Old Fashioned Milk Paint. The deep rich colors of Milk Paint authentically reflect those colors found on existing antique furniture and buildings. This milk paint is made in the same manner as was used back in the days that excess milk was used up making paint.
Polyurethane cloudy

Reply: Hi Kim The humidity could be the problem. The age of the polyurethane could be another problem. If the inside of the can is white it's probably lined with epoxy and over time the polyurethane will react with the epoxy causing problems.

If you used a water base stain and it wasn't completely dry it could also be the problem. Just my personal opinion, polyurethane is a problem.
You might try testing the polyurethane on a piece of scrap wood. Just sand the wood and clean it with a tack rag, then brush on some polyurethane. If it dries clear then you know it's reacting with something else on the table, possibly the stain. You might try a sanding sealer. Be sure that the sanding sealer is compatible with the type of polyurethane you're using.
If the test dries cloudy it's a good chance the humidity is the culprit. Polyurethane generally takes long enough to dry that it can absorb lots of moisture from the air. You might try another test and use a blow dryer or heat gun to coax the polyurethane to dry a little quicker. The dry electric heat will help to lower the humidity around your work too. Don't get the heat too close to the work though or it'll bubble it.
You might try Deft Brushing Lacquer. It takes lots of ventilation, because it's stinky as the dickens, so it could be a problem controlling humidity using cross ventilation. Deft will dry in just a few minutes and by using the extra heat it'll dry almost instantly so will have less time to absorb humidity.
