I get the air bubbles right after I roll it out but they always pop & self
level after 30-60 secs
if you are getting the air bubbles & they dont pop/self level AND you get
the orange peel look after it dries
you are way toooooooo thick make sure you are using mineral spirits to thin
& you want the consistency
to be between milk & water
