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.

[jusi]

alright, thanx rubbish

[Kyuzo]

Anything more powerful then brake fluid? It just seems kinda mild...

[Spemz_GS]

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...

try drinking some then you will find out how mild brake fluid really is

[drumr0987]

no one answers questions decently on here.... it's great. keep up with the sarcasm, i need a good laugh.

[drumr0987]

i know this is real toy sounding but when you open a unipaint to refill it, is there any other way to put the shit in there besides pushin down on the little valve thing?

[destroya]

take the fucking valve off.

[Kyuzo]

Heh, best way to learn is to explore

I had my first paint pen 3 minutes before i figured out how it worked

[dRaFteR_MR]

hrm sup ya'll.... this is my first post:loopy2: yeah so i decided to experiment with a bunch of shit i found under my sink... i mixed marsh with bug spray and brass polish.. haha dont ask me why i just decided to try something new.. it doesn't look all that bad i put it in a mop and took it out on an adventure... im trying to think of some new ideas to make ink with... anybody have any ideas?

[parcheesey]

just add everything u can find in ur kitchen, that should do the trick. ;)

[Dick Quickwood]

brass polish hmmm

put a few drops of it and put it on a metal painted surface, then let it dry. then try to wash it off and see what happens. keep me posted on the results.

[Hoysauce]

Hey, just a question about inks-
I've heard that methylene blue (supermarket ink, for price tags) is good, but all my boxboy friends give it to me in little sponge rolls, not like bottles or tins. Anyone know anyplace that has it? Also, can I just walk into a graff store (out here it's like workmens) and get krink, or is there online ordering? Thanks.

[Kyuzo]

when i couldn't find any fish oil i put in cocktail sauce, that stuff's hardcore

[shake em off]

ok u want a really big mop but dont feel like puttin effort into a marker...go to mejiers and look for this thing that ur supposed to wash ur car w/..you can find it in the car section...rack it...go to kroger and rack sum white or black griffin..pop the cap off the mop...pour ink in..and boo-ya..u got ur self one hell of a marker that writes about a 3in line and can b drippy if u perfer

[JUDONO?]

you can get krink at xylene.com

[parcheesey]

theyre always sold out tho

Yo
Give me something easy to Refill these Markers with

DECOCOLORS, they run out of ink easily, or the tip doesn't get wet enough with ink.
other than that they're quite permanent, got some tags running for years with those..


Someone tell me what to fill these markers with...


Here goes a free one, OIL PASTELS, very messy, but one of the Cheapest Easiest and most permanent Graffiti Materials, survibes any weather

enjoy, and please Answer. would be helpfull
peqce

[Kyuzo]

try cleaning one out all the way and filling it with marsh. Infact, i'll do it tonight and see what happens.

I filled my posterman with marsh and wow, that made for one decent marker. I got drips with it but i had to press the nib all the way down and go slowly.

[destroya]

just press a little and squeeze.

[Kyuzo]

Ahh, the added pressure of squeezing, never thought of that.

And I just cleaned out an old decocolor and put some marsh in it... meh. it's functioning but it's nothing special, and i have to juice it up too often. Other then that, I could cut off half the marker to make it shorter and then seal it off... and i could bore out the hole for the nib and put a custom one in. sounds better then the stock 3mm one or whatever it is

[flexT124]

did anyone ever tried KRink the one from the sprayer KR from NY i red the statement of him and it souded wiked but its his profit soooo????

[flexT124]

i just registered so i have some shit to say
soda caustic solution is a cool glass eater as well and it isnt as dangorousto your sikn than the other stuff:D
another good thing is to cover your dripy dick or u call it mop (i simply mean this shoe polish aplicator type shit) with some fabric so it isnt as sensetive to rough surfaces:)

that caustic soda shit will eat right through your skin yo watch yourself with that shit

[HASER ONES]

i took a fat ass woordcraft paint marker emptied it and filled it with griffin. that shit is the hottest marker i ahve ever made. still has its own flow system so i can drip if i wanna or chill with some clean tags.

[rubbish heap]

anyone ever experimented with vaseline?

[shorty wop]

fill a visine bottle with etch put the top back on. its hard to control the drips but when you get it, don't forget it.
just don't squirt it in your eye, i write poison and a skull and crossbones on my bottles.
also if you leave the visine logo on, cops won't be able to bust you with possesion of etch. if a cop stops you just tell him its visine, maybe he'll try it out and go blind and catch cancer and die.
anyways don't be stupid with it, if you don't trust yourself, scratch the label off and put warning signs on it. you don't want yer fam and friends to go blind and die.

where i'm from we got a serious buff problem, shit ride for less than a week, so etch is the only thing they don't buff, thats why i do it, call it stupid call it evil, come to new orleans, hang out with me on bourbon st. at the strip clubs, chill with the crack dealers, junkies, and prostitutes. some of us deal with some bugged out shit. fuck a window..............

I do not mean to be a bother by bringing back this fairly old thread but can someone exlpain how I would go about "flaring" the tip of a pilot? Thanks.

Chumbawumba.

[Telr]

if you want to modify a marker then just use up whats in it or dump it out, whatever you decide. then go out and buy some ink like marsh or something, preferrably one that streaks well. fill up the marker and give' er shit. the best way to figure it out is to experiment. but stay away from etch bath, that shit is gay. if you want your shit to stay up then keep up with the buff. etch is dangerous and a waste of time, some kids make etch with amonia which could kill them if they breath it in. its not worth getting injured when you can just not be a pussy and stay up.

