Why does bro's vocale cords feel like sandpaper😂
This what graffiti sounds like as a person😭
Here in Spain there is a lot of local shops that do their own branded hand mixed, they write great and they are so cheap (most of them cost less than 3€)
That's really good. Glad to see that there are more options for that kind of stuff out there
that's awesome I wish I had that option. my best bet is NYC shops 5 hours away
Whaaaat there so cheap in Spain there $11-15 in Los Angeles California lol I wish I was in Spain 🤯
i think you can mod the krink paint stick to be softer while still keeping its permanent properties by making a crack oven (cut a soda-can in half and use the part with the pop tab as a stove, light a tea candle under it and use the top half as a pot) cut the stick into pieces, add it in, and toss in a little white paint or white oil pastel + a little vaseline (vaseline is what will soften it). melt it up and inject it back into the holder with a syringe or something. You can do this if u alr got the marker and ur not satisfied with it and u dont want ur money to go to waste.
Sounds like it'd work but I would rather just buy one that works next time around haha. Only ever bought that one krink one
Another awesome and very informative review! Thanks for creating and sharing Sciz!
My pleasure. Glad you're enjoying
My man SCIZ!!! I'm glad to see your subs over 10k!!! Keep grinding, bro!!! Good edits and info, as always!!! I've been meaning to dive into these sticks for a while now.
I've had an ArtPrimo SEMI jenk for a while now. I enjoy it and tags are pretty sturdy to weathering. But it's hella messy so I usually store it in a medical glove in my pocket. It's also not convenient for quick hits, say on a sidewalk somewhere. It's great for the privacy of bathrooms and stairwells where you have that extra minute to be clean about it both in style and mess wise. Anyway... you rock, bro. Always a pleasure to see you work. BIG UPS!! 💪🎨💣
Totally true about the messiness. That's sorta why I'm a fan of freight graff more so as well. You've got that extra minute to just think about your style and clean everything up too. And thank you for the kind words man! They are very much appreciated 🙏👊
@@ScizGraffiti yessir!
1:38 "I have never seen something so hard, with so much stickyness" eyo
Great video mate! Was looking forward to monday this week but i guess this works :)
Yeah the schedule is a little messy right now since I'm trying to get a couple videos per week out periodically for a while
I remember using them 20 years ago. I used to go to the skate shop on Windsor buy all the colors and go crazy 🤪
Woke up to get ready for work and this was just uploaded what luck lol stay up sciz!
glad you caught it man!
Good video! I literally watch your reviews before I purchase anything,
Glad they are helpful! Stay up man
So hyped for this vid
🙏
Yo yoooo I think all of your graffiti markers are dope stay up sciz 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
This is dope! Keep up the good work.
Thank you man! Much appreciated
copped 10 markal "quik stik" recently £2 on sale.. was expecting them to be trash but best paint stick ive used tbh smooth and cakey af
Nice! They sound like the AP ones!
So true with the first place this was my first marker ever.
You nailed it man it’s definitely hot in Arizona 😭😭😭😭
good job on doing the worst to best solids. i agree with alot of what you said about them and have a few disagreements. i just wanted to comment and say keep it up with your work and your videos.
I appreciate that! Always feel free to share your perspective here as well man!
@@ScizGraffiti thanks!
Robby Lobby used to have these thin little Uni solid markers I used to like to get. I took a couple year break and haven’t been able to find them anymore.
Great video sciz!
Thanks man!
my friend i'm from greece and i found a shop that has the MOLOTOW SCRAWL STICK for 6€ euro and i don't think that is realy overpriced in comperison to the hand mixed staff that is around 14-17€ depend on the model and the molotow is a 30mm solid paint marker i would rather prefer to get the molotow than the hand mixed, also great video!
Morning! Soon as I got the notification, I started wondering if this was going to be yet another Markal B review...
