satrdae Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 this might already been covered but I don't remember, can I add something to india ink to make it more permanent that will flow through a pilot jumbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneywriter Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 marker mix Here is a mix that works well on all surfaces, especially the plastic laminate that city rail uses to make the insides of train carraiges, here goes: Ingredients: Mecurochrome : That red stuff that your mum used to put on your knees when you fell over and grazed them. Its an antiseptic and can be found in chemists. Iodine: Similar as above although yellow in colour, dries purple. Antiseptic and can be obtained from chemists. Raven Oil: Can be bought in a variety of colours from shoe repair stores, including black and blue. Ink Pad Ink: Found in stationary stores, purple, blue, black or red in colour. Terebine or Ethanol: Terebine is a form of liquid driers, originally made by combining linseed oil and natural resin with salts of lead and manganese and thinning with turpentine used in the production of paint, harder to obtain than ethanol. Ethanol is pure alcohol and can be found in most hardware stores. Method: Mix the above ingredients in roughly the following ratios; Mecurochrome - 10%: This will give the mix a glossy, metallic finish and is a very strong stainer. Iodine - 10%: This will also add to the gloss of the mix and is also a very strong stainer. Raven Oil - 40%: Very watery although the strongest stainer of the mix. Ink Pad Ink - 35%: This will give colour to the mix and will also stain a bit. Terebine or Ethanol - 5% (vary according to the consistency of the mix, less for a thicker mix, more for a mix that will drip like hell): These are very watery chemicals that evaporate and allow the mix to dry, not absolutely necessarry but if you can get a hold of some i would throw it in. Colour: The iodine and mecurochrome will not affect the colour too much, choose the appropriately coloured ink pad ink and raven oil to suit the colour that you want. So there you have it.

How exactly would I get that out of the chemist? does he need a degree or can it be just any at-home-chemist? no, really, is there a substitute I can get in the US for this? or can it just go without? what is the active Ingredient in it?

sydneywriter Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 mercurochrome when i said that you could get mercurochrome at the chemist i didnt mean chemist as in a person who is involved in chemistry, i belive that the US equivalent to the term is 'drug store', the place where you buy medication and stuff like that.

sydneywriter Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 hydrofluoric acid personally i wouldnt go near hydrofluoric acid or anything that contained it, read the link http://www.safetyline.wa.gov.au/pagebin/in...njrsign0079.htm as far as glass damagers go, i recommend getting your hands on a spark plug and putting it in a vice or something to snap it and expose the sharp porcelain edge, then use it to scratch glass surfaces. its not toxic like that other shit either.

jusi Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 can some1 let me know what brake fluid does and how 2 use it in a mop? thanx. please dont jump on my ass 4 not readin through 13 pages of stuff.:confused: :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbish heap Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 HOW TO USE BRAKE FLUID: 1. open up brake fluid container. 2. pour brake fluid out of container and into mop. 3. presto! WHAT BRAKE FLUID DOES: 1. eats away at paint that is already on the wall. 2. leaves ghost lines. 3. discolors ink/paint a little, but makes it stronger/more staining.

Spemz_GS Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 i used some Simple green all purpose concentrated cleaner as a paint thinner. it works great but i dont know about how permanent it will be. do a search, and u will find it. i guess all heavy duty cleaners work...
