I've been using Kilz for years but I've noticed something. The timing seems to be around the first of the year...during the financial crisis...when everybody and their mother's uncle was jacking up prices, cutting product sizes and whatever else to make up for people cutting back on spending. Bastards took the King Size Snicker bar, split it into two pieces and the overall net weight was smaller.
Bought a gal back some. Had it shaken on the machine. Two days later I opened it to use. Top was damn water. That NEVER happened before. I brought the shit back. Got another can. Had it shaken and used right afterwards. The shit dripped from the brush and surface. That NEVER happened before. It used to be really thick. I've bought a couple of cans at various times since. Same thing.
Someone posted something about Kilz once that it was loaded with solids. I bought that statement because after putting it on something it pretty much had a light roughness. If I wanted a smooth topcoat I would run a sanding sponge over it quickly. Seems now that may not be the case. So to me it seems they jacked up the price and severely cut the quality.
Just my perception, Red...
