I have a question regarding the "Dr Martin's Bleed proof white" product and kind of need help with it.

Back when I made a course with Joe Kubert I received a Dr Martin's white to use over the inks to fix mistakes and create effects but it kind of disappeared and I had to buy another one recently since I wanted to try my hand at inking again.

But the "thing" I received is kind of weird, it doesn't stick to the brush so it's quite difficult to apply, and when I apply it is kind of oily (and it's well stirred). What's worse is that when i try to reapply ink to cover it the ink won't stick, it dries the ink almost instantly but it becomes like a crust that wont stay over the white product and most of the time the crust get stuck to the brush as it's being applied.
It also damaged a brand new prismacolor pen as soon as it touched the Dr Martin white product on a page (and the white was dry from the day before)

It's been several years since I used the product but I can't remember it being like that, i actually remember a totally different experience with it.

How do I know if I got a damaged product?, or Dr. Martin's bleed proof white works like that and I'm doing something wrong?

I wont be trying another Dr Martin product until i know whats going on, but was also wondering what other product can be used to cover ink (with white) to fix mistakes and make effects?.

Oh, I was looking in google about problems with this ink.
I bought one, and at first it worked fine, but then as you say, it started to get oily. After that, tiny crystals started to appear on it, and finally, it got totally "crystalized" and I had to throw it away :(

Have you bought new ink?
