Thin it out a little more. Sounds like it was to thick.

Check the opening on the hopper you may need to more up one or two holes larger. also when you do a patch repair it's always better to respray the whole ceiling, so I charge and tell the home owner the whole ceiling has to be done. cause if it looks like a patch plan on your customer complaining.
