Thank you for responses.
I have just ordered a rattle can of Testors Dull Coat to experiment with.
Cheers

Nothing helpful to add but a short story. Years ago I has spent many days building, detailing, painting and weathering to perfection an HO scale Shay geared logging locomotive kit. When totally satisfied with my work I grabbed for a can of Testor's Dulcoat and gave a sweeping spray all along the "business" side of the model. Unfortunately I had grabbed a can of gray primer. My reaction is unsuitable for posting here.

That must have been heartbreaking..............

Ive only ever use the Tamiya clear coat once, and it went milky same as yours.
I am blessed to live in a nominally warm climate, so any model is going to be a fairly good temp.
But, if I really need to get paint or matt seal onto one in an odd part of the season, I hit it with a hair dryer for a while to get the whole lot warm & remove any hidden moisture(youve all seen steel when its heated with a gas torch produce water) and the results are consistently good.
