Sounds like for some reason your gloss was drying too fast or possible too much air pressure, not sure what to do, maybe if Cecil reads this he can answer it.

2 things you can try which may or may not work is to try a 8 to 1 mixture which should take a little longer to dry or maybe try using a little less air pressure, if you got something old to try it on it would be worth a try.

Not sure what to tell you on that. Typically when something turns white on you it's due to moisture. And most likely that is the case because it dried so fast any moisture there was, was not allowed to get out. This is what causes paints to "blush."
Are you sure you mixed your ratio right? Have you drained your compressor lately? Was it a humid day? But at the risk of sounding like I have some kind of vendetta against Wasco here goes:
1.) I used that product from Wasco once and only once. Had other problems with it. I threw it out. My guess was it sat on the shelf too long. Most likely that is a product that they don't sell in high volume and it may have past its shelf life. I'm also not confident in the quality control of the paints we get from our taxidermy suppliers.
2.) Do yourself a favor and buy an automotive clear coat from an automotive supplier that is 4.:1. You can buy it by the quarts if you don't need a gallon. Not only will you be most likely buying the same product (Dan Rinehart's gloss coat is actually an automotive gloss coat), and you won't have the shipping and hazardous fees. Most likely you can be assured it has not past it's shelf life as the last thing the automotive suppliers need is a guy going to all the trouble of painting a car and he has to start all over due to a bad gloss coat.
That said, if you do use this product please, please, use an exhaust fan and wear a respirator. If you don't have an exhaust fan you may want to try the Krylon Triple Thick gloss coat in a can.

I redid the fish its not as nice as the first time around once you strip them there not the same quality but i used Kylon on it and I archived the gloss I wanted I wonder if there was water in the line I used a extension hose so I could spray it out side there was a lot of water in the moisture trap.

Yeah they are never the same when you redo them.
