When mixing the asphaltum what is the texture of it? Is it gritty or creamy or like a peanut butter? When it dries is it like a firm wax or????

It goes on like a creamy tar and dries hard like an enamel paint. thanks for starting this thread...it has uncovered some other helpful input....and thanks for all who have posted
