    ok so its like a pump marker nib. like a molotow... it might work if you thinned the shit out of the acrylic but it would probly be streaky. Pen ink would work if maybe youve got a decent recipe. Woodstain is one other option or a mix of stain and something else like pen ink or pvc primer or the like. its just gotta be really thin whatever it is

    frankly i dont see why it would matter.
    the only difference between 3 and 4 is the boiling point.
    they're made out of the same things.

    found some pretty tight mini mops at Staples today. there 98 cents a piece.
    The nib is kinda weak and would tear up real quick on rough surfaces but you could easily replace it with some thing else. they work damn good on smooth surfaces though. its a one inch nib with a pretty fat resevoir and work real well with thinned acrylics. also in the pic is a stamp pad refiller thought it was gunna have a better nib but i was wrong but it also could be made better. Only problem with the little mops is that they leak at the seams of the cap so taping it up is a must.

    well i had pictures but ill have to uplaod them tomorrow cause my scanner camera thing is not behaving. The called envelope moisteners though if someone want to find em, there next to the white out in staples. office max does not carry them.
    heres the 98 cent ones

    ^1 inch nib, palm sized over all



    and heres some that come in a pack of 4 for 10 bucks, you can probly find singles though..

    you can make gk out of any OIL based paints, the house paints you have are probably latex paints.

    I just made pen ink. But instead of pens i just used black ink and just add little bit of thinner. It flow well with marker, it is just very bad ink :S. Buffable instant. So do you have any idea what to add. Cheap and simple please :D.

    just a little brake fluid? or just a little worth it? what's the ratio? like a cap for every cup or something? is it true that it becomes easier to buff if you add too much?

    im guessing sanc you used like india ink or something similair? if so theres not alot you can do to save it seeing as its water based which is why it would buff so easy, you could boil it down to get rid of the water and then add something or you could just add another stainer like wood stain or a stainer powder. And if this is the case the thinner was not really needed


    pee - yes you should only add about a cap or 2 per cup, if you add to much your ink will never dry meaning itll wipe right off, the point of the dot3 is to make it take longer to dry thus giving it more time to stain/soak in. there being the point that too much is no bueno
