I tried dry pigment for my initial work in gum. As you indicated, I
tried to pre-mix about 100cc of gum for future use. I found the dry
pigment difficult to mix initially, but worst of all it settled to the
bottom of the container. At first this could be re-mixed by shaking,
but later it was rather hard. I tried to mix it with the end of a
paint brush, but it had the consistency of butter in the freezer ( I
could just barely scratch it). I finally gave up on the dry pigments
and pre-mixed tube watercolors with gum. I had good luck with this
for several months, but haven't touched it for almost 4 months now.
Unfortunately it is currently packed in boxes so I can't give you more
complete info.
