Don't know that brand, but I believe most brands call for 5-10% (per weight) bonding agent to ink.

Good luck,

Ken

QCM seems to be pretty knowledgeable about it.

No there isn't anything pre-mixed. Once you add the bonding agent, the shelf life of the ink is reduced to hours. So, don't mix more than you are going to use.

THANKS for the link wormil. Just what i needed. And I think I have to run them through the dryer at a faster speed beacause the nylon will melt. Will it help curing if I put them through twice?