[chumbawumba]

Thanks.. but how would I got about "flaring" the tip of the pilot? You say experiment but I don't even know what to try, and I don't have cash to replace it if I fuck it up.

Chumbawumba.

aight, here's the deal. personally, i like a brand new pilot with the nib super sharp, and flairing works great mainly for paint pens and pens where you can push the nib down to get more ink. but all you have to do to flare the tip is a) use it anywhere and everywhere for a few days until the thing naturally starts to wear and tear or B) scrape it across some cement or sandpaper.

[chumbawumba]

Oh.. thats what I had to do with my Pentel 100w to break it in.. I didn't know it was called flaring the tip, though. Thanks alot man you've been nothing but a big help since I came here. I appreciate it alot. This should be the end of my questions for a while, but if anything comes up I'll be sure to PM you, homie. Anyways you got aim or something? We'll bullshit for a little while. Thanks alot again.

[Exmo]

if you use magnum 44's

when it runs out of ink

get a drill and drill a small hole in the bottom of the marker. fill it with your favorite ink or mixture homeade ink

then silicon the little hole.

works perfect.

or use a pilot and save yourself the trouble...

seriously, ditch the magnum and get a pilot, you'll be happier.:crazy:

[solidus]

i jus tried 2 make a mop outa magnum 44...do i need 2 take the inside guts out 2 make it nice and juicy? or should i leave da insides in and jus put mu own tip on it?

[AMUK]

for a tiny mop that u can palm...
-if you got a pilot jumbo, unscrew it and take out that drip-stoppin' cotton
-next, take out the plastic shotgun shell-like tube
-now fill the tube 3 quarters wit your favorite ink and make a nib (sock or eraser)
-finally, look around the house for a suitable cap (i used the cap from a zig gluepen). don't worry if the cap is too big, u can wrap masking tape around the tube until the cap fits.

[albinomonkey]

ok i have a kiwi mop and i usually just put griffin ink in it, but what are yall talkin about take the pressure reliever thing out of it to make it drippy? cuz i dont see that and also how do u makeur own colors since
im gonna be putting griffin ink in there how do u make different colors and what do you all think if i put syrup in there and mix it with the griffin ink? make my tags more drippy and man the only that sucks with mops is that the foam part tears easily i hate it ,....................... fuck pilots and woodcrafts and all that shit all about the shoe polisher... u could easily order some tyte ass streakin markers from bombingscience.com

[rubbish heap]

take off the nib on the kiwi and look on the plastic part of it, there should be a little green thing, that's the pressure regulator. with your thumb, press down on the spongey part of the nib and pull off the green part.

personally though, i keep it on. when you take it off it makes the kiwi alot easier to leak in your pockets, and you can still get drips with the thing in there.

[Kryl0n]

he speaks the truth ^^
i suggest you leave the regulator in

[spottybot]

[monkeywrench]

No doubt about removing that shit...

I'd remove it for krink, cause its thicker...

But this Inferno mop I had was just a little too messy and outta hand when I removed it.

Prolly keep it in for ink, test what kinda drips i can get wit it.

[kinsel]

alrite so i tried making my own marker, i emptied out a chapstick container, waxed the bottom so it wouldnt leak, filled it up about 3/4ths of the way and then got an eraser for dry-erase blackboards cut out a piece for the nib, so i tried writing with it and the ink doesnt flow out too well at all and im trying to get really drippy tags but i dont really know what to do so if one of u guys did this before any help would b great. peace

[AevOne718]

Okay, I am going to help you kids out, because I'm just that type a guy.



Washable/Lavable
WINDOW
CHALK


its made by some company called CHUNKIE
It's white, and the cap is the color of the window paint.
Thats the shit for markers. Nice size line, durable nib. You push on it for drips, ease the pressure for a clean round line. The cap is screw on, so it's leak-safe. Perfect for etch, durable casing.

I've found it in K-Mart, Staples, and I'm sure most grocery stores have it, especially around Jul. 4th.

:king:

[kid_phame]

what up?..i jus racked a box of pilot markers from work...i keeo hearing good things about them because they are refilable..etc...but to me they arent anbything more then a refillable magnum or any other fat marker....so im wonderin ...any one have any tips to make it drip??im guessing adding a mor watery ink would help..but anything else?..i was thinking maybee slicing up the nib.............

[Zack Morris]

first off..the almighty pilot puts most other markers (especially magnums) to shame just in the fact that the ink is very permanent. Now if you are wanting to make one drip this is how I would go about the situation. take a small pen and stick it throught he center of the nib all the way into the ink reservior. take this pen and move it around a bit to make a small hole in the nib. Then I would over fill the pilot with more ink...but not too much or it will just end up making a big mess. with this small "drip tube" and an over abundence of ink you should be able to get some drips and ctrol them a bit depending on the amount of pressure you use when you do your handstyles.

<3,
Zack Morris

[hold up]

cool thread anyone kno wat stuff u need for a good stainer?

[HOVIE]

look in the ink super thread.....some ill mixes in there

[Swtchn'style]

In my opinion the best "staining" ink, is the NERO (250 ml)-black ink- This legendary ink is now available on Bombing Science. An Italian ink formula that is famous for being really staining and permanent. Refills about 5 markers. (works best with Pilot, OTR, and Magnum)

[earo 35]

this is like the biggest thread on the whole website (next to the battle thread in paperchase) it took so fucking long to read all of it. its amazing that there was no internet beef or people yapping their asses off:spin:

[HOVIE]

theres much bigger threads on 12oz

I wasn't aware that Magnums can be refilled...besides it comes with xylene, and that shit just made me not wanna mess with that marker anymore

[smut2]

nero/power stain and a bit of add in it works a beltter

[smut2]

nero/power stain and a bit of add in it works a beltter

[Swtchn'style]

I never use Magnums. My friend had one and it can be erased with a pencil eraser.(at least the magnum he had could.)

