I have mixed selaants before. Stans race sealant is a faff to add as you can't inject it. you can just about drain i into the tyre through the valves but it still clogs. Caffe latex is much better you can inject it. I use a cheap ebay syringe bought loads. little need for fancy inhjectors. Milkit valves though are nice but expensive at least with those you can draw up the sealant into the syringe to see how little you have left.

I've got 'normal' Stans in my tyres, and sealing hasn't been as great as I had hoped. For example, in my opinion (albeit subjective), the puncture in my front tyre should have sealed rather than required a worm. However, I have since bought some of the 'race' variety of Stans having heard that it is better for road tyres (although tried it out yet).
It sounds like you use a syringe to add the sealant? I'm guessing it's the Caffelatex one? If so, do you know if it would be compatible with Stan's race sealant? The reason I ask is that I ordered a Stan's syringe only to find that it wasn't compatible with their race sealant so I had to return it. So I'm looking for a different one.
