A stupid question maybe.  Are you using oil based poly?  If you have water 
based poly, the mineral spirits won't mix because there is some oil in the 
spirits.  

Probably not the problem, just the first thing that comes to mind.

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] My mistake has turned into a puzzle


    
  Yesterday I told you about my mistake in using the gunk at the bottom of the
  polyurethane can.

  Now I have started a fresh can, stirred well.

  The first coat went on beautifully.

  The second coat is showing signs of the milky streaking again.

  I thin the poly with some mineral spirits, and wipe it on with a clean
  cloth.

  I've made sure to do it in a warm dry place, working the poly as little as
  possible to get it spread.

  Does anyone have any guesses as to why I am getting milky streaks in the
  finish?

  Blessings,

  Tom
