yeahnation Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Alright so I was looking for a way to make a somewhat mop equivalent to the chapstick marker idea... something very small, very concealable, but still very effective. I took one of these things, emptied it, took out the little fine line applicator at the top, filled it with some (somewhat) homemade ink (pen ink + pilot + methylene blue), put in a chalkboard eraser as a nib, and bam, it turned out really nice. It's probably been done before, but hey, this thread needs all it can get as of late. http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/43/1/AAAAAqadBdoAAAAAAEMdmw.jpg ^That's what I started with ^The deck of cards is just there for judging size.

PINT Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I made a chapstick streaker that works fucking great. ill post pictures if you guys want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dBking Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 i would love to see the lil mini streaker. that is a nice lil tip whoever posted the CVS mop, and guy who posted the mop he made with the pilot pens and meth blue, nice work. try a visine bottle next. i make a joint out of some fabric, then i wrap it in a foot or so of thread and feed it into the bottle and that way i can write on concrete all i want, and when the nib gets fucked up, i just trim off the edges and get back to moving. it is mad concealable and the top of the visine bottle shapes the nib into a perfect bullet shape every time sorry for the typos. im so damn tired.

dBking Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 why not stay on topic? anybody have any conclusive info or analysis on whether the valve in the valve action markers forces air into the barrel and building pressure? or is it just a spring vlave that opens the flow of ink? i aimt to dissect a woodcraft next time i get into my evil closet of graff tools, but im so stoned, and im so lazy.... i mean i see it on the other side of the room, but im like meh... im trying to muster up the enetrgy to go paint right now...

troubador406 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If im using a rusto paint/thinner mixture in a shoe polish mop, should i take out the little valve system or would that ruin the nib ? it flows and drips but something is off about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siek187 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If im using a rusto paint/thinner mixture in a shoe polish mop, should i take out the little valve system or would that ruin the nib ? it flows and drips but something is off about it Ive always taken the flow reg. out makes the mop alot more drippier, but it also depends on how thin your mix is. If its not that thin id suggest the reg out if it is thin id say keep it in because shits gonna be so drippy your tag might just end up like a blob of paint dripping down the wall.

jarvis Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 i heard that you can make pilots kinda drippy by doing some shit to them...does anyone know how this is done? i suppose it has something to do with the cotton shit inside or the nib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dBking Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 it ha to do with over filloing them. sorry im kinda fducked up but hetre it the re3cipe to all my ability basically wehat you do is go to the art store and payour little 2.50 to buy an ounce of the pilot ink, and once you ave broken dowen yourn puilot jumbo nib and made it a really fat width, you can press on it and kinda pump it while you are writing and get alittle bi8t of dtrip out of it like you are pumping a sponge4 or something..... hope thismakes sense. holler at me if it doesnt through teh pm's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarvis Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 yeah i got the refills.. so what youre saying is fill it til it doesnt absorb into the cotton anymore? i kinda thought this was the case but it seems like that cotton just sucks it all in without end..thanks i will try this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dBking Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 YEAH I MEAN WELL THE RESERVOIR CAPACITY IS FINITE. BECAUSE THERE IS ALREADY SOMETHING IN IT (THE COTTON) SO IT OBVIOUSLY CANT TAKE MORE LIQUID VOUME THAN THE SPACE THAT THE COTTON AHD TH AIR IN THE CHAMBER OCCUBPIES. YOU GET FLOW BY PRESSING HARD IN A PUMPING MOTUION. IFYOU PRESS HARD ALL THE WAY THROUGH, YOUR LINES JUST LOOK LIKE GAHBAGE. fuck sorery aqbout the caps.........

jarvis Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 yeah yeah i was speaking figuratively about it being infinite.. i just meant its taking a massive amount of ink... but fasho it worked.. ahhah at first it all just splurted out.. but i emptied it a little and i did the pumping motion and i got some nice drips.. am i supposed to props you or something i don't really know this message board etiquette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazman Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 why not stay on topic? anybody have any conclusive info or analysis on whether the valve in the valve action markers forces air into the barrel and building pressure? or is it just a spring vlave that opens the flow of ink? i aimt to dissect a woodcraft next time i get into my evil closet of graff tools, but im so stoned, and im so lazy.... i mean i see it on the other side of the room, but im like meh... im trying to muster up the enetrgy to go paint right now... sorry for the long pause, but yea its just a valve, and very simple one at that. im not at home other wise i would take pics. but it is just a hole on top and a round disk that is bigger that the hole. and the spring holds the disk against the top hole making a seal when you press down the hole opens.well the disk moves out of the way. some times i will trim the disk to get better flow, knowing how the valve works i am amazed that 99% of ppl think rusto wont flow throw it, and almost 100% of them have never even tried it.
