Not to confuse the subject, but Shofu just came out with Vintage Art UNIVERSAL Stains. Can be used on everything. Low temp, 2 glaze powders, 2 types of liquids and developed by Yamamoto himself.

I used their Vintage Arts Stains and really liked all the colors and how easy they were to use, But remember, their stains/pigments.
MiYO is 80%ceramic and 20 pigment.

Edit:
Another really great stain kit, Vita Akzent, all the colors in the rainbow and I used it for many+ years. but still not a ceramic stain. As easy as it is to use all these different brands of stain kits I still like the idea of using MiYO having 80% ceramic in the material on the crown.

I only use MiYO 20% of the time, and InSync the other 80%. Just a preference thing :)

I bought the InSyns Kit just weeks after Jensen released it and now its aging in a drawer and use only MiYO.
Got a feeling Vintage Art Universal is like InSync ? not that I know !

I'm sure that is the same case for many now, MiYO users :)

My all time favorites in the past were Akzent, Vintage Art and Ivocolor.

Basically I was just dabbing the material off the top of the jar, because it was the right consistency. There must of been some clumping or non dispersion of the material. Now mixing it thoroughly in the morning has taken care of the problem. Danged basics. I just hate wasting what is left on the mixing instrument even if you wipe what you can off. I only needed a touch of something and am wasting a crown or twos worth.

use your glazing brush to clean off the mixing tool and put it back in the jar ;)

I do, but I guess I am not as proficient as you.
do you have a well with an enclosure you can wipe the excess into? i have a tray with a lid that i wipe the brush on (instead of back in the jar)
even if it sits for a couple days i can just dip the very tip of the brush into some liquid and mix it up some....back to usable consistency

*edit* i have a tray with like 30 small wells and a large center well. i use the center well for the glaze, and the smaller wells for stains and stain combinations.
