Default Floetrol -- no instructions to shake before adding

Last week I added Floetrol to a pail of primer before spraying with it.
All I saw as I poured it from the jug was clear liquid.

Today as I started to pour Floetrol from the same jug into the topcoat I
saw some white streaks in it. I replaced the cap and shook it and found
that the Floetrol was now a milky color. I have read the instructions on
the jug carefully and have found no indication that it needs to be
shaken or stirred before using. I no more thought of shaking it the
first time than I would have thought of shaking mineral spirits or
lacquer thinner before adding them to the appropriate finish.

What is the possible effect of the unshaken Floetrol I added to the primer?

You need to read the label better.
Right under the orange/pink "swoosh" on the front of the container
about 2/3 way down the black text, right above the "keep from
freezing", in BOLD black print it says very clearly "shake well before
using"
