Stirring non drip paint

[DavidWP]

I've recently used non drip paint (Crown Colourizer), when applied as suggested on the tin - liberally load brush and don't over brush - although it does not drip I get sags in the finish.
If I stir the paint I get a consistency not far off normal drippy paint which brushes out much better and gives a better finish.
Is there anything wrong with this approach?
It takes three days to dry in an unheated house but I can live with that.

...Dont buy/use non-drip

Thanks for replying.
Maybe I didn't word my query clearly enough.javascript:emoticon('')
If I brush out the non drip paint to spread it evenly it turns thin any way, therefore I was wondering if there is any very good reason why I can't stir it to begin with and make the job easier. The only drawback seems to be a longer drying time.

On (the very few) times Ive had to use it Ive always given it a good stir, I cant see how it can do any good to leave it un-stirred - way too stodgy!

the movement of the brush temporarily softens it

DavidWP:
The problem here is the cold.
Gloss doesn't like cold, be it non-drip or liquid. When you stir non-drip it makes it thinner, thereby easier to apply in a cold environment.
If it was warmer or hot, the paint would be naturally thinner, making it easy to apply.

When its cold try standing the paint in a bucket of warm, (not hot), water for about ½hour. If it starts to thicken up after a while repeat. Make sure you remove any 'oil' pools on top of the paint when you first open the tin.
