So, my mate gave me his pot of Imperial Primer, because he didn't know what it was, and I've been using it as a wash, as the pigment and liquid have been separated, so it's like a black ink, but it's very strong, has this happened to anyone else?

Yes, this is a common problem with the Imperial Primer

That's e only thing I've ever really used my imperial primer for, it's horrible as an actual primer IMO.

I've used it to pretty good effect before as a primer. Not as good as spray, and it takes a couple coats, but it came out nice and smooth. Obviously, only good for bits or a couple small models.
