    Best to use would be pen ink. It flows out very nicely in my zig postermen. Just look at the link that Kruxos posted and scroll down a bit.

    ink from pen tubes
    lame ass kiwi leather dye
    black fabric dye (reactive black 5)
    malachite green


    i don't know if the consistency is going to be good for a mop, but this shit is still showing hard thru 5 coats of white krylon (which really won't mean much on the streets when the buff crew really rolls thru, but i know it impresses toys)

    Only got DOT 4 brake fluid, what about that? Does it do the same thing? And how big bottle are we talking about that you would add 1/4 cap of break fluid? :D Thanks for help !

    And whats up with that reburnt paper? I just take a random colored paper, burn it and add it to my ink?
    Anybody added charcoal dust in your ink, does it work out good? And how can I get it, just get charcoal and crush it with a hammer?

    ashes/charchole are pretty much the same thing, they'll thicken up your mix and add color.

    just use cigarette's ashes

    yo, to make it a lil more powerful, boil it down to get the watter out, if u want to, boil it down completely so ur just left with the thick pigments and shit and then just add 91 percent or higher alcohol to it. or throw it out, and start over. 91 percent alc or higher, for every half cup use at elast 100 pens, the more the better.

    if its oil based, u can use mineral spirits (thinner), and very high percentage alcohol.

    if it is acrylic, use watter.

    toner is a powder, as biz stated before, and i was kinda figureing it out to, u gota add sum watter and alcohol to it and micro wave it untill all the moisture is gone, and u gotta do it a few times, and idk its not really worth it but if u have allot of it y not try it out. look back a few pages and biz posted the recipie for it.

    you really shouldn't use fabric dye (RIT powder) in your mixes

    it's all reactive and can cause clumps/might not stay in liquid form

    plus, depending on what's in your ink mix the dye might get really really hot and melt thru whatever it's in if it's plastic

    also, it's a hella bad eye irritant and also gives off nasty painful fumes

    Normal writting ink + natural oil(for cooking.. just some drops) + alcohol...
    Works wonders... and it is gloss ;)...
    And of course stains like a motherfister...

    btw: don˙t pour much natural oil into the mix because just some drops will mix the other
    stuff will just be on the top all the time..
