Get outraged about it then!
That happened to me, with a unit of night lords.
I went to the local and went balistic.
I was told that this could happen, as it was a fault in the manufacturing process, that the entire spray can was propellant and no varnish (or some such missmatch).
About 1 in 1000 chance.
I got a new can of varnish (it was fine) and a new box of night lords.
Afterwards, I applied a few wash coats (a bit difficult at first, the surface didn't take to it well), but eventually, they came round and I can use them.
Good luck.
