    ya thinner is ONLY for thinning OIL based paints. not ink. alcohol is ONLY for ink and anything else alcohol based. Water is only for thinnign acrylic paints, but will also mix with alcohol, but it makes the quality of the ink a lot less.

    allot of butamin based inks are coming onto the market, witch the buff probably arnt prepared for, there for there gona have a job to buff butamin based tags?

    I was thinking, if i was to extract whatever is in a coverall can (im guessing it's just butamin)

    would this make a good additive, and how much should i add?

    usign acetone isnt bad, i used i for my first ink, cuz i had nothing else, it works, jsut not as well. but u can use pvc primer(which is acetone) as your base if u want, because it also has that purple stain

    ya pvc primer is a great additive, u can even use half that half pen ink. try writing sometihng with pvc primer straight, then try to buff it with anything, it doesnt coem off

    i wouldnt replace the alcohol with pure pvc primer the stuff does stain but straight it doesnt dry fully on all surfaces so it would be better in a solution of about 70% pvc to 30% high concentrate alcohol like 99.7% as the alcohol would speed up the drying

    wouldn't it be better to use pvc primer with acetone instead of alcohol?

    by the way pvc primer is very hard to pour out of the container it comes in.:)

    true you could do that but acetone eats through plastic slowly so thinking about it wouldnt the pvc primer too any way easiest it just to stick with ethanol or rubbing alcohol

    incorrect.

    actone is just a thinner, hardly any eating power.
    xylene is what you need, illegal in my country.

    acetone/xylene for ink thinning
    paint thinner/turpentine for oil/enamel based paint thinning
    water for acryllic thinning
