Could be the stuff's past its prime, but more likely what you mention -
Louisiana humidity. I don't use poly at greater than 70 % if I can help it.
Collects too much and takes up space I need otherwise.
Only thing to suggest is raising the heat to effectively lower the humidity.
Tent and warm.

I would wipe it down with mineral sprits and then allow it to dry.
After that, I would dry an area, construct a temporary paint booth and
remove moisture with A/C or other method.
You should apply polys under 50% humidity levels.

Might pick up more stuff out there. Depends on how dry the varnish is.
How much hotter is it under the 'port?
I don't have a/c - not needed up here, but moving it into an a/c area would
make for lower humidity, too.

Would moving it outside to my carport help?
