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.

Since I bought and took notice of multiple purchases, of which two were a
time span of 6 wks apart, I'd say the regular Kilz2 is now crap. They've
basically jacked the price of a gallon of the old Kilz2 up about 7 bucks
and justified that by calling it Premium.
