I believe you have experienced the poor results of a self levelling seam sealer I tried to warn you about. It's the technology of the sealer itself not being easy to use and does nothing that a simple seam sealer would do with far less mess, permanent mistakes and money spent.

I hate to say I told you so but...

I have yet to find a seam sealer that wasn’t a sticky gooey mess if you had to smooth it out

I’m happy with how the sealer went in and it’s looks overall. It seems to be a lot more tough than regular seam sealers. The next time I use it I expect it would be a perfect job.