They're both fun for their own uses, but the part of them I hate most is packaging. Sakuras have caps that actually give you blisters, and Markals simply can't be stored without dirtying up a pocket. (Yes, I am completely disregarding every single other paint stick in this list. The 3 big boys are all that matter to me, lol)
-- A lot of versatility is ruined by the fact that I have to store it in a ziploc bag, lest I get my walmart drip dirtied with the SCUM that is harmless paint. Simply disgraceful.
Also, I made the mistake of getting a red one for my first, when I finally tried it. Sad that it's more of a pink. I'm used to Sakuras and their beautiful reds and blues that simply pop on a concrete pole. Often ended up not noticing my own tags :(
But, oil beats alcohol at the end of the day. Simply being able to hit a metal pole on a misty morning at 6 am gives it a lot of strength against the Sakura. That's my favorite hour to get up, and being able to cut straight through water is a big benefit.
Apologies for the super long comment, but it's 7 am on a Saturday and I have nothing better to do :D
very well stated, i can see where you are coming from with your opinion.
Yeah the messiness with the markals is something I did briefly mention but it's the biggest complaint I hear about them from people as well. Definitely important to know about before trying any hobo marker but, I just see it as the nature of them and probably how they keep the price cheap for them too. Very good points though about the oil vs alcohol formulae though. I don't know quite as much about that so I'm glad you're able to bring that to light for everyone
Your comment is NOT long enough!! Seriously tho if you're going to talk about what someone has just told you about a handful of different wax, greasy assed paint pens etc well WHY not?!?
IMO the Sakura SUPA-STOOPA overly priced very small & most likely about 2½inches of mixed paint in there ASWELL! I was Sooo pissed...Also, I was very unimpressed that they failed to adhere on ANYTHING wet, or even wettish... Having to sleeve dry spots before said tag was the worst thing about them...I realise it's the amount of oils added to get an even flow with ALL those pretty colours but a big 👎 thumbs down to Sakura's paint mix pens.
My regards & happy taggin' times to you! 🤣🤙
Yo yo brother sciz my guess that you like the markal best. ???
Yup I was correct! It’s all about the black ones! Crushed the streets with these. Keep ‘em in a plastic bag or what I used was a brown paper bag corner in my picket to pull out easy and back without a mess
@@RustyGraffitiReviews I just sacrificed a pocket in my fanny pack, but the thing is it's a white markal scroller and my fanny pack is black, lmao
@@TheRealL1R oh no! 😆 a you do what you gotta do sometimes. For the love of graff!
Yup, that's the nature of the good old hobo markers :)
Handmixed buy sakura streaker that why it feel similar btw, the short clip that you showed was the Lite product but the one you try (the Blue/white and Blue/red) are sakura streaker, they show it multiple time on instagram.
Ah, gotcha
What do you think about glowing paint stick markers really appreciate the information thanks for all your help
I thunk they're cool and all but it's hard to want to buy them when they're so expensive. They're a cool one for every once in a while for sure though
No mercy on the city busses, trash bins, street signs, and benches. I always had a bunch of Sakura mean streaks in my bag in the 90's.
"Clash One - KDS - Los Angeles"
Gotta get some of these. I’m always finding rough surfaces but can’t tag on it with the regular pump action chisel tip paint markers
Yeah these are a life saver for those situations :)
@@ScizGraffiti amen
I feel like I did this whole thing backwards...
I painted with cans first, then I discovered mops, now I'm loving solid paint sticks the most..
I want to turn grog paint solid...
Would be interesting to see a grog solid stick now that you mention it!
@@ScizGraffiti Update on this;
Not sure if its the wax I used or the particular paint and ink blend but grog doesn't like to deposit color after its bound to a wax. You get a lot of clear segments with chunks of color even though the whole stick looks densely pigmented.
I made a few chapsticks but I need to get this down pat before its worth using.
Spent six hous of each day this week just drying out grog and otr paint to recover the pigment.
One of these two doesnt like to dry very well, whichever one has the oil in it.