[chumbawumba]

Does this happen to anyone else - whenever I make kiwi mops and write with it I get a streaky line. You can see the brush marks in the line. How do I juice the nib up more? I have tried removing the pressure regulator and I got the same thing, I don't want to squeeze and make it drip I just want a solid line.

[WhisperLocc]

add something thicker that spreads...for example acrylic paint spreads when it drys right add something that does that

[macksimum]

anyone have experience with Zig Glue Markers...obviously i empty them and refill 'em but i was wondering if anyone has the problem where the sides of your handstyles are mad opaque but the center of each letter is not at all. it seems to be the same design as a normal Zig, but its smaller. and they just dont seem to work as well....maybe its just my mixtures?

[destroya]

that's exactly what i'm using now, and they're working fine. i have one with a flared nib and one without, both with a mixture of otr flowpen ink and nero d'inferno. did you by any chance get glue on the nib? somehow dent the nib? that can be done by flipping the nib over and pressing it down, then returning it to it's normal position, or trying to use the bottom of the nib to write with. if those aren't apparently the cause, what ink are you using?

on a similar note, is it me, or are the nibs made of a different material? it seems to me that the normal zigs are cloth-like, while the zig glue pens are more like plastic...

definitely didnt get any glue in the nib and i didnt bend it. right now im using a some blue rustoe paint thinned with mineral spirits, a little brake fluid and some other secret ingredients. ive used the mixture before and its worked in mops/other, bigger zigs...and the last time i had this problem was using krink...which shouldnt pose a problem seeing as how ive come pretty close to perfecting this recipe (it IS an easy one).
as for the nib, i do aggree with the point you made about them feeling different. they seem harder, more condensed then the normal zigs...

[macksimum]

one more question. does anyone know what company makes the face paint markers? they're my favorite and i cant seem to find them anymore. thanks.
nevermind. found it.

[ODS-1]

Open up a mop and take out the little green thing under the nib.

im deffinitly inexperienced with marker mods but... i took a bingo dabber and filled that shit up with indian ink, bleach, peroxide and dish soap... along with some bingo paint adn im gettin like 3 foot drips...

i have one question though what the fuck is a mop...
kiwi wass easy to figure out... ( i love those things)

[rubbish heap]

mops are basically items found in your house that can be used as a marker, like a deodorant / chapstick container, kiwi bottle, bingo dabber or window chalker.

[mersit]

somebody want to break down exactly how to make a real easy marker from just easy to find shit, like pretend your talking to an idiot......thanks

[emc02]

anyone have an info on how to fill pilot jumbo markers.. i got one of these bad boys today and im looking for paint and ink recipies that might go in them.. i was also thinking of cutting the tip in half ( the long way) to make it thin and the thick , i don't want to fuck up my new toy if it's not gonna do anything for it.. so if anyone has tried this let me know. i wann know how it works out.. ..

I can't believe I am really explaining how to make a mop out of a roll on container....common sense alone explains it.

Anyhow, get the type of roll on container that has the ring that holds the ball. pop off the ring and the ball will come off too...you can't just use any roll on container....25 years ago, when I started making them, roll on containers were all glass and the ball was held on with a plastic ring that fit at the top of the container....now everything is plastic so most of them do not have that detachable ring....except the Arrid xx, it is a blue container.
So, after you take the ring and the ball off...pour out the deodorant rinse the container and dry it well. Get a chalk board eraser and tear off a strip of the felt, most erasers have 6 strips. Take the strip and fold it in half and put it in where the ball used to be...put it in after you fill your container up with real ink, not griffin but Marsh or Garvey, etc.; fill it a little more than 2 thirds, that way your ink will not flood out when you are putting in your eraser. The wider eraser the better.
Below is the best eraser for making mops.
The first one is good for fat mops and the second one is good for regular size mops, it is also good for griffin containers, take off that bull shit foam rubber nib and fold an eraser strip in half and put it in where the nib goes.

[WH@T]

when I made this I was like OH SHIT!! IT WORKS!!! haha but yeah... this is most likely... old news but yeah, I made one of those deoderant markers... took sum werk but I did it...

uhh I got one of those gel deoderants... with all the lil holes at the top, not a stick... and I used an exacto to connect all the lil holes to make 1 big square... then I emptied and cleaned out the whole deoderant casing...

next I got a chalkboard erasser... (not expo) and I cut it to fit the top, and short anuff to put the lid of the deoderant back on...

so now, I just pull out the eraser to fill it up wit my homemade ink... superstaining... and just put it back in and there's my marker...

tested in bathroom @ skool... it makes like about 2.5-3 inch line... and when people saw me with it, noone knew it was a marker... they just thought it was deoderant!

I was jumpin for joy... but yeah, dont get caught with it... Old news I'm guessin... *sigh* oh well...

for my ink I emptied out a lotta liquid sharpies... (didnt buy em) and then uhh... i think it was methylene blue from the chem lab... and then uhh dot 3 brake fluid I think... (the staining 1) and uhh... OH my dad's mustache dye HAHAHA and uhh sum o the shoepolish stuff for shininess... anddddd... damn guys I just put hella shit in it...
OH WELL... class gonna start soon. latez all... I'll post pix when I can
latez all:lol: :lol: :lol:

[chumbawumba]

With all that shit you put in it, it probably doesn't stain too well at all.

