Hi Blair
This might be a little late but, as I used to be involved in the manufacture of this product, the quick and easy fix is to up the amount of thinners - BUT, you might need another coat to retain the desired thickness.
The condition I know of as Milking or Blooming - it is trapped humidity. This is why "wet-back" spray booths are a really bad idea - great for solvent filtration, but troublesome for the finish.
You really should control your humidity to around 60%RH - too low causes ESD issues. A de-humidifier won't cost much and makes life easier. Moisture traps in the air line are essential.
You might like to download a copy of our Facts & Data Book on Conformal Coating from:

I hope this helps
