I am about to start using the Rutland M3 mixing system.The first color I mixed (a navy blue) was not accurate according to my Pantone chart.In another post I read that people put clear base on the spatula and inside the mixing container.What does this do?Are there any other ideas or tips ideas that will make mixing easier?
