My Wolfe black got all gooey in the pot!

Hey y'all,
I don't know if i'm using the right description here, but it seems that my Wolfe black has gotten all gooey and tar-looking in it's pot! All my other Wolfe colors seem fine, but the black seems so hard to work with! It has a wet tar consistency, kinda weird... I haven't had this happen with any other of my paints. I usually let my paints air dry before putting them away, so I don't know what this could be!
I just want to toss it and get a new one! Has this happened to anyone before? Which brand should I replace this one with?

You need to let it dry out

you are using too much water... Its getting goopy and not being able to dry properly. When I went to Fabbulas one of the teachers suggested immediately cutting the center of your black cake out.... Just using the rim and some water in the middle will make the best consistency of black.

Thanks so much girls!!! I am going to leave the pot open for the rest of the day!

It may take several days. Once it's dry, press it down with a babywipe or cloth. Then make a hole in the center & just ad a little water to it. Mix up a nice consistency with your brush in the hole & dip your paint out from there. Add water as needed(I drip it off my brush). You can have this this problem with the white too.

definately sounds like a problem of too much water. Due to their high wax contents, Wolfe and DFX don't need much water at all to be really effective. Using too much water like the amount you would use with Paradise or Snazz will give you black soup. leave the lid open and let it dry out in a warm dry place and you should be just fine. I sometimes have this problem near the end of long gigs. Getting use to the water to paint ratio can be hard, but comes with practice. If you still have problems, try making a dippy pot out of your black. I have one in both black and white and I LOVE them! I never have problems with too much water in my white or black anymore!
