Default Kilz Primer Quality Degradation?

Well there are two different "quality" tiers to kilz primer, maybe
they are marketing the good old stuff as "kilz premium" and thinning
it out for the non-premium so you can save five bucks a gallon.

I just picked up a can of the premium for twenty bucks, which is
about what I would expect to pay for a gallon of the stuff; the other
formulation seemed too low in price.

I'm slathering some on today (fascia boards getting prepped for vinyl
gutters) which was mixed at HD a few days ago, so I'll report back if
I have any issues with it.


So I did my painting today, slathered on too thick of a coat with a cheap
$0.89 four inch brush from Horrible Freight.

The results were no drips and no runs, and after it quickly dried, I can see
no brush marks.

The quality was as I remember it to be (before they called it "premium"),
and after sitting for three days it did not need remixing.

My guess is that you either got a bad batch, or the "non premium" variety is
utter crap, or a combination thereof.
