It's very important to give time for the vapors and thinning agents to release inbetween coats otherwise well this happens. You end up with a crust shell and sponge underneath it. Part of what Pabs said is correct aswell when your finish is too thick. When you polish it does heat the clear which is why a two stage polish works well. You must however on wood not over polish as the clear will not stick to tree as it would steel. I use ntro nowdays due too how thin you can get it to spray.

Oo Goodie, all this has given me some hope of resurrecting the finish on the GR1-SF which I have used Minwax on. So I'll go over all the above comments and see if I can cut it back and get the orange peel and graining out of it.
BTW Stan I really do have a lot of acrylic left. maybe on the next one.

@Jrod... You might find me lurking in the warehouse... Been guilty of using Ni Ni myself of late.
Unavoidable when doing resto jobs on classic Guitars....
@Stan.. You can never sand too much... That is unless you sand it down to toothpick thickness...
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
DB can I have a corner in the naughty room to send people who mess up paint jobs. I promise to keep it clean and patrons well punished.
Nice.
I will make sure that area is well stocked with sandpaper, Jrod