[rubbish heap]

hmm.. the shoe polish and mustache dye no doubt watered the ink down, but the methylene and brake fluid was a good call :crazy:

[chumbawumba]

I like mixing inks and all, but it is really not worth it unless you know the outcome will be good. If you know that the mix is good, and it will not be total shit then go for it. If you dont know, it isnt worth the risk. Get some Marsh or Garvey, they are both better then any ink mix anyone can make and you know you can trust them.

[rubbish heap]

There's not a mix I could come up with that would outstain Garvey, but Marsh, atleast the dye, I could come up with a few.

[chumbawumba]

Of course there are a few superb mixes, but none that could really be any better then those two.

[rubbish heap]

nah what i'm saying is, marsh could be easily topped by a nice mix of other inks / additives. now garvey, that's a completely different story, garvey is some nice shit :crazy:

[chumbawumba]

Yeah I got you. From what I see from you, I trust you know what your talking about. Oh yeah and that guy from monster colors is selling that ink additive baggie from the site, you might wanna check that out.

[WH@T]

Man I didn't mean it in an offensive way. Just spin that shit in a sock for a while then go get up. Simple as pie.

You seem like a very happy go lucky guy with your constant usage of the smilie feature and words like whoopee and hooray. Haha.

[aseker]

i made THE best mop in the fucking world today...

youll need a small acrylic paint bottle (empty), some india ink, and a strip of chalkboard eraser. this is easy shit, rinse out the bottle of paint so its NIIIIICE and clear, and take the label off. fill it with the india ink, and then put the strip of eraser in the hole of the bottle however you want. juice the nib a tad. to get ink flowing just huld it so the nib faces the ground and give uit a squeeze. MAD results on those grey mail boxes, and shit like that. this marker is nice and sloppy, for drips just squeeze the bottle while you write. for a lid, just get whatever you can that will fit, i sued some shampoo bottle lid or some shit. but yeah, its a good mop.

oh yeah, and i tried to make one out of a chapstick... stick, and whenever i pour the wax in it hte just drips down the side and hardens before it reaches the bottom... what do you do?

yeah so anyways, make the mop, you can get all supplies from school

[chumbawumba]

Try pouring the wax directly down the middle and try not to get any on the sides so it goes straight down to the bottom.

[WH@T]

sorry chumbadoode... my misunderstanding...

ANYWAYS...

what would be considered the best nib for chapstick markers... my friends is nice, drippy also, but it's hard to refill...

he used a piece of a shirt, he cut it out and yeah...

oh well... I'm what you say... noobish? haha whatever okay cyaround all... :crazy:

[chumbawumba]

Its all good WH@T. Anyway use a chalkboard eraser. Look on the first page of the ink recipe thread.

[En1GmA]

when makin chapstix marker make a narrow funnel out of paper and stick it in. when u melt the wax it should drop down 2 the bottom...



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ay yo i opened up a pilot there is some spongy shit inside the barrel? should i remove this shit? or leave it in?

[En1GmA]

this is my blue stik marker but same sht as a chap stik one. I rolled a piece of dry erase and stuck it in. holds fine.

[img]http://pics.fotango.com/pictures/0400533630_001P.jpg'>

[earo 35]

And get a camera with a flash.
yeah... that would be a good idea, or next time, try and do it in the daytime in the sun.yeah so anyways, make the mop, you can get all supplies from school
i dont have india ink in my school (maybe cuz its so fucking poor) so where do you think i could get it?

[En1GmA]

i dont have india ink in my school (maybe cuz its so fucking poor) so where do you think i could get it?

I know a great place 2 buy dat shit

well im guessing just about any art store.... it doesnt have to be india ink, its just that its all i could get. im sure any other ink would work jsut as good

#2- dont make fun of india, i got a few good friends from there.

that wax method didn't work with my chapstick marker, I used this super glue type shit, it worked perfect. the chapstick marker is a very dope thing.

[chumbawumba]

Leave it in there, buddy.

I do have a camera with flash... it's an elph one digicam uhh... powershot sumthin i uno... but yeah... took that in the bathroom of a crowded movie theatre... so if I had it flash... (but I did anyways) it would look weird to everyone that flashes are comin from that one stall...

HA u know what tho, funny... I think my ink was still wet... and I waited to see what the next person would do when he saw it in the stall...

so he came out and I guess he didnt... but when he turned around.. there it is on his back :lol: HAHAHA i guess he mustve leaned on it HAHAHA oops... I ran outta there laughin... *sigh* oh well tho whatever... but yeah guys I gotta cam WITH flash.......

say cheese!:eek:

hows that stamp pad refill ink?? I've seen it but yeah... I think it's by sanford... ehh aite skool startin latez all...:D

stupidest idea ive heard all day.ay yo i opened up a pilot there is some spongy shit inside the barrel? should i remove this shit? or leave it in?
its in there cuz if it wasnt, the ink would running around freely, and if the pilot some how got open.... that wouldnt be a pretty site, the spongy shit absorbs it so it doesnt spill in case of an accident.

[chumbawumba]

I took the felt out of a pilot once, before I knew about mops because I wanted drips. That sucked. I went to school with black hands for weeks.

[En1GmA]

yea i was thinkin if i thook it out it would be more drippy but i dont that shit 2 burst n mak my dick invisible at night

[chumbawumba]

Thats an odd way to put it. Its a bitch to get out anyway even if it was for your benefit.

