kiwi mop is tip top! It's too big in my opinion. Unless you are trying to play bingo with god and the cards are super huge... then you might need something much bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLA Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 if anyone has seen 10 minutes there is a part where a guy uses a mop on the side of a yellow train and he writes Nw1 just wondering what it was made out of it looked to be about a fist big.

asdf_va! Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I understand that you want a marker for this application... But seriously... thats a possibly messy ass marker to slug around. Just use a can, the old fashion way. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbamlbballer Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 omg omg omg omg, GOLA i know exactly wht ur talking about, cuz like months ago i was watching 10 minute and i saw this guy hittin the train with this huge juicy mop, and i was like dang i gotta get me one of those. I could never find one or manage to make one, but as soon as i read ur post i was like man this guy just say 10 minute and he wants to make one. I always thought about makin a huge nib by sewing this felt together and the marker would be like a frozen orange juice concentrate container. peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce_1nR Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 hmm, except them frozen OJ containters are made out of carboard...hmm.... Ink bombs anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdf_va! Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 OK... I now know what you are talking about and yes it is HUGE!! I am going to tease and try and find the product first before I tell you what it is. A friend of mine had one those. It's not a marker at all. That's your hint. Be back in 15 with or without photos.

asdf_va! Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Shit. Ok so the product was... I think... A car wax applicator that had the liquid wax in a bottle that doubled as a handle like on a gun. So where the barrel of the gun would be, there was instead a 3 and 1/2" diameter round sponge applicator. You squeeze the wax into the sponge and apply(not directly to forehead). It's out there, and I have seen it with my own eyes. In looking for this thing, I found THESE. Never used them before, but they are big... Might be worth taking a look at. Sorry to tease, but also really want to know what that thing was again. I will make some phone calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_I Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 ^asdf_va- what would be a good container for a mop with a smaller nib??? ill probably be picking up that mop from oinks site; but i was wondering if there was anything smaller...... the KR squeezies look dope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdf_va! Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 The one that you are going to get from Oink is the same diameter as those on the Krinks above. Just a slightly longer body. The nibs might be a little different in how they look, but I use the bottles shown above also, the diameter of both markers pushes the limits as to how small that type of nib/valve system can get. I can wait for my Oink shipment to arrive! But easy answers is they are about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projetmayhem Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hey, I just came into mad of these perfect sized mops: but the problem is they don't have a cap, if anyone can give me some advice on how to ghetto rig a cap that'd be appreciated use a pill bottle and put electrical tape or Teflon tape on the maker to make it snug. (what i did wit my OTR) ........ or go to staples or were ever you bought or stole it from and either steel an other or just that cap it should be easy to steel it. if your staples are like myn they dont have cameras.

Crashdummy Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Get some 1" PVC, and two endcaps. Glue one endcap to one end of the PVC, and drill a hole in the other endcap with a 3/4" bit for a nib. Put in a nib from an eraser. The endcap with the nib slips right on the PVC, just use some electrical tape for a good seal. Spray paint it flat black, and you've got one awesome mop.
