Cut them in half @3X2. You can't beat the price and you get 2 sets. My 1st set @ 6 months and over 200 pens/projects is still vialable.
2nd, 6 months is getting to the end of the end of the shelf life. Thin is supposed to be THIN. If it seems to be thickening up , use it to glue in your tubes

Like DavidPX said it could be moisture in the blank itself.
My method is 5 coats thin, 5 medium, 2 thick. 2-3 drops on each blank while turning low speed. Use an un-textured paper towel product. You always sand just below the bushings...careful there... and build up to them. I normally dry sand woods from 220 - 1000. Stopping at 600 is....ok.
WET SAND from 320-1000 then MM the rest to 12k. I use the PlastX also. Great stuff.
EDIT: info@tmiproducts.net They are the manufacturers and reply very quickly.
As mentioned by another modeler you can use polishing pads.
Micro Mesh are good. These pads are also useful, I use them wet and in order. I also cut them into smaller pieces to make polishing easier.
As for a polishing compound, I found this one to be good. It also works well on the lenses of modern 1:1 size cars if you need them to be as bright as new. ;^)
