I got lucky again with the old pigment. I will have to try the d-white thing on a personal project before going prime time with it. Though I would prefer to just have the stuff come out of that squeezy bottle the way it should. I noticed the batch number looks like a date and the new stuff if almost a year old. I am going to have a chat about this with ryonet, they should have newer stock than that.
The premix white has a similar kind of batch number and is only about three months old. I imagine they get a lot more call for premix white than the pigment.
