Yesterday's batch I used a 33% solution for the first time. Both the FOs I used are ones I've used before and neither accelerate. My castor oil was only 5%. Nothing in the batch should have caused acceleration, and even though I tend to be a little SB happy, the batter was only at very light trace when I added colors. Oh and each color is one I've worked with before (activated charcoal, madder root, anatto seed powder). There's nothing I can see that would have caused the batter to get so thick so fast... ugh.
It literally went from fluid to thick pudding before I could even get to through the second round of pouring colors. First pour into the pot, everything was ok... a little thicker than I wanted, but ok. By the time I got through the second pass of pouring colors, it was very thick, and even a quick stir didn't loosen it up.
Is this normal for working with a 33% solution?
TY for any help