[chumbawumba]

Hey, I got an Old Spice Classic Stick deodorant and I emptied it out and cleaned it and it is drying on my countertop. I am going to use a glue gun to seal the bottom after it dries. I still have the feeling that I am going to fuck up on the nib and ruin the whole thing.. any last minute tips?

[En1GmA]

make shure nib isnt 2 small. cheq for leaks before u put actually ink in

[chumbawumba]

How could I check for leaks if there is no ink in it.

[micro]

water maybe? just dry it out afterwards

[chumbawumba]

Ehh, I'll just go for it. Gotta learn sometime.

[WH@T]

I dont know what my friend did... but today he showed me this crazy marker... a waterbottle marker... hella lotta ink in it... he connected sumthin to the top... and I saw a kiwi sponge thing on it... but the weirdest thing... he got a spraypaint lid on it!! to cover it... hella cool... I'm gonna try to make one...

cyaroun all...

ive seen the waterbottle markers, except with a gatorade bottle (gatorade bottles hold better than the normal waterbottles), then, it was full of pilot ink and it had a kiwi mop nib on it. i almost shit my pants when i saw that. it held so much ink.:D

[earo 35]

i found some shit on this site about making your own markers, its interesting shit.... have a look-see:
*1* Making Markers *1*

If you didnt read the FAQ on how to make a marker yet, you dont really
need to, cuz its real long and tedious. Just do this and still work the
same way but wont take you three weeks to complete you project.

Step 1.
Get a stick of deoderant, i like the blue arrid xtra dry container, be
sure to get the longer size, and rightguard works good too its just
bulkier to carry. Whichever you get be sure to grab the lid off of off
another stick of the same brand. You will also need a felt chalkboard
eraser from school or a teacher's supply store ( get the all felt kind
and not one with the wood backing, this will serve as your tip and
resovoir, and wont shove in like the sock method. So in all you have 2
lids, 1 container, and one chalkboard eraser.

Step 2.
Use the deoderant excessively or dump all of its contents out and then
take a screwdriver or something and pry of the little twisty thing at
the bottom, and rip out the plastic toothpick thing inside if it didnt
fall out already.

Step 3.
Take the eraser and cram it in the container, look through the bottom
hole of it and leave about 1 cm. of clearance, this is so filling it
will be easier. Now try to put the lid on, and see how much of the
eraser you need to chop off to get the lid on where it fits normaly. On
the eraser there are about six or seven seperate pieces of felt sown
together, you may need to hack on of these of so it will fit in your
container, but it should still fit snugly.

Step 4.
Now that youve got the eraser the size you need it put it back in still
leaving the clearence at the bottom. If you have it take a hot glue gun
and seal off all the cracks and all around the eraser, it doesnt take
but a thin seal. Epoxy or wood glue will work if you cant use hot glue.

Step 5.
Fill your new weapon with your ink of choice, through the hole at the
bottom, slowly so it will all bleed down to the tip, this takes a while
so be patient. Now take one of your lids and slide it over the bottom of
the container. Take the other and cap it off, done.

......thats some interesting shit

[earo 35]

has anyone ever used one of these markers???
http://www.cnchangjiang.com/index-p1.htm
i noticed one of them is like a bobo pilot.

yo earo 35...u wanna squash our beef? its really stupid shit that we fightin over and it was like a month ago...oh well...its up to you man no point in beefin over stupid shit though...peace

[chumbawumba]

Never used those marker..

Anyway I accomplished making my first chalk eraser mop! I made it out of a round stick deodorant and it is so fucking nice. Now I know why omen two liked em so much. It was messy as a bitch and got on my brand new shirt and pants, but it makes me happy. Anyone know how to get garvey off a shirt? Is it possible? There is one minor problem with the mop, I used 2 strips to fit snugly in the top, but whenever I use it the nib like shifts and I have to put on gloves and move it in to place. I really want to get one of these arrid xx things but I can't get them around here anywhere. Also when I put the cap on it drips down the sides, this is a messy bitch but it taught me how to do eraser nibs, and I will look forward to getting an arid xx bottle. Thanks omen.

Thanks Micro, I am quite satisfied with it myself. Its pretty good for my first crack at it.

[WH@T]

good job chumba!! man how big is tha mark?


~in unrelated matters... (completely irrelevant...) stupid wind made the spraypaint blow onto my hands... only the right hand was covered... aww shit... parents caught me blue-handed... haha oh well tho... I had art class today, so there was my excuse :p

yeah blah... hmm... I saw this thing at the store (target) today... it is a food sprayer... you take off the lid and unscrew the top... put in whatever... and put the lid back on and pump it... so it manually pressurizes the can... then take off the lid and you can spray whatever contents u put in the can...... you think... maybe... it has potential? put sum powerstainin ink in there and use it like a refillable/reusable aerosol can... though it's not gas, but pumped air...

ehh... I hella wanted to get it but it was 10$..... worth rackin? haha or should I just buy it... LOL i dunno... whachu guys think? has anyone else seen this product? it's in the kitchen stuff aisle... and yeah, whatever... I'm out,

latez...:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[WH@T]

here's the kitchen can thing I was talking about in my previous reply... what'cha guys think?

refillable/reusable sprayer... (http://www.colehardware.com/hotline/98/06/misto.htm)

it's weird huh... should I try it? OH and it's a female nozzle... those are east to get anywhere... the sprayer I saw was only 10$... but you can easily sneak it out... BLAH... what's up...

what you are describing sounds like an olive oil defuser. you put olive oil in it and spray. i have one in my kitchen and get good use out of it but not graff suitable. you have to pump it before every use and as far as the compressed air propelent goes, it wont hold too many pumps so it only sprays in short low pressure bursts(you would have to stop half way through a tag to pump the pressure back up :stretch: ) and it would be hard to form an even and consistant line due to the spray pattern. its just not a practical idea but its nice to see kids working on experimental thoughts.

