Temperature could definitely be a factor here as well as moisture. My woodwork guru told me once that my room was too cold for my shellac as I had the window open on a cold day for ventilation, and that it should be applied in a comfortable room temperature.
On another occasion I got a slightly milky finish from my shellac and I put it down to my jam jar having some moisture in it when I mixed the flakes in it. But your sealer was pre-mixed so I am not sure if the same reason would apply to you?
