Hell there, so I want to mod my decks. For now only edging the decks, what kind of markers should I use to edge my decks especially for the metallics.
I’m afraid I can’t be of help as I have thought about modding some of my decks for a long time but I am scared of messing up. However, I have reblogged quite a few deck modifications in the past so I hope that someone more knowledgeable sees this post and shares some tips 💖
Note: I will be adding the replies to this post
@paigedoestarot said: If you can afford it, Sharpie metallics will work a LOT better than cheap metallic markers. For black edges, Sharpies are best. For any other color, Crayola has treated my decks just fine.
@awitchandhersecrets said: I saw a mod once where they colored the edges with a stamp pad, so you just ran the card’s edge along the pad instead of worrying about the tip of a marker. Looked easier. Only tip was try not to do too many at once. One at a time on the pad worked great, two worked too, but failed once you tried edging too many. Black looked amazing but I can imagine metallic being gorgeous too.
@resonance-of-libra said: There are metallic stamp pads that work, and ones that don’t. I know. I found the ones that don’t and my deck rubbed off all the ink and smelled funny for months and now there’s just … dirty looking stained edges. I dint know what metallic ones work though!
@coffeeandtarot said: Get archival ink pads. I have a “vintage black” (black with gold metallic shimmer) that looks beautiful and the ink hasn’t rubbed off at all.
@darkbluedivining said: Okay, I used a silver sharpie on one of my decks and it’s the worst. Like, it looks fine, but for some reason the ink didn’t set. I did it over a month ago and the silver still comes off on my fingers. I do not recommend the metallic sharpie.
