Way too much paint. You want the powder to be fluffy. I roll the container, lid on of course, and this gets me started. Then I can paint some, then I stir the paint with a stick to get it fluffy again. It will pack down hard due to the vibrations of dipping. Keep trying different ways until you get better results.
You are almost there……
