Whoa, big mistake! Paul Owen is right, your supposed to mix the stuff in small quantities. It just happens I just finished spraying a dull coat on my current project. I use Future floor wax and add small amounts of the Tamiya Flat to it, I spray on a test sheet of plastic with a dark color already painted on it. I then add more flat to the bottle till I get the desired look. Then you spray it on the model your working on. Try using the windex or windshiel washing fluid to try to save your project. If that doesn't work, then you will have to hit harder and start all over again with your paint job.

Never, ever spray anything onto your project with out testing it first on a test piece or old model that you no longer care about. But look at this way, you'll never make this mistake again!

Good Luck,
Robert
