Don't mix Eboni with the old FS black.  Eboni is very sensitive to all sorts
of things, including dyes.  All the old blacks had small amounts of dye in
them to get an acceptable dmax.

So, if the new FS K is Eboni (and I think it is), I would not mix it into
the old FS K bottle.

(By the way, I still have some of the old FS/VM K, including and un-opened
pint bottle, if someone wants some.)