I have about a gram of pigment in my mortar ready to be blended with some wax and linseed oil.
I'm thinking any pigment will work, this final result definitely smells like some kinda iron-magnesium mix. Nothing special, so its the carrier blend that makes grog and otr paint special, and those cant be solidified with wax very well.
Thanks for this video Sciz! I ordered a Sakura Paint Stick today. Can you hit my name up in one of the next reviews/videos?
Just added nafa to my hit off list bro!
I'm only two minutes in, but I'm hoping and praying that the three top solid markers are 3- A.P hobo 2-MARKAL B, AND 1- SAKURA SOLID. I'm assuming that it won't but I trust that you will at least have the sakura solid in the top three.
🙃
The Hobo is an absolute beast. Writes in any weather, and that's why I love it. I've been living in the Washington State area, so during winter time, its almost always raining. And the Hobo marker is my go-to for this weather.
Anyone used the Edding 950 solid markers? Thoughts?
Edit: I tried the black and white Edding 950 myself in the meantime.
Where i live, you can buy them at the hardware store for around 4,50. According to the label, they are even made in Japan. Apropos Japan, i also tried a few Sakura solid markers and it seems like the ones from Edding are exactly the same. (Maybe they are even made by Sakura?) As i see it, only the label is different. If you peal off the labels, you wouldn't know which is which. But Edding only got four or five colors as far as i remember and you get only the black and the white ones at the hardware store.
I would buy a flame specifically to reuse its tube making homemade solid markers.
It's quite hot in Arizona during the summer yes
Haha good. Thought I was not wrong on that one but
I knew immediately where Markals would be 😂
🤣
Nice video. Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
dope!
I got stocked on paint sticks so I could do pastels street art. It's a very different style but exciucted properly can be amazing.
whatever works man!
@@ScizGraffiti I recently became homeless. Not drugs not booze, just can't afford to even live in my home town Austin Tx. So I've been leaning on the cheaper sticks. I personally like the art primo sticks. Shout out GR. 😆
@@Lil-Britches hope it works out for you
@@Lil-Britches maybe worry about getting a home instead of worrying about paint sticks
@@bigganger9343 I watch UA-cam to occupie my mind outside of my job. I'm not a bum, but I have paint sticks and stickers. I'm working on it don't get it twisted. It's just my personal situation. Have a great day person. 😀
Hey Sciz, I know that it's not the typical topic for you channel, but have you ever made your own paint stick?
Yeah I definitely wouldn't be opposed to more diy stuff on the channel. I don't make too much of that kind of content just cause there aren't too many things that I'm actually good enough at that I feel like I should share lol. I do make some inks/paints but never tried paintsticks haha
@@ScizGraffiti I get what you're saying man. Would it be too far off brand if it was from a place/stance of not knowing and the viewer is just along for the process and seeing what to do and what not to do? It seems like you know what to look for.
1:55 i’m from Arizona and i can confirm it does get hot. there are two things
1. it only gets hot in the summer. not all year round like people think it does
2. the places where it DOES get hot are only in the southern and western portions of Arizona, AKA the lower desert portions. Places in Northern and Eastern Arizona (Flagstaff, Sedona, Show Low, Prescott, Williams, Kingman, the Grand Canyon, etc) hardly ever top 90 degrees F (32C) during the summer and have cold winters as low as -10F or -23C.
Also, i tag in 100F (38C) degree heat (i’m from Phoenix) and i’m thankful as fuck that none of my paint sticks have melted 💀
Markal stick n1 for sure.
👌 ✍️
Love a paint stick CANNONE
so where can you get art primo in Canada?
Man I wish I had a good answer for you but the sad truth is, the artprimo site is the only place you can get most of their products. I'm in Canada as well and this is the exact reason I don't buy the art primo stuff: it's just too expensive for our poor little Canadian dollar. The conversation makes a lot of it really unaffordable :/
i dont see the link for the markal deal?
