failed to mention, it looks like little white fluffy particles like eggdrop soup or some crap like that.
Is it satin or semi-gloss lacquer? If so, that's probably the de-glossing goop that needs to be fully mixed in before use. If it's straight gloss then I don't know what you're dealing with, but it ain't right.
Could be coagulated matting compound. I have seen this before. Usually silica. That can be mixed back with no problem. Watch out that you don't suspend a zillion micro-airbubbles during the mixing. As se=F1or Turner pointed out, if it is supposed to be high-gloss, then I dunno either.
I have some (just bought) lacquer hi build sanding sealer. Looks the same way until stirred up. Works fine. WW
straight gloss. Minwax brand
Well it is high gloss minwax brand. I stirred and stirred, but to no avail. My older cans were not like this, but they were cold, so i went ahead and used it. Seems ok. It's a mystery i guess.
I've never seen anything like that in a can of gloss lacquer before, but I always use Deft brand. Did you try running it through a strainer?

I agree with the other posts.
I would add that I always strain any finish going into a spray gun. If mixing does not make it go away, the straining will get it out.
It could be that a thin skim developed on the surface. Sometimes the stuff sits or a while or is stored where it is too hot or cold, as it makes it's way from the point of manufacture to your hands.
nope, i didn't. guess i'll have to start opening them in the store and looking at them.