:stretch: it would be like pumping up a car tire with one of those old school bicycle tire pumps.

[WH@T]

HA!! I see! Thanks heh... that is a comic image... pumping a car tire with a bike bump... heh that's just ridiculous... well thanks anyways :eek:

hmm... what else is there to try...

[earo 35]

so how did it work out for you when you took it to the street?

you should post results.

[Ravek]

any one lookin to make a chapstic marker, its seems to small to put ink and a nib in it, so this is what i did, i took crayons all the same colors, and a couple pastels same colors as the crayons and melted them in a pot, then put em in the chapstic container, cooled it off, It made kind of a less potent meanstreak, it worked good for me on smooth cement woood and plastic,

[chumbawumba]

I tried to make a chapstick mop, It was a bitch to seal the bottom since its so small so I tried to wrap some tape around it instead but the fucker dripped all over my pants. I didn't have a problem with the nib, though. What you made sounds pretty interesting. Try a buff test on it and see how permanent it is.

[rubbish heap]

I've thought of that before, although crayon's probably wouldn't be that great since they're wax based. Pastels and oil bars would be good though; and you could try melting a little off a streak into the chapstick and see how it is.

A chapstick mop is about discreet as it gets... even smaller than those mini OTR's.

[micro]

i just made 2 chapstick mops yesterday along with 4 deodorant and 1 bic pen mop.i didnt have any problems with any of them although i have no ink:mad: i just dripped the wax from a candle into the bottom and scraped it off the sides...i put water in it to test if its leak proof and no water came out at all

[chumbawumba]

That snow's really keeping you busy, huh micro?

[micro]

yea lol...i thinks its gonna melt soon so i can get out:) until then im gonna keep tryin to find shit to make mops with:p

looks to me like one of them face paint markers or some such shit. you know, maybe one of those washable car markers (obviously its been refilled). or maybe just a cutty home made.

[EYESORES]

can you run one shot through a woodcraft marker? or is the nib to thick?

[Ravek]

i tryed the chaptic streak i made on those cement parking bumps at my six eleven (to cheap to call it 711) and it lasted threw the snow and a week, but i suspect that it will be hard to scrub off cement by hand but will easily be sand blasted off, it worked good on rusty metal and ruff metal.

the whole deal with krink is that its supposed to be blindingly silver.....or at least thats what I was told.

in other news, i just cooked up some nice purple for one of my broad-tip uni's. the problem is now the nib. its an old one that has had paint-ink of a different consistancy and color running through it which now is keeping my ink from flowing proper. anyone know of a way to get uni replacement nibs or another nib compatible with the broad uni's?
any help given will not be forgotten.

[chumbawumba]

Take the nib off another uni.

the only times i've found the uni px-30, its always behind the counter and from what i understand replacement nibs cannot be ordered seperately.

U KNOW WHAT IS SO COOL!!!

my friend dipped his head in black paint and he tagged the wall with his fro!!! WHOA!!!


I'm just kidding... hella bored over here...

is it just me or is magnum ink corrosive? I removed the nib and left it in a plastic cup overnight... in the morning the cup had a hole in it and it was sticky and black...

Magnums the fat markers...:)

[chumbawumba]

Mangums... yuck.

[ODS-1]

What's a sure way to seal the bottom to the chapstick mops?

Anyway, I made a kiwi with an eraser nib, and once I tried to put the nib in like an upside down U, and it ended up getting pushed into the mop and I couldn't get it out.
The second time I put it in like a U, and The same thing started to happen. Should I just glue the nib in and then pry it off when I want to refill it? I even put a second strip of eraser inside the U shape, and same thing, except this time it was too thick and the krink wouldn't flow well. I need to know my mop is going to be there for me. Help me.

[chumbawumba]

Kiwi bottles suck for eraser nibs, but I don't know why it is falling into it even when you added an additional strip. Are you putting it in horizontally or vertically? Also, if you are going to be using a kiwi bottle why not use the nib that comes with it :confused:

[ODS-1]

I don'tknow, I wanted to try something new.
So do the eraser nibs work better for those griffin mops?

[chumbawumba]

I have never tried to put an eraser nib in a griffin bottle or a kiwi bottle. I like to stick to what I know works so I won't be wasting my time. Old Spice Classic Stick Deodorant works, as does Arrid XX Roll On Deodorant. I no doubt about it prefer Arrid XX over Old Spice because you can't squeeze Old Spice but you still get some drips. Griffin bottles might work, they are easily squeezable, but the cap would definitley not fit over the nib, its way too small. As for sealing the chapstick mop, use anything that is a glue or bond of some sort, just give it the time it needs to dry and don't rush it. Your best bet is to go to the pharmacy and get some Arrid XX Roll On Deodorant.

[En1GmA]

What's a sure way to seal the bottom to the chapstick mops?

SILICONE which can be found in autozone and other fine stores. but some formulas hours to dry. So look for a fast drying mixture. just make sure u dont twist the bottom of the chapstik :dazed:

What's a sure way to seal the bottom to the chapstick mops?

Anyway, I made a kiwi with an eraser nib, and once I tried to put the nib in like an upside down U, and it ended up getting pushed into the mop and I couldn't get it out.
The second time I put it in like a U, and The same thing started to happen. Should I just glue the nib in and then pry it off when I want to refill it? I even put a second strip of eraser inside the U shape, and same thing, except this time it was too thick and the krink wouldn't flow well. I need to know my mop is going to be there for me. Help me.

