Cloudy nitro in the can. Is it bad?

I have 1/4 can of behlen instrument lacquer. Bought this year.
It is cloudy in the can. I poured in some thinner and stirred it, but still cloudy.
I sprayed a couple of coats before realizing I am a dummy.
I had the lacquer peel off of a neck, perhaps this lacquer is the culprit.
I figure I’ll wait a day, sand it down and use some Watco Iacquer I have.

Does this stuff go bad? Stored in a normal environment.

I spoke with a Mohawk dude.
He said if cloudy, it’s contaminated and should be discarded.
