Does anyone have a quart of white Advance Hi-Pro Screening Ink on their shelf they’re not gonna use? I do a lot of boat lettering and for years I have been using the ink to hand letter state registration numbers and boat names on inflatable dinghys. My white is all dried up. I have to thin the ink to brushing consistency and I’m also looking for some Advance #920 thinner.
If anyone has a suggestion or idea of another paint or ink to use for lettering inflatable dinghys I’d like to hear it. The boats are made of hypalon and the new ones have a pvc coating. I’ve heard that Nasdar makes a vinyl screening ink. I’m willing to do some experimentation to get the results I need. Thanks for your input.

Naz-Dar GV series will work.

Thanks Doug. Should I go with the flat or gloss? I know the Advance flat dried in less than 10 minutes.

the "G" in GV series stands for gloss. They probably have flat too if you want.
I don't know about 10 minutes, but I know when screenprinting 2 color jobs, by the time the second color screen is set-up, the first color is ready to print again, so it will dry plenty fast.
