Wasted $400 on a self-leveling compound that was a complete lie

Bought this expensive self-leveling compound for a basement floor in Denver. Label said it flows out flat on its own. I mixed it exactly to spec, poured it, and it looked like a moonscape. Troweled, re-poured, still lumpy. Called the company and they said I needed to use their $80 special primer first. Did that on attempt three. Still garbage. Had to grind it all off and do it with traditional mud. Anyone else run into a product that was way oversold?

Wait, Denver's at altitude so self-levelers act totally different up there.

$400 and still had to grind it off, brutal.
