What's wrong with my touch ups?

Hey guys! Got a problem here

For some reason I've been having lots of trouble with my touch ups after my final sanding. I mix my mud with professional tint from the supplier. The problem is that when I sand the touch ups, my sponge doesn't sand the tinted mud but it sands the skim coat around it... leaving a bigger touch up...

I was working with another taper who was using the same tint and he had no problem. So it's not the tint. I've tried using thin and thick mub but it makes no difference. I've also tried using less tint but I still got this problem :S

Anybody knows what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks!
Never touched up nothing in all my taping days!!:blink:
