I just tried recolouring a few wood veneers with some pigment ink I had on hand (the only type of ink I had in the colour I wanted). 15 minutes later and the ink is still wet. It rubs right off on my hands.
Did I use the wrong kind of ink? Is there a trick to this that I don't know? | |

I use Mister Huey color mist. I let it air dry or use my heat gun if I'm in a hurry. |

If I'm using an ink pad and not a mist, I use dye based inks. I don't own any pigment based inks for the very reason that they take a million years to dry!  . I use Close To My Heart ink and it hasn't failed me yet. | |

Acrylic paints work nicely also. |

Heat it with a heat gun until its dry. It will be fine after that. I've had to do that in the past week on other slick surfaces. |

I have found that the best ink to use are the prima chalk inks, they are amazing on the veneer, i use veneer on everything and could not live without the Prima for this reason |
