Tagging graffiti in winter is not the same. and I'm not talking about those days when it's
a crisp negative five and there's a few snow flurries. no no. I'm talking about when the
high of the day is negative 30 degrees Celsius. the kind of cold where you go outside and the
inside of your nostrils immediately freeze. in conditions like that you can't afford to carry
normal spray paint and have a little bit of excess paint freeze to your fingertips or your gloves.
and that is why today we are taking a look at the top five graffiti markers and mops for winter time
graffiti tagging. and if you stick around to see all five you'll actually have a pretty good five
marker combo as well for any tagging conditions. so stay to the end for that. number five;
so we're looking at graffiti markers here that can be used in those extreme conditions where you
pretty legitimately need some serious gloves on. that along with the temperatures messing with the
kind of liquid you're using means you need some very specific different kinds of liquid as well
to be tagging effectively in extreme cold and because of that the number five graffiti marker
on this list is something like the krink k66 or the Grog Metal Head let me explain both of these
markers have caps that are easily removable and replaceable if you're wearing some serious gloves
and also these two markers both have bodies that are super squeezable which gives you that extra
bit of control if your hands are covered in some big gloves or something like that but
that's enough about the gloves this isn't the only reason I chose this marker this specific
k66 is the k66 we made an awesome formula where we mixed k66 paint as well as some ball and fluid
it turned out to be a super awesome way to make a graffiti ink you can see that video in the corner
or the description and that formula in here is significant the reason it's significant is
because inks in particular usually have a much lower freezing point than pains we've all had
that experience where we're trying to paint a piece in relatively cold weather and you just
happen to place your hand on it and your hand just slides like butter on a surface and smears because
the paint has frozen rather than drying in fact here is a list of rough freezing points for inks
including alcohol-based inks and if you want to get really serious about it xylene based inks are
pretty much impossible to freeze so these metal heads are good for winter but really it's the
formula inside here that we made that really puts this on top you guys know I don't really recommend
print openly very often but again you can check that video where we made a new formula for this
case 66. in the video I mentioned number four but the number four graffiti marker for tagging
in winter is one that I don't think I've ever recommended under almost any circumstance in fact
it's actually on our list of the top five worst graffiti supplies what is it of course it's the
flame solid wax marker so why am I recommending it here well as much as I love the markal b paint
sticks and I really do think the markers are the best value for money especially if you buy them
in bulk from that link I always link below they're just not right for winter you know the paint stick
slide out of the cardboard and sakuras are hand mix well the problem with them is that
even with like a light pair of gloves on these twist up systems can be a real pain as well as
the caps. so in this very specific instance the flame wax marker has you covered in more than
one way actually firstly the Cap's super easy to remove and put back on it's a nice big cap and
secondly the twist up system is so loose that you can do it with gloves just fine but that's not the
only way it has that you cover it in case you're not hearing me I said flame solid wax marker wax
solid markers like this are wax for a reason. they're like that because the staining agent
in them is actually ink and what did we learn about inks well those inks will still be able
to stain surfaces in those low temperatures so in this very specific instance the flame solid wax
marker seems to have us covered number three now number three is the solid choice for any graffiti
writer and that's because it's any big graffiti mob That You're Gonna Fill with of course a nice
ink my personal recommendations are something like the Frog squeezer 25 mm nib the big guy there or
something like the soultip 003 I'm recommending these two just because they have big caps easy
to work with again if your hands are covered the bigger mops are usually a little more squeezable
in this instance especially the OTR Soultip 003 and the 003 is good in this instance for a reason
I learned the hard way that if you let these sit even for about a month then it gets totally dried
out listen to that that's crazy so if you continue to use these throughout winter that helps the nib
stay juice up and it won't dry out on you like that it's a win-win and you can check out the
full tagging test of this guy in the corner or the description of course number two number two is one
that I've come to really like since reviewing it a couple months back on the channel what is it it
is of course the molotow 612 tank marker a tank marker is something that you're going to want to
fill it with an ink specifically an alcohol-based ink in this instance and most others and you know
what it just slaps there's no other way to put it so it's definitely a good one to check out here
number one and the number one graffiti marker for winter graffiti tagging is a real Blue Chip Pick
in my opinion and that's because it's really any of those angled chisel tips that you'll commonly
see in metal bodies like this now this is the krink k71 I wouldn't necessarily recommend the
crank version of a marker like this in fact I'll tell you a little secret that I don't think most
Graffiti Writers have tried or know about this is the IM 14 bleed through by Arrow Mark or Mighty
Marker and this guy is the way to go it has a super nice flowing solid valve system and it
says right on it that the ink it comes filled with is actually xylene base or contains xylene which
is actually really hard to find nowadays and as a reminder these are the temperatures that xylene
would freeze in rather than drying so for winter graffiti tagging conditions xylene is poggers.
is that what the kids say nowadays? but anyway for those of you who have stuck around till the
end this is a pretty good five marker setup in the first place you know you've got your skill
tips got a solid marker that probably could be substituted some normal mops and chisel tips on
the extreme large and small end of the equation for you you've got all your bases covered I
mentioned it before but if you want to check out the exact formula we concocted and put into this
Crank k66 that video is on screen right now it'll be a good one that you might want to check out and
you can head over there right now I hope to see you over there soon and just quickly I wanted
to say a massive thank you to everyone who has picked up their very own tags throws and pieces
t-shirt or hoodie that merch is linked below it not only gets you some dope graffiti merch to
represent our lifestyle here but it makes a big difference in supporting the channel so again
thank you to everyone who has jumped on that I hope to see you over there soon until then peace!
