RE: Some temperaprint questions - beware! these are dummy,beginners questions

I add 5ml STEM to 1" of tube pigment and stir (with a stiff bristle
brush), then I add 5ml more STEM and stir, then add 10ml STEM and stir
again and finally I further add 10ml (final ratio is 1" paint to 50ml
STEM. Will try adding much less STEM each time (like making mayonnaise)
- thanks for describing!
