How or what can I do to stop this...?? I'm using Woodies own brand ceiling paint. Not Sure what the old paint was as it was…

I'm using Woodies own brand ceiling paint. Not Sure what the old paint was as it was painted when I moved in. The ceilings are flat.

Any help appreciated, need to get this job done by the weekend.

You've just invented crackle glaze

You've probably put a gloss paint over an emulsion, or rather an oil based paint over a water base.
