Default Re: strange "spit"

I use mostly com-art because it's so easy to use, but also some createx (that I have a hard time with) and some schmincke effect paint that is very thick and contains lots of big pigments. I shake my paints VERY hard, but haven't thinned or strained the schmincke or createx since I'm afraid that'll remove lots of the effect pigments (pearls/mettallics), maybe that's why I can't get them to flow good and maybe also the reason for buildup somewhere?

My needle isn't manipulated in any way, but I could try to change it since I have a spare. I have to find a magnifier and inspect both the needle and the nozzle cap, it starts to sound like there might be some old junk in the cap!
