Hey all,

I've come to finish off a project I started some time ago and unfortunately it uses copious amounts of GW's old chestnut ink, of which I have about 5mm left in a single pot (in one of the hex pots like this). I've tried Coat d'arms version but it's not remotely similar, can anybody suggest something that I can use, or know if this ink is being sold still (under a different company/name)?

Liquitex does a chestnut ink lookalike, yes, the coat d'arms stuff is the ancient ancient hexagonal pot (pre boltershell pot) chestnut wash, sadly.

It looks very similar but I myself have never used it so no idea how it comes off the brush etc.
