Default Help identfy color - this one might be hard!

Hello!
I have a rod of black. Unlabeled...of course!
It is much drippier than Effetre black when it melts. Not stiff at all, it just melts into a drippy mess.
It also takes over when I put anything over it. Like, if I want to encase it, forget it, it starts seeping around the edges and finds a way to bleed and web all over. I'm thinking Hades, but I thought I had labeled all my Hades. I for sure know I labeled my IB, so that is not it.
It also tends to have a sheen kind of like metallic black. You know, how the tip of the rod can look dusky grayish, even rainbow-ish after melting? But does metallic black bleed and web like that?
Anyway, thanks for your help!
Patti

Did you ever have any CiM Gunmetal? That could be what it is.
