I leave enough in to just cover the pigment now. Stir it up good each time before using it. Works just fine this way for me and they don't tend to dry out like when I used to pour as much of the solvent off as I could. I always stirred it up anyway, because I couldn't quite get all of the solvent off anyway. If the level of solvent doesn't cover the pigment the next time I use the color, I add a dab of it (they sell a bottle with just the solvent in it, too).
