Hi,
Make sure you blow and tack it off very good.
Then use a lower pressure on your gun with the fan wide open and the fluid possibly about 1/2
Hold the gun about 6-8" off the surface
Make some very nice smooth strokes from off the surface from one end to the other. Make sure you go parallel, not a swooping pattern.
A medium wet coat will do. Not dry. Not too wet. if anything a little wetter than dryer.This will make the next couple of coats easier to lay
Then go back the other way about 50% overlap. Keep going laps until you go off the surface.
Make sure you go ALL the way off end to end, and side to side. In other words get complete coverage.
Let the clear tack up until it makes a clicking noise with your finger when you touch it.
If it's stringy, it's not ready for the next coat.
Do the same as above with the next coat. you can go slightly heavier now since the clear has something to cling to.
Let it sit, do the click test, then do the next coat.
That should do it.
Hope the helps
By the way, I used to have a beautiful Addams family and Road Show pins for personal use.
