LOL! you dumbass. Why didn't you get a KO?

black and green sir, but any suggestions otherwise? just wanted some drippy gold action and was severely dissapointed

Doesnt all the pigments n sh*t get stuck in the nib? or did the new formula fix that?

[godless]

perhaps try this. take out the nib, then take a safety pin and push it through the length of the nib. this should help the ink flow into the nib a bit better. maybe flaring the nib could help reduce the streakyness? also make sure you've shaken the hell out of the market, that gold pigment will all settle and that might be why your nib is clogged

I've seen a few of the gold smash markers do that.
I have recommended shaking them up a bit and also poking the nib with a needle. Think about it, metallic pigments are a lot larger than paint.
I wonder how hard of a time the Smash boys had finding the right concoction between xylene and gold for it to cover, be fluid and not clump like that.
They should have consulted Biz.

i bit and flared my silver marker.. well i bit it... idk if its flared or not... whenever i flare my markers they just get streaky as hell... so i have to flip the nib.

If it's not fully juiced it'll get streaky

i don't know if there is a right or wrong way but i rub them on cinder block and it seems to work well.

[Duke EeLLington]

essentially what you are doing is loosening the fibers in the nib to allow pigment passage.

[resk]

but most of the time when i do this it just makes it streaky..

[biz-one]

Personally, I always rubbed it on cement or something rough enough to flatten the nib out, then used a seraded knife to actually cut slits into the tip of it, in a grid pattern. So when you go to write with it, the tip of the nib actually spreads outwards.

[resk]

ok ok... i need to try this..

[frosty]

im interested in what this looks like. could you post a pic?

[whatupdun]

i always took an x-acto knife, cut it into the nib horizontally, and twirled the nib around it.

[Burnin Blunts]

I usually make some shallow slices in the nib and make a bunch of shallow stabs with a safety pin to help loosen it up, then cement.