1.) Chapstick Marker:
-you can use pretty much anything that will solidify to seal off the bottom of the chapstick. The easiest is candle wax, but it cracks / comes loose from the bottom of the container very easily. You can use plain white-glue too, that seems to work for me. In any case, put a strip of electrical or duct tape around the little rotating bit on the bottom of the chapstick to stop it from turning. More often that not, that's what causes them to leak - that little bit will get rubbed and turn, causing the wax or glue on the inside to break away from the base, and leak all over your pocket.

2.) Eraser Nibs:
- Same thing happened to me a few times. I ended up racking a few tubes of super-glue / crazy-glue, and it seemed to solve my problems. Just put a bit of glue around the inside of the opening to the mop, then fold the strip of eraser as usual and stick it in.. give it some time to dry though before you use it. Only problem is, once you do this, good luck refilling that mop ever again. I use bingo-dabbers and cheap shit like that to make my mops, so it's no problem to toss em out and go get more. If you're using a mop that you want to reuse later, condiser finding some other material for the nib.

do i need to wait until my pilot runs out to add shit like griffin into it?

[far...]

my otr flowpen doesn't drip, anybody know why? I suppose it takes a while for the nib to get all juicy but i already went through all of the original ink and still no drips. Everyone i talked to doesnt know why either...so my last resort, 12oz, help!

if i'm not gonna get drips, i'll just get me a kiwi mop, is it really as simple as just replacing the shoe polish with any ink? the nib looks like it will tear if used on anything thats not perfectly smooth tho, so do i just put a chalkboard eraser in?

i dont see why, just add it in...the inks should mix and keep refilling it now and then, eventually there will be no pilot ink left!

You have to use the pump system.. you can't write on the surface gently and expect drips. You have to squeeze it really hard and press down on the nib.. swinging it in a sock to juice the nib up works, too. A combination of both would be killer.

[GAZT]

uh.....one question.....
how do you flare tips? Specifically, I'd like to give my pilot and magnum some flarage. And I mean flared to the max, but without completely destroying the marker. Thanks.

[ODS-1]

Will someone explain to me what flaring a nib does? Yeah I would like to know how to do it too but once after I've learned what it does for the marker.

the best flares come from heavy usage. go write on something.

and flaring a tip gives it a wider, yet generally less-crisp look.

Would it help if I made small slices with an exacto or something on the end to give the tip a more loose motion?

i have some etch questions, but i dont want to post them for everyone to see.. anyone with a decent amount of knowledge please reply and i will private message you.... Please save me the lecture on it, i know the risks and all that

[ODS-1]

Can you flare the nibs to a pentel shortie? That nib is fucking thin.

[CrazyLazy]

You can do that, but be careful. If you cut too deep on some markers, ink just spills out of it. Just flare it out with your finger(nail) before you use it for the first time (so that you don't get ink all over your fingers).

[chumbawumba]

Fingernail? Xacto knives? Just use a fucking pin and poke the shit out of it. I am pretty much done with this thread, I can't stand the retards.

Amen.

Fuck you man. Fuck you. I'm sick of people pissing and moaning about stupid shit like this. No one asked you specifically to answer any of these questions in the first place so don't act like you have a responsibility to, you self endowed bastard. Good thing you're done with this thread, you don't have to fill it with even more posts about how you hate it when people ask the same questions over and over again. Its a pretty equal number of repeated questions and people bithcing about repeated questions. Once again, no one asked you specifically to answer these. And I am not a retard, you self righteous bastard.

[chumbawumba]

People wouldn't "piss and moan" if people like you weren't too lazy to flip back a few pages and see if your question has already been answered.

[rubbish heap]

chumbas one of the most helpful people on here. its just annoying seeing the same questions over and over. we need a FAQ.

[chumbawumba]

Hey thanks buddy :crazy:

Just because I'm asking for an alternative to nib poking doesn't make me a retard. You can't depend on people to always do everything the right way. You know yourself that no one wants to sift through 18 pages of garbage to get one question answered. I guess you pretty much ignored the rest of my post, don't act like its your responsibility to asnwer these questions. And besides, I must have poked that fucker 5,000 times, and theres barely any noticable difference. I am lazy. Fucking deal with it.

[HOVIE]

today i decided to make a mop out of this deoderant thing ive had for a while..its not finished yet, i havent put the ink in and im gonna glue the nib to the inside of the mop just to make sure it doesnt fall out when i take the lid off again...anyway, any help on how i can improve it would be appreciated...or even telling me where i went wrong..

1.) Heres the deoderant thing i started with HERE (http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4da32b3127ccebcf1e50c054c0000001610)

2.) I took an empty bean can and a candle HERE (http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4da32b3127ccebcf1fcb8456c0000001610)

3.) Heated it up until it was all melted HERE (http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4da32b3127ccebcf1f72d05640000001610)

4.) I put the deoderant container in the can (so the wax would dry around the bottom) HERE (http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4da32b3127ccebcf110a7c4350000001610)

5.) Then i realised there was a hole at the bottom so i superglued a bit of tissue over the hole HERE (http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4da32b3127ccebcf1342045900000001610)

6.) Then i put a little bit of wax over the hole from the inside (just to be safe) HERE (http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4da32b3127ccebcf13b2684390000001610)

7.) Then gave it a taping around the bottom HERE (http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4da32b3127ccebcf1562345a20000001610)