First link in the description :)
Markall b paint stick for the dub
How do u know handmix dont split up Sakuras n slang em? Pretty sure they do from exp
People have been telling me that they do that for the regular ones and the lite ones they don't, which seems to be more correct than what I said haha
Have you tried Edding industrial marker?
Haven't got to try that one. Not sure of a place I can get em from in my area
Edding **
Sciz man I’ve tried to tell you before, look up Thefseries. They make the same exact, precise splits as handmixed. He’s based out of California and ships to Canada for sure. His splits are top tier, I’ve got over 15 of them and won’t get them from any one else. Those split streakers that are “made” by art primo, are made by THEFSERIES. Thefseries has an art primo collab right now. He makes them and art primo puts their label on them. They’re a lot cheaper than hand mixed will ever be as well. Also, hand mixed for sure uses Sakura markers for their splits. If you watch their Instagram videos and stories you’ll see that it’s literally Sakura markers. They use the regular Sakura and the Japanese import Sakura. Hope you check them out, Thefseries would be another cool review and definitely more content for you! Hope this helps.
Just opened their website in a tab to make sure I remember to give it a closer look. Thank you for the info man!
@@ScizGraffiti for sure! his alcohol based paint mops are also the shit, he’s got a good formula going !
on hand mixed website it literally says that they use Sakura paints. we’re they trying to hide it for a time?
No it wasn't that they were trying to hide it (although sakura could literally sue them; it's just really hard and expensive to take on an international tort law case) it was that I was looking at the hand mixed lite ones which they say they get their own formula from somewhere in china. So I assun=med it was like that for all their paint sticks but I was wrong. I guess the originals are the sakuras :)
Krink isnt ready for the streets unless u get the mops
All the rest should be for blackbook outline
Yeah they cater to the "street art" scene more than the graff scene as far as I'm concerned
Markal B?!
I did not see that coming.
haha yeah, it's all personal preference though :)
What about Sanford streaks?
Haven't tried em
Yes....it's very hot here in Arizona...😁🤙🏼....
Haha good. Then I didn't make a total fool of myself
Beginning of video... CRAVER - SDK - BC CANADA
The legend himself :)
In the UK molotow scrawl sticks are about £4
Yeah that translates to about the same price here though once you convert
@@ScizGraffiti oh I didnt know haha
@@1.nemzzz yesh the dollar is pretty weak haha
the silver hobo is official
Markall streakers all the way
If you want you should trie solid combo. It is a paint stick just like handmixed on half the price.
Hand mixed are just split Sakuras btw
i feel like we're on the same page on some cosmic level when it comes to what it is interesting us
I almost mentioned the AP/Handmixed thing and figured you'd prolly cover it. y'did 🤣
edit
what happened to Junobo they're a philly based company I wonder if those guys are still in the state, I'm not far from the city
also! my Sakura that failed the extruder was a high temp blue.
Yeah i don't know what happened with the junobo brand. I was hoping to actually ruslly do a video on the subject at some point but it's been hard to find any information on it at all
@@ScizGraffiti let me see if any of the southeast PA Writers I know have been gettin up long enough to know, or know some OGs from the delph that could fill me in... how long ago did it dissolve?
@@ho0t0w1 I'm not sure exactly but I would assume around the same time they discontinued the scrawler on their Instagram. You can see when they stopped posting and I think it's just @junobopaint. Definitely stopped at least 5 years ago I would estimate. Maybe closer to 7 or 8 though. If you do find out anything, shoot me a dm on insta if you can!
I think you're going to put the sakura streaker in 1st place because it's the og
good guess :)
Art primo Hobo solid marker
Incan tell you i do roofing in phx az and it be questioning yournlife hot here in the summer lol 118° prerty standard every summer
Surprised you didn't mention sharpie meanstreaks
Those are actually super hard to get where I am so I've never been able to get my hands on em haha.
@@ScizGraffiti yeah, they seem to be harder to find in stores now for me. Usually end up ordering online. Those are classic af on the west coast.
