#i have some sketchink lotte and i ADORE it its like the best waterproof fountain pen ink ive ever used
#like bulletproof inks dont work on my mixed media paper (dont soak in enough) and other pigment inks like carbon black
#have also just never worked?? maybe i keep getting bad batches?? or maybe the climate where i live is weird for it????
#but sketchink lotte..... perfect... ALMOST perfect
#the one problem i had was it kept drying out in my capped pens and i would have the hardest starts on earth
#SO i tried a few things: fixing some of the sealing problems (i love pilot kakunos but the safety holes in the caps...LOL)
#(i hot glued those shut which helped a lot. also got a lightive recently and that things WONDERFUL i hope the NA market gets them soon)
#BUT that didnt fix everything so i tried using a TINY bit of dishsoap to help slow the drying
#which mostly worked like it helped the drying issue totally and didnt affect the waterproofness
#BUT it seemed to dilute the blackness of the ink which i didnt care for. i want black ink if i wanted gray i woulda bought the gray sketchin
#SO i got a hold of some vaness white lightning and grabbed a vial and put the TINIEST amount i could in there
#and like at first it seemed to be worse like affected the darkness and the waterproofness too
#(you can see the shadowy smudge next to the first rosie from my testing lol)
#lbut after letting the ink sit in the pen over night it seemed to have. fixed itsefl? its dark and waterproof fully again???
#i noticed the vial was super bubbly when i originally put it in but after about 24 hours the bubbles are gone
#so maybe thats what the problem was? it needed time to settle?
#what is this stuff. white lightning is full of secrets
#this concludes my quarterly report on waterproof fountain pen ink research thank you and goodnight
