Working with some waterbased paint today was a nightmare. It pretty much dried as soon as it touched the brush.

If you are using a quality paint and have a non-air entraining mixing blade and a slow speed drill, (350-500rpm), you can normally add upto 10% additional water to make a 'primer'.
Were you painting a particularly dry substrate?

It was already painted with a couple of coats of undercoat and a top coat, but I was adding a second top coat. I think it was just that little bit too warm and dry in the house.. did the other side of the door this evening and it was alright.
