Correct Thickness for REDGARD application

A follow up to the REDGUARD FAIL! What did we do wrong? video. Click this link to see that video: REDGARD FAIL!  What did we do WRONG??
Thank you for all your comments on that video, which led me to believe that when we held the 3/16"x1/4" v-notch trowel at a 45 degree angle, it applied too much of the membrane.  
To make sure, I measured exactly the amount of REDGARD we needed to achieve the 80 sq.ft. per gallon rate that is recommended.  
I found out that between a 15 and 20 degree angle on the trowel is needed to accomplish the correct rate of Redgard application.
Much flatter than the 45 degrees that is included on the instructions of the tub.  
Anyways, I was really happy with the results, the first coat was dry in 7 hrs, and the second coat dried overnight.  
The finished surface dried in 24 hrs: clean, sound, and at a thickness of about 22-24 mils.
Thank you again for all of your comments, it helps us all get better at what we do.