Solid marker
wait dont you have another graffiti channel feel like i saw u before
Always just had this one but I have had it for 12 years so maybe you saw an older video long ago or something haha
Art primo streaks are the best
Sakura paint stick is 1!
I recently got me a pack of minions the rise of gru fuckin paint stick, it was bout 3/4 euro or in my case 8 bulgarian lev for 5 colours-black,blue,brown,yellow red and it was pretty hilarious so i just knew that i had to pick em up😄🤣😂🤣😂
whatever those are, at least they're super cheap! haha
7:30 something hand mixed
The lack of art primo products in your videos is honestly sad. Some of the best in the game.
Like the title says, the best that *I* have used. If my Canadian Dollar was stronger compared to the US, and the international shipping wasn't as bad, I would be able to get more art primo stuff, but I go through too much to be not taking the best price I can get every time. 🤷♂️ And I literally mentioned 2 or 3 AP products in this video just to be clear 🤷♂️🤷♂️
First 2 words in your name acronym confirmed. He mentioned art primo at least a couple times as I recall.... Maybe your company ought to sponsor dudes content if you want even more.
@@ScizGraffiti that’s fair
The Flame one Costs like 1 € here in germany haha
Yeah a few people have mentioned that! I'd consider them at that price (that's like 2 dollars) but not much more haha
markal b
My issues with markal b is they will never really dry. They can be smeared by the touch days after you write with them. Atleast that’s how the art primo ones felt.
Yeah they definitely aren't the most permanent thing. I'm usually not too worried about that as long as it lasts through all weather. I haven't tried the AP ones specifically but I find the markals dry well enough usually. I mostly have only experience with them on one surface though, the freights haha. Might not dry as well on some more street surfaces
@@ScizGraffiti cheers man. Another great review
Didn’t have the Mean Streakers
yeah they are hard to get in my area so I've never tired em out believe it or not
The closer he gets to the end of his sentence the more vocal fry comes out lmao
This might sound weird, but it so nice to finally see a comment from someone who understands how vocal fry works. Most people think I'm like trying to use a fake voice or something
@@ScizGraffiti haha no worries man 😂 love the videos by the way dope stuff 🔥
#1 is sakura?
dang! i was wrong, it was 2nd :D
Very good guess though 🙃
Rink is expensive but yet the quality on their products are bad
Krink is so expensive just bc their looks not their product
edding
bro i just noticed molotow upside down spells molotow
Yup lol
I feel like you’ve made this video 4 times already
I mean...I think I would know if I had...and I haven't 😂😂😂
@@ScizGraffiti ua-cam.com/video/HmX5gRx4b28/v-deo.html u runnin out of idea big dawg
Mean streak
Hahah we already know Markal B hahah
Where’s meanstreaks
believe it or not I've never got to use em. they're a lot harder to find in Canada compared to the US
Secura is too sticky
I find that as well but I';ve been told it tends to be worse with the black and white ones
he talks so slow i had to speed the video up
KRINK IS WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR NO REASON AT ALL
too true man too true
@@ScizGraffiti 18$ for a KRINK mop in nyc 🤦🏽♂️ ROBBERY
At the end of everyone of his sentences his voice sounds like scratchy
aw thanks
why do u try to make ur voice deeper i can bareley understand some words
why and how would I be making my voice deeper 😂😂
Krink is the Gucci of the graff world it’s overpriced nonsense
30 yrs of people using paint sticks?? Lol Do your research sunny., before you make videos saying false info.
It's been way longer than 30 years tho...
Lol they literally say themselves that they use sakuras 🤣🤣 check theyre instagram theres vids of them using sakuras
Someone was telling me that they do for the normal ones and the ones I was looking at are the lite ones. :)
that's my number 1 paint Stick too but I found a cap for it and with a blade I peel off the outer part then put the Cap on. YEW! UACcrew. Chicago 👍
always good to make a homemade cap for em. Saves your pockets from getting messy haha
