    You can use TEA but you will need more than the AMP. Put enough to get the required ph.

    Try changing the binder as recommended. Any light oil such dimethicone, isopropyl isostearate, etc. would do. The trick is to balance the pressing pressure with the level of binder. Try 5% binder then keep adjusting the pressure.

    Actually, the product has been developed and is on the market. The shortage of isododecane has forced me to seek an alternative in the event I cannot get supplies on time. I have tested a few alternatives but they do not give me the drying time I need.

    Isodecane is solvent to dissolve the colorants and leave a matte finish. Mineral oil is too oily as is cyclomethicone and other silicones I have tried.
