    shouldnt you avoid using super glue to hold nibs in bacause it'll soak into the nib and you wont have any flow going through it?

    not if it dries quick, it will just stay around the outside, you put the super glue on the rim of the container or what evers holding the nib so it just hold on the rim to keep it from leaking

    Another question about the glue stick mop thingy (well more about the paint). I tested em (two) out with water, and it had no leaks....but the water ran through the eraser nib....So I was wondering, since I'ma use thinned paint, how many parts paint to how many parts paint thinner should I use so that it wouldn't go through like that water?

    Stupid question, but thanks

    depends on the paint thickness that your usin and how thick your nib is but its usually about 2/3 paint 1 thinner. I'd mix it in a seperate container first to stir and make sure its liquidy enough. I've made a few mops with too much thinner or old paint that thinned too much its just trial and error. just make sure your nibs completely dry first

    slicing it with a x acto knife, take it out and boil it i guess...

    well i don't kno about the boiling thing i just think if the water is hot enough then it can fix or cure anything

    did you try unscrewing the top? some markers have the threads going the other way, so try turning it both ways
