Hi Robert, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced with our paint. Typically, our Ultra Paint will have an even creamy consistency and will cover 250-400 sq. ft. per gallon. To extend the working time of the paint and help thin the product, you can add up to 4oz. of water per gallon. If any texture has been left on the surface, I recommend allowing the surface to dry for 24 hours before sanding the surface smooth using 180-240 grit sandpaper and touching up the spots. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Lina
