    higgins is only slightly better than india ink.
    boil the ink to evap any form of water, and after that thin it down with a lil alcohol to a favorable consistency, you can mix it with some leather dye but nothing special like pilot or marsh, it'll weaken the marsh and pilot or whatever. add a little dot 3. and you're done.

    well its just an additive to make it more perm. and help it stain more. if you use higgins alone, i doubt it'll be as good as if you were to mix it with leather dye.

    the nib on that is really weak, go rack a kiwi or a bingo dabber. unless you're only using the mop as a one time thing, then go for it. but the nib sucks.

    SAID - you tried leather dye in your recipe dude?

    that shit seeps into ALL porous surfaces, i dont know about the sun but it cant be completely buffed without some proper industrial shit.

    leather dye+marsh and you shouldnt go wrong really.

    no, those alone are great for outsides. you can mix them though, just not illadel ink.

    hit or miss, but im guessing you mean mixxing black hair dye from the box and throwing it in a marker,i dont think its worth it, its to thick, but im shur there are plent of salon grade shit that would be a good add, maybe go to your local beauty supply place and poke around.
