if you want thiker ink it depends on what its made of my boy made me some ink and to make it thiker he poured it out in a tray to evaporate some of the liquids in it but like i said it depends on what type of ink i dont think it will work with ahlcohol based inks .just test a little bit first so u dont waste all ur ink B)
if you have a fair bit of alchohol based ink that you want to make thicker, pour some into a pastic container and let it dry out completely. crush it up and turn it into a powder and add it back in. it makes it more opaque and thicker.
no silver paint wont work.... or any paint for that manner.... cuz it will seperate the thinner and the paint. unless u like use it every 4-5 hrs lol.... and the powdery silver stuff will clog the nib and when u try to write itll write transparent cuz the paint thinnner goes to the top of the nib. to arrange thise... change the nib for chalkboard eraser felt... does the same buts since its less dense a bit of pressing to rid the xtra thinner b4 a first tag of the day and itll work again.
hey guys, how could i make my own paint marker....would a highlighter work....with just fillin it with my own paint...?
stop bringing up old threads, especially if you're not going to answer the question properly. the problem with ink that's too thin has nothing to do with it mixing, especially if it's ink since the ingredients in ink don't tend to seperate... that's paint that has ingredients seperate. ink that's too thing might be leaky or drip too much, or be less permanent than a thicker ink. to thin ink you can evaporate the solvent.. which is usually alcohol. use heat but don't overheat, be safe so you don't hit the flash point (where it catches fire). you could also add pigments to not only thicken the ink, but also to add more, stronger opaque color to the ink. but with the addition of pigment you may need to add a marble or something to shake it up, as the pigment COULD seperate. if you have no access to pigment, than you can use cigarette ashes to thicken it, but you also need to add a marble to keep it mixed up.
to answer your original question on how to thicken the shit i heard adding cigarette ash will do the trick never tried it personally though tell me how/if it works
