Blackening Lead Came

My lifetime supply of lampblack was about to finally run out. I had an
old bottle of Black India ink that I use for stamp pads. The stuff is
incredably insidious. It's so concentrated that one tiny droplet tends to
escape the bottle and spread its way all over the place as I try to clean it
up. I figured that was a perfect fit. I've been using it in my putty mix
with great results. Like lampblack, a tiny bit gives me jet black glazing
compound.

Put a cold spoon in the yellow part of a candle flame and lamp black
will deposit on the spoon.
Huh? You mean the extremely fine black black powdery stuff I
keep brushing off the firebricks in my fireplace are fair game?
I've been using black tinting from the paint store, the stuff they use
to tint/color paint. They gave me a cup full for free, not sure if
it's proper in the SG world, but it sure works.

That is the stuff I use in my formula, I have a 25 lb bag of it, for the
last 6 yrs, with maybe 2 lbs gone.
Works great, goes far, substitute for carbon black for across the board.
