The times I have had CA finishes cloud on me it has been because of moisture (mineral spirits not completely evaporated, etc.)

That is why I use lacquer thinner instead of mineral spirits to clean my blanks between sanding...

That has happened to me before, and I think it came from moisture. Either in the blank itself, or from something added to it. BB also told me any topcoat wax finishes that have carnuba in them will cloud from the moisture of your hand. I know that is not the case here, just throwing that out.

Most of the time cloud spots are from moisture. Lacquer thinner between coats will all but eliminate this problem.
