    My boy once told me he used nail polish in a mop. Has anyone else tried this? It comes in some crazy colors and I would only imagine that the usual buff agents used wouldn't quite work on it.

    ^lol...
    nail polish is acetone based. so if its buffed with acetone it will get raped. and plus its way too think for a mop, and once you thin it out its not very opaque at all.

    My bad... I never tried it, so I wouldn't know, but it was worth asking.

    Actually nailpolish seems like a pretty good idea LOL
    I mean @blacklisted if you get any alcohol ink like pen ink for example, it's not easily buffed with alcohol.

    well, nail polish is a lacquer, it contains film forming agents, resins and plasticizers, solvents, and coloring agents. It also has great adhesive properties and ultraviolet stabilizers (benozophenone-1).

    list of ingredients:

    imo, you could use nail polish, just experiment

    yea ive messed with nail polish before, idk its kinda wierd, but i guess you could mix it half half with some thin ink and it might help with fade resistance

    im doing the pen ink in iso again tonight, got the recipe on the first page awhile ago so dope bro the colour is intense and strong, i got a couple questions i really dont wanna look through the whole thread.

    1. whats a good substitute for dot3?
    2. Can you use red pens? ( dont see why you couldnt but i havent seen it on here before so .. )
    3. If you can use say 75 red 25 black or vice versa would the colours be consistent or would it just look better solid black or solid red.

    ive seen zombie ink before and the red/black tint is sick shit id order some but im broke and i usually make my own shit

    oh and one more thing i live right beside a dollar store and they got cheap ass pens like dirt cheap no name/never heard of shit would i be better off spending a couple bucks extra for better pens.. is there any difference of the inks inside?... im guessing cheaper ones would be slightly worse but im guessing most cheaper pen ink in general is similar or the same, ive been using papermates for the last couple brews and all is well but im just curious. sorry for the double post
