Hi bjhaines, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear the paint was drying too fast, making it hard to work with. I assure you this is not the experience we want for our customers. A helpful tip when the paint is drying too fast is to add up to 4 ounces of water per gallon container to extend the working time. To fix the areas that dried with texture, let the coating dry for 24 hours, gently sand the surface smooth, clean off any residue, and touch up or recoat. Customer satisfaction is important to us. If you need further assistance, please reach out to us directly. We are happy to help! -Alex
