drippy dulux paint

hi

I've used dulux paint for years with no problem at all....however I bought a tin of dulux white cotton matt yesterday from B&Q...I started to use it today on my daughters bedroom wall and its really drippy, not too far away from a diluted wash!...well that may be a slight exaggeration but it is definately not how it usually is

any ideas whats gone wrong...bad batch maybe?

cheers

    if your sure you have stirred it properly and its still like that, then take it back.
    make sure you get another batch number.
    Get some gorm.

    Dulux Emulsion is thicker if bought at Dulux only outlets and covers better, but it is normally more expensive. Having said that, it should not be like a wash, so I would take it back to the DIY shop and ask for your money back, if you take your receipt there should not be a problem.
