Rep used the word blushing as a possibility. It is a milky white when it should be a clear. It is not completely consistent but it is over most of the project. I noticed some condensation in the air line.

what type of finish?

I've experienced this to be trapped solvent or moisture with shellac.

I notice you are from the Seattle area. That spells humidity, you needed to use the thinner specified for high humidity--your SW dealer should know. A dehumidifier would also be of assistance.

if you have water in the lines you need a air drier. water in the finish can/does create "blushing".
