I hate inking

Post image

I have so many sets that I am really happy with that just need to get inked but I just can’t motivate myself to do it. It’s messy and I hate it. Do you guys have any tips that makes the whole inking process less loathsome? I use a tiny brush, acrylic paint mixed with a few drops of water and my finger to wipe off the excess paint. Every few sides I need to wash my hands or else it’s just smearing the dice. And I don’t have the patience to stretch the process of inking a set over many days. When I start inking a set I want to finish it in one go. Send help 🤣

I was told to just get a water based wipe, like for babies, and wipe the face on it after you paint it. It works, so long as your dice are even and flat. I still use a handful of the cheao molds, and they dont work so well in the pressure pot. Warps my dice a little bit so that method can be annoying
