Hi again.
I'm in Portugal (a little European Country) I have made some research but I can't find the ink any where!!
The two only solutions I have:
1 - making my own ink! (but I have know how...);
2 - the nearest shop on-line that I have seen is French.
But I really prefered the first choice, if it is possible...
Sorry about my english

Your english is fine. As for "ink", you may want to try for a fast-drying paint.

Hi Zippo
You can use Tipex/correction fluid or nail varnish.Apply with a minimal amount on the brush and give it time to dry. I would go with Tipex i've used it lots.

Wonderful! I thought we couldn't use varnish/tipex because of it's active smell!
In 2006 one friend order some white markers from "Uni-Posca"! And lended one, it's very easy to use! But I can't find it anywhere here.
Thanks!!

I buy enamel paint pens (Testors brand) in the local hardware store. They work fine. I've also used the "Uni-Posca" pens. They also work fine. Any fast drying enamel should work.
