Can someone tell me what the consistency is supposed to be - and what it should look and feel like before application?

The consistency is like glycerin-oil, real slippery, and absorbs quickly, it feels fabulous! A tiny amount goes a long way and should be used with the matching cream which also should be used sparingly.

Should be in a powder form. Try manually breaking it down before adding to solution.

It should not feel gritty at all. I'm guessing you must have a bad batch (never happened to me before). Contact the seller right away!!

I don't know what "they" mean by consistency of product.... but I have had no problem with what I would consider the consistency...i.e. my feeling is whether the product is the same texture and same amount of water content.... (runny or more solid)

I'd be careful. I know nothing about "testing," but I ordered it and took it for awhile. I stopped because it seemed to be making me jittery. Caveat emptor.

Your question needs to be more specific. What is your application. Right after you mix it, it's a thick liquid. After about 5 minutes it starts to set up. By 10 minutes, it will hold it's shape relatively, but is still very tacky. You need to use gravity in your favor. I leave it dry overnight before attempting to sand or scrape it.

It's stored right now, although I plan to get it out next week. I remember it being nice and smooth, but not too certain. I'll try to pull it out tomorrow to see and will correct this if it's not suitable.

not sure, maybe try with the primer, should stick but not sure how smooth it will look, has to be smooth as glass or any imperfection will show up

Hasn't been a problem for me. Make sure your screen is spotless before applying though.

This is the case for this one also... It has the feeling of a gluestick under the eye where it is applied, but eventually maybe an hour or two, it'll be smooth as in no more sticky feeling...

I never had a problem with the product. Never experienced what you describe. Make sure you are following the directions. Don't leave out any steps.

It has the same consistency as a lotion. However I dont know how it will affect how effective product is.

I've put a bunch of varying amounts on a lot of different papers and have found that you need to apply what sometimes feels like a decent amount (especially for heavier papers) to ensure you have enough (too little can be bad if mailing letters etc) so that sometimes the paper will look wet if you're using a lot or a thin/light-weight paper, but every time all papers I've used have dried perfectly smoothly and cleanly.

I'm sure if you mixed enough you would see the result. You may want to test it first on a small batch to see if the color would remain consistent once dry. This stuff does dry much darker than originally, so be prepared for that.It's cheap enough, I would say give it a try. But don't be too disappointed if it wouldn't match just right, as the previous comment noted.
