Interesting. I only use a drop per color string so I felt I was being safe. The colors I mentioned that have remained relatively fresh were special colors for a shirt and foliage that would require many visits with multiple drying times in between. To those colors I added just a bit more clove oil.

I didn't feel comfortable mixing and remixing the same colors but I guess I may have to change my approach. Afterall, if I can develop the original color by mixing I should be able to recreate it. I hope I am good enough to do that.
