Hi Mike25, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the paint was drying too fast. This is not normal, and I understand your disappointment. You have the option of adding 4 oz. of water per gallon to slow down the dry time if you continue to experience this issue. 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 you! -Giovanna