8.) Cut up bits of sock for the inside and to cover the nib HERE (http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4da32b3127ccebcf16db9848d0000001610)

9.) Folded a strip of board wiper in half for the nib HERE (http://http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4da32b3127ccebcf17add454a0000001610)

10.) wrapped the square peice of sock around the nib HERE (http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4da32b3127ccebcf1773b05320000001610)

11.) Jammed the filler sock inside (not too tight) and put the nib in HERE (http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4da32b3127ccebcf2874565e00000001610)

12.) The final product alongside my black corio mix HERE (http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4da32b3127ccebcf2a68d25a00000001610)

[ODS-1]

I turned my Pentel Shotie into the a pretty tight marker.
I had an old white uni paint, which was empty, so I took the nib out with a pair of latex gloves.
I took the nib out of the pentel (That thing was like tagging with a white out pen!!!), then I put the uni paint white nib and shoved it in there nice and tight. It works like a dream. It's not the paint in the shorties that's shitty it's that the nib is so thin it doesn't do the paint justice.

Man, I'm not going to have some internet fight with you so I'm just going to shutup. I also have no idea what kind of mutant nib you have if you see no difference after your supposed 5,000 pin pokes.

I'm sorry. This is stupid. Lets just put this behind us.

seriously though, I sat for like 45 minutes poking that thing in my second period art class. Oh well.

[GAZT]

Nevermind. It took about ten more minutes of poking. Theres definitely a difference. Thanks.

[chumbawumba]

Ok, cool. Just out of curiousity, what marker are you working with?

no one likes my mop...im proud of that shit:o

I just wrote something about it in the ink thread right before I read this, peep it homie.

Uh a pilot. All I need now is some ink to refill it with.

Hi i have a OTR. Flowpen and a OTR. hard 2 buff ink marker. They look identical and work identical. I want to convert one of them into a paint marker..which one should i convert. all i have to do is empty it, clean it with thinner, fill it up n put sum balls in correct?

I don't think it will work with any of those markers. In order to get paint into a marker, it has to be really thin, like water almost. Thinning it out this much will ruin your paint mos def. I guess you could use marsh, that might work.

[chumbawumba]

Yes Marsh would work (reffering to the Paint Type Ink).

yea just put a couple small marbles or ball berings in there and either one should double as a paint marker. more than likely your gonna need a fresh nib too.

fool im diggin that mop. me and my homie just made one the other day, with out looking at your instuctions and they were super messy. mine worked pretty well, but i couldnt fit a lid on top of it so it was a one time use thing. i used a chalkboard eraser nib, and i used the wax in the bottom also, but i didnt soak up the wax in a can like you. i need to try that next time. but i still got a FAT ass line, and real nice drips so im happy with it

[En1GmA]

IGhT i took out the shit ass paint in the mini OTR. Marker and put in sum red car paint wit a little bit of laquer thiner for drips but not 2 much that it is transparent and it came out really nice. You can obtain about 1 1/2 oz. of car paint in ur nearest car paint shop for 1.50(showed below, the conatainer with black lid). and just thin it out It can fill i would say about 5 mini markers thinned out. The flicks on the bottom is of the marker writing(red).

[rinse]

keep on looking for that right consistancy. it doesnt look like that batch covers thick or even enough but your probably not far from something good...keep on tweakin' it.

[En1GmA]

agreed ill try to add bit more pure red paint but we'll see how the drips turn out..;)

[HOVIE]

fuck paint...why not just use good ink and will naturally drip...

[chumbawumba]

Agreed ^.

[En1GmA]

well yea but with paint there is a lot more color variations and choices then with ink.:idea:

[WRECKONIZE]

do the bottoms pop off miniwides? how the fuck do you refill these?

[chumbawumba]

No, pop the nib off.

EDIT:
I just made a mop out of this roll on container called Hi & Dri. Its a cheap brand you can find at 99 cents stores. The ball is easy as shit to get off, just force a knife between the ball and the container and apply some pressure and it pops right off. The nib is a great size, and the nib will never drop inside because there is a thing inside to hold the roll on ball from falling in. Its the same if not bigger in size then the Arrid XX container. I will get flicks later because the container got ink on it while I was filling it, but this is one sick mop. Its a nice size container so its easy to fit in your pocket, and easily rackable. Its also only a dollar if you are going to pay for it. If anyone is interested in trading something for a bottle to try it out you can get me on AIM or PM. I have a billion of them with nibs already on them and already emptied out so if you are willing to trade, I got the hookup for ya.

[ODS-1]

Sounds like it would be good with some marsh.

[chumbawumba]

Alright guys, here the ultra mop -

Goddamn, this thing is the sweetest fucking mop ever. Anyone down for a few? I have tons of emptied ones with nibs on them already, just need to be filled with ink..

It's good with anything, its just awesome.

[ODS-1]

Are they good with krink? Email me, I may be down.
odsoner@yahoo.com

[chumbawumba]

I'm not sure. Is krink an ink or a paint? If its ink I'm sure it would work.

[rinse]

krink is paint.

[rinse]

by the way chumba, thats a nice lookin' mop. good job.
post a flick of the quality of tag you can bust with it.
just wondering about line width and drip factor.

EDIT: the cap doesnt screw on, does it?

[chumbawumba]

Thanks man, its appreciated. I'll have the flick as soon as I can. The size is about one inch, bigger then Arrid XX. You can make it as drippy as you want, depending on how flooded you keep the nib. I like mine moderatley flooded, not so nasty and drippy that you can't read it so if the drips aren't your style don't let it put you down. As for the cap, yes its a screw on.
