Word to the wise don't get the floro elmer paintys from walmart terrible. They don't have mixing balls in them and are just gay soo I was thinking bout dumpin em out throwing sum of the ol pen ink in em n seeing how that works out

[Cro.]

the elmers painters from walmart do have mixing balls man

[szr]

i have some of the flourescents and im pretty sure they do but i could be wrong. idr bc i havent used it in ages they fucking suck, thinnest most transparent shit ever. only good for paper and they suck on paper too. the krlon flourescents are a lil bit better but still arent that great, but have a nice marker body i used it to put shoe polish in.

[Cro.]

yeah i'd only use the regular kind

[tha whut]

it takes a year or 2 depending on the spot and how much sunlight it gets

but it does fade

(pilot ink)

[Cro.]

t's really dope shit to write with, and great to mix though.

[tha whut]

werd nothings better than a brand new pilot marker

and the pilot & garvey mix

[Cro.]

i took the nib off of a shoe polisher thing kiwi makes and glued it onto the top of a chalk marker, but i cant even get water to flow in it so i don't think it will work with any inks :l

Why get rid of the shoe polish bottle? That's a serious classic mop you had there man. You can even bust tags with the shoe polish if you got the right kind. Use that all up, then you have a classic mop that will go miles and miles. Fill it with any ink or paint. Cut a piece of old cloth and put it over the nib and secure it with a rubber band for greater durability.

And why did you glue the nib to the marker? Had you even put ink in it first? Seems a little backwards to me. Also, using glue to secure any nib/mop combo is just an invitation for leaking...

If I can get a sample then I'm doing it for sure because otherwise I have to drive 2 hours to get one/buy some from art primo...

And has anyone noticed that the Sakura Pen-Touch inks are practically buff-proof? Honestly, I can't write over it with my pilot because it just burns right through immediately. If you try enough, it still wont buff but it actually picks up the sakura ink and makes like a black/gold ink. Looks tight. I wish I could mix what's left in my sakuras with my pilot ink, but the sakuras are xylene-free so I don't think they'll mix too well.

Haven't tried painting over it though...

Yo it's because Sakura Pen-Touch inks are actually a xylene based pigment ink, which makes them act more like a paint. And when you're trying to write over a xylene-based pigment ink with an alcohol-based ink like Pilot ink, the pigmented ink will almost always burn through. For example, ever tried writing over a Decocolor with ink? Same reaction.

That being said, by no means are Sakura Pen-Touch inks "buff-proof." Wipe it down with a xylene-based cleaner once, and paint over it once, I guarantee it'll be buffed.

Also, you could definitely mix them. BUT- you would most certainly need a mixing ball. They would separate in your marker/mop quicker than oil and water if you catch my drift.

Cut a piece of cloth or old t-shirt and secure it over the nib with a rubber band. Nibs last 100x longer. Works like a charm.

I never thought of that^ thats really smart. What shoe Polish do y'all prefer for stain power?

[ReackOne]

Im pretty sure that you could tag with these:



oh and I also had some white shoe polish for sneakers, its awesome.
It was very opaque and didnt fade. It came in little shoe polish bottle.

[ReackOne]

Thats the shit:

[yeahnation]

The white stuff works well too.

[ReackOne]

you can get free sakura streaker if you email them asking for a sample I think

[szr]

does anyone else have trouble getting junobo to flow? i can get it through my window chalk one somewhat but its still streaky...and i tried it on an OTR soultip with mohair nib...which it doesnt flow through at all....i removed the regulator on both mops. idk what else to do bc i would prefer to not thin it down but i will if i have to.

[Cro.]

didnt we already go through this a while back?
junobo blows

[szr]

idk lol
is it better too thin it down?...........whats ur best picks for mop paint brands?

[Cro.]

get some rusto bucket and thin it man
jesus why buy the fancy shit when you can get a lot more paint with the same quality for way less?

[szr]

its the first "graff brand" thing i ever bought i was very let down....plus i dont really do mops too often

[Cro.]

its better and cheaper to get your own paint for mops.
inks is kind of another story.

[szr]

What's ur favorite ink to buy all I've used kiwi black and oink violent violet....the oink drips out too much for me u accidentally squeeze ur mop to hard and u have a fucking blob and ur tag is illegible but I put it in a free flow in marker and the shit comes out nice

[tha whut]

umm my favorite ink is purple garvey

my favorite paint is silver gk or witches brew

i still need to get my hands on sum marsh
