Tried to level my basement floor with self leveler and ended up with a wave

I was in my basement last weekend pouring self leveling concrete over a low spot near the drain. The stuff started setting way faster than the bag said, and before I could work it out it hardened into a 2 inch ridge. Has anyone else had self leveler go bad on them mid pour or did I just mess up the mix ratio?

Used to think premix was foolproof but that stuff humbled me real quick.

Troyc17, I've heard people say premix can be tricky but is it really that serious? Seems like the ratio is usually right on the bottle if you follow the directions. Maybe the issue is more about what's in the mix than the mixing itself.

Nah, mixing ratio matters way more than people admit.
