The Dullcote shouldn't have reacted with the alcohol if the paint had completely cured - PollyScale recommends a full 24 hours. As for the less-than-Dullcote, I've noticed that some batches seem less flat than others, especially if I don't use enough thinner. I use lacquer thinner, usually about 50/50 with Dullcote, and get decent results.
I've tried spraying PollyScale thinned with alcohol and swore to never again use it. Then I checked the Testors' website and saw their recommendation for using distilled water and to spray at a lower pressure. I was surprised to find how well it works and regularly use PollyScale now, with no clogging of the airbrush. However, I still prefer Floquil for its ease of clean-up.
