yeah I figured it out a little while ago. It was the mixing up of the bottles. I emptied my mix out of each and rinsed the bottles well, then made up a new batch of 2 part. When I mixed them up incorrectly, I remember thinking "how come everything's not dissolving as nicely as last time?" lol. It was precipitating in the bottle
