Question for India Ink users

[steffers29madds]

So for those of you who use India Ink, do you have problems when you use mod podge as a sealant? This is the second time I've used it on eyes and it has smeared both times. Am I doing something wrong? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I think the trick is to dab the sealer on, if you paint it on like normal it will smear. You could dab with a brush or possible a make up sponge.

Hmmm....I never thought of that. I will have to try it after I "fix" the smears. I'm so aggravated right now as they looked so nice before. Ugh.

I had the same problem, ended up looking like they had eye shadow!! I just ended up fixing it, an the next day, sooo slightly dabbing it on. goodluck, i feel your pain!

India Ink requires many days of drying before you can do anything with it.  Also works best on a primed base.  Strait in vinyl it has a hard time adhering to the plastic.

Maybe try a spray varnish?

Odd, I've never really had a problem with smearing, but then, I might not be sealing it til many days after lol. I can never remember, finishing customs often span many days for me   Good info to know, tho

I have never worked with it, but I know there is a long dry time with it

Hmm.. I have india ink, but I never considered using it on a pony. What do people like to use it for exactly? Fine detail lines?
