To Serjik911 The reason I asked have been using U-Tech sealer for years and the gray is fine but the black can have the "dirt" look. I believe Barry is correct as something with the black tint they add in the sealer to make it black. Iso clumping. Now not all ? Will use the epoxy as a thin sealer on most of the jobs now. Just my 2 cents worth.
Dirt in sealer only

Yes, did , left only aluminum cup, no strainers. should it be like that?
No way content has pigment separation!!
Dont use call for replacement

I didn't understand that.
And by any way I don't blame supply. Usually it's always my fault.
I think it's all started when I bought black spi and put mixing lid from grey gallon can that I already had. But I can intermix colors, right?

I have not used a yellow strainer that was 125 micron. The 125 micron ones have always been blue.
Also I don't know if I should mention this, but many years ago I had a problem with a primer that was being shipped to me in extreme cold conditions. One time when I measured the temp of a can coming out of the box it was at about 15° F. This ended up slightly harming the material and some of the pigment would form sand-like particles that were hard to filter out. Barry supplied me with a box of inline sock filters that filtered very finely, they were what enabled me to strain and use the material which still hardened and adhered just fine.
Now I think some tweaking to the material has taken place since then, because I have never seen this happen again. But it still makes me wonder if serjik's product has been subjected to some extreme that has caused it to have problems.

Several things can cause it; 9 times out of 10, you see this on epoxy or sealer put on mixing system and some lids will let solvents escape and tuning machine off and on all day long helps the solvents escape.
Next, if when can first be opened if excess pigments on the bottom of the can dont get mixed in right, then going forward, the pigment load is too heavy for the resins that are left; this is more common with epoxy.
The next thing is excessive temps for an extended period of time when stored in unstable temps.
Such as 35 in the morning and 50 in the afternoon or 40 to 60, not necessarily freezing, but it takes many days to cause this, not one or two weeks.
The excellent news is pigment does nothing but give color, so produce is fine, just dirty, and you cannot strain it out or mix it back in.
