It can change clarity with how hot you mix it, and what you stir it with. DO NOT use metal, I don't even like using wood unless it won't be seen. I'll post the link of a good place when I can find it.

Use prepreg man! Don't mess with wet layup it sucks anmd honestly prepreg isn't much more expensive when you consider the hassle and the cost of Epoxy. Also the release agent you are using may be responsible for the haze.
