Speedball 404696 3378 Super Black India Ink, 16 oz. Fles, 7.6' hoogte, 2.1' breedte, 2.4' lengte

Good quality, great price. Very opaque, super black is true to its name. I love the amount that you get!

What Amazon genius came up with “sheerness” as as an option? Seriously? Anyway, I used this super black India ink to make a super black dining table made from red Oak. Don’t even think about opening the bottle without gloves on. Also, anything the ink touches it will stain...for all eternity. If applying to wood, the secret is to continue wiping until it starts to haze over. The idea is to create a uniform thickness in the layer(s). If you allow the ink to pool or allow thicker layers to dry then it will blotch. These blotches will still be visible underneath a topcoat such as polyurethane. It would be visible when you see reflected light on the surface. It’s important to do only 1-2sf at a time because it flashes so quickly. Think shellac. If you have blotchy areas I suggest using a gray 3M pad and “sanding” it with the grain until it disappears. Worst case scenario,if you start seeing the wood through the ink, you have to reapply some ink to that area and just wipe until it hazes over and it will disappear. Once completely dry (in only a few minutes) lightly blend the new area in with the gray 3M pad and it blends nicely. Make sure the entire surface looks uniform after buffing with the same 3M pad then you can wipe it with a barely damp microfiber towel followed by a super dry microfiber towel. The damp microfiber towel will turn black quickly but since the finish is dry this actually washes out of the towel. The dry towel removes all of the fine debris from the wood grain. I used two coats of water-based matte polyurethane. I sprayed a light first coat followed by a very gentle 320 grit sanding, wiped with the microfiber towel then a second very wet coat. It leveled beautifully with no marks or fish eye or anything. I had planned on a third coat but after the second coat I was completely satisfied. Let the heavy coat dry overnight before you decide if you like it or not. The water-based-poly tends to look gray for a little while. With this larger bottle I was able to do two coats on the bottom and 2+ coats on the top of a 3 x 6 table and I still have an inch in the bottle. As a sidenote, I went to the dollar store and purchased one of those dish scrubbers that has the slightly abrasive oval pad with the hollow handle that you would normally fill with dish soap. Plus I bought a two pack refill of the scrubber ends. I would squirt 1-2 tablespoons into a plastic dish, soak the scrubby sponge and apply it to the wood in circular motions to fill all of the wood grain and then pulled the ink with the grain until it hazed over and looked uniform. Keep pulling out the darker areas as this indicates a thicker layer and then it will start to haze over. You have to move quickly or else it will dry. I can’t stress this enough. After a minute you will get the hang of it. Fun project!

C'est une encre d'un beau noir , indélébile rapidement même si il est préférable de laisser un séchage à coeur minimum passer de l'aquarelle dessus ne réveil pas l'encre heureusement ,pas d'odeur désagréable à noter .Quand elle est diluée dans différentes proportions jusqu'à 1/10 pour le sumi-e le dégradé reste dans une tonalité moyenne tirant un petit peu vers le gris chaud ,il faudra se faire la main au départ pour les dosages car elle très concentré.Pur il est parfait pour l'encrage : à la plume g ,au stylo de verre , à la minerva ,au pinceau, ou avec un stylo à plume à piston ( pensé à l'utiliser quasiment tout les jours pour éviter le bouchage)Attention si trop d'encre est déposée en surface d'un papier peu absorbant il pourra y avoir un reflet pouvant gêner la numérisation ,sinon le rendu est d'un beau mat soyeux sur quasi tout les supports ,j'ai fait aussi des tests d'adhérence sur des supports extrêmement lisse voir plastique ça accroche bien et il faut insister au grattage.Elle vient en supplément de différentes encres que j'utilise ( véritable encre de chine / pebeo/ pagode/ rotring/ schneider/ cleopatra/lefranc ... )Attention les tâches ... C'est de l'ordre du foutu si cela vient sur du textile ou du bois .Le format 473ml permet de voir arriver les choses et l'étiquette n'est pas celle en photo (cf photo ci joint)Bonne pratique à vous

I mean it is just awesome, I have attached couple of my artwork done with speedball ink for reference. you can check out more of my artwork at my insta page - justin.jessy.jose

That an attempt had been made to stop the leaking bottle by wrapping some tape around the top.
