    don't worry dude, you weren't being a douche, so what your saying is if i want to mix ink, i should mix acetone with oil based paint and not add any dot 3, also i was planning on putting it in a marker, not a mop, will it work in a marker. also should i add anything else to make it more permanant, thanx for your help!

    no. that would be paint.
    tremclad is PAINT

    ink just means its thin enough to flow through a marker, and usually insk have more dyes than pigments, unless its a pigmented ink.

    and dont ever add dot3 to paint,

    dont put it in a marker. It wont work well unless you thinned it a lot. But thinning a lot can make it less opaque and transparent and ugly.

    well what the hell, the whole time ive been on this thread people are always talking about how much you need pigment, and now hetts all like nah man, fuck pigment it only makes it worse. oh my god this is con fusing, so if i put black pigment in my pen ink recipe, itll make the dyes fade quicer

    yo explain this hett your all back and forth
    first your like black pigment absorbs light which is bad and then the next sentence you say pigment makes it good for anywhere. are you saying i cant have stain and lightfastness??

    no im not sayign fuck pigment, im all for pigment, but you gotta know how to add it, you cant just dump it in, you have to use some resin or some other binder to make sure they stay in there.
    and yea black absorbs light which makes things fade faster, but without pigment its still black ink so its teh same...

    i dont get some of these kids on here... whats so hard about understanding the diff between ink and paint!? Dont add dot3 to ur paint!!! It is only meant for inks...
    quick q... from what i understand acetone and chemicals like it can be used to clean paint and even some inks. So than how come inks are acetone based? wud it not juss make it weaker?

    take out the ash from the cigs, and for the malachite green, id boil or let it evaporate for a little, then add it, that way its just as

    and tinytim- not sure, im still looking into that myself, its pretty hard to find a good binder for alcohol inks, which is usually why most pigmented inks are xylene or some other base. but ill get back to you.
    gum acaia aka gum arabic is for watercolors, so im not sure how well that would work, i have some myself and im still seeign whats up with it
