We had the problem with the wb adhesive giving up when flashing dc underbase. We found we were overflashing, which causes the discharge to steam and that "slimed" up the adhesive.

Recently tried the CCI DCUB, did not like it. We will continue to mix our own...

Mind expanding on what you didn't like and how it compares to the standard 80/20 dbase/dwhite mix a lot of us already use?

For us it hung up in the screen, needed a double stroke. The viscosity was jelly like, did not flow well. Lastly we did not like the smell/odor.

Straight CCI base usually discharges white enough for us to be good for most top colors. Large swaths
of transparent colors or questionable garments and we'll add white. For us, more white = more problems.
