Wasted $80 on a 'self-leveling' compound that was anything but

I grabbed this fancy self-leveling compound from a big box store near Portland last month because it promised no mixing. Figured I'd save time on a 300 sq ft basement floor. Well, it clumped up and left these weird divots everywhere, so I had to chip it all out and start over with the regular stuff. Anyone else get burned by a product that supposedly does the work for you?

@ray562 did you use the actual primer or just wing it with something else?

Yeah I had to chip out the same stuff last year. Use a primer first.

Used to skip the primer but that was a mistake.
