Is it satin or semi-gloss lacquer? If so, that's probably the de-glossing goop
that needs to be fully mixed in before use. If it's straight gloss then I
don't know what you're dealing with, but it ain't right.

Could be coagulated matting compound. I have seen this before. Usually
silica. That can be mixed back with no problem. Watch out that you
don't suspend a zillion micro-airbubbles during the mixing.
As señor Turner pointed out, if it is supposed to be high-gloss, then
I dunno either.

Well it is high gloss minwax brand. I stirred and stirred, but to no
avail. My older cans were not like this, but they were cold, so i went
ahead and used it. Seems ok. It's a mystery i guess.

I've never seen anything like that in a can of gloss lacquer before, but I
always use Deft brand. Did you try running it through a strainer?

I agree with the other posts.

I would add that I always strain any finish going into a spray gun. If
mixing does not make it go away, the straining will get it out.

It could be that a thin skim developed on the surface. Sometimes the stuff
sits or a while or is stored where it is too hot or cold, as it makes it's
way from the point of manufacture to your hands.

My guess as well. To emphasize your point - always strain. Always...
