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.

We bought some quick dry Satinwood rather than the normal stuff and it is a very different beast. Same issue, that it gets sticky very quickly and then becomes streaky.
I was painting a bay window with it today and it was a pain - on the flat bits I had to use a foam roller to smooth out the brush marks.

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?
