hmmm.... interesting. I have not had this problem and I am not discrediting you in any way. I'll have to watch for this in the future when I use it. Curious... how many coats do you apply? If so, use the semi gloss then and if you want a dull look....buff it slightly with some steel wool or scotch brite cloth and dull it down. I know the semi gloss and the high gloss hold up very well unless exposed to extreme heat. However, Deft has gone to heck on me a lot more often in climate changes and heat then Krylon. I think the Krylon is a more superior product. I wont mention names but a lot fo the big name call makers use the krylon on their box calls. Just my 2 cents.
