    Yeah, on a 1-10 scale, motor oil worked like a 2.

    There were no redeeming qualities.

    Id say anything thats liek oil based and thinner then the paint, I used krown undercoating from a spray can, even wd40 might work. I dunno just dont be dumb and use things like juice, common sense is all you need.

    you need solvents to thin oil based paint
    not lubricants.
    if you dont know the difference, dont post here.
    if you live in the sticks maybe graffiti isnt the hobby for you
    if you cant get paint thinner, there is a serious problem.
    L markers unscrew, you dont need to pull the nib out just unscrew the colored part.

    to thin paint you can use paint thinner, xylene, xylol, boiled linseed oil, mineral spirits, acetone, etc etc etc.
    but thanks guys, this will go down as another quality page in marker thread history.


    and next time, please use the search button. thank you.

    Jesus, I tried to make a deodorant mop, it was cool, until the nib like fell out and i got ink all over my hands. Fucking stuff is hard to get out of your nails. I guess I shoulve hot glued in the nib. And it was a sock, worked ok, but not stiff enough.

    serb here are some things that might help you
    A. search
    B. use the edit button
    C. post in the right thread
    D. we dont care about how much ink you spilled, thats not productive.


    and so you dont find the ink thread and wreck that one any extra, omega is 125ml bottles, just like otr bottles.
    its just ink, its cheap it aint no thang.



    if youre afraid of ink stains and paint stains on your clothes and your skin, this aint the hobby for you. maybe archery or soccer.
