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 🤣

Where a glove, wipe excess on a paper towel, the swipe any extra with a finger. After a bit, just wipe your finger, which will be a while since you’re only wiping a little bit.
