Humidity was showing 54%. I shot clear on my flaps and elevators. Fogged up.
No retarder. Now what?

Get them into some sunshine as soon as possible. Sometimes they will clear up as they gas off. Wait for a better day and shoot another coat, maybe.
Good luck and have fun,

Nothing to worry about. The next time you have a dry day spray another coat and the blush will go away.

Try a light misting with straight thinner. Shoot with the gun about twice the normal distance from the surface. Worked good for me last year on the Olympic. Be careful, you do not want anything close to a wet coat. I actually did it with a 90% thinner - 10% retarder mix.

Allan is right on. I've shot straight thinner on clear when it's blushed. Just don't lay it on to heavily. It will clear up as the surface is penetrated and the water escapes.
