systems 3 mirror coat questions

I've been using systems 3 mirror coat for a while without any problems.

Last night I was finally ready to do a batch, and as I was putting it on it seemed like the epoxy did not want to cover the plug. I would brush it on so the whole plug was covered, and then 10 minutes later you could see little bare spots where it looked like the epoxy pulled back and left little holes. I'd go over it again, come back, same thing, more little uncovered holes.

I was doing this over the same scratch coat (hemsmans clear spar varnish) I used all winter and never had this happen before. I did 4 plugs, it happened on all 4. I finally ended up just wiping it off and hanging them up to dry and I'll go back and put e-tex on them tonight.

I'm not sure if this is related or not, but when I looked at the resin it is now cloudy, it used to be clear. Anybody have anything similar happen ??? Can epoxy resin go bad ??
