Question

My bottle of Black Indian Ink has dried up. Is there anything I can add to it to make it usable?

Answer 1

Try water

Answer 2

Water should be enough to make it usable again.

Fill it up to slightly below where you THOUGHT the level of ink was before it dried out... It is easier to ADD water then it is to take it out should you dilute it too much.

Put the water in, cap it tight, then let it sit for at least a day to make sure the liquid has penetrated to the bottom of the dried mass of pigment.

Then SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE!

You could add a drop of glycerin to the mix to help r****d the drying process in the future but you may not like the alteration of the texture of the finished ink. (You buy glycerin at walgreens and it is used in wet products to help keep it smooth and flowing)

Answer 3

add 1/4 water and put the lid on, shake it up and it should work
