You want to be able to take a 2' piece of masking paper hung in the middle of the room and watch it barely move. Not flutter and blow all over the place. Your moving an even volume of air at that point that still removes the overspray in the same manner. Also get rid of the furnace filters and use a regular tacky booth filter.

How does an activator work?
Cures three ways, extreme pressure, or moisture and air.
How do you get moisture into an activator with the amount of tin in a clear, primer or SS, the more tin, the faster it will cure. (called jell time)
Humidity is most likely the most calls, I get as far as when we figure out what the problem was caused by. (2 calls on this today)
With humidity, the problem starts with the base coat and wrong range of reducer.
(1 call on this today)
Second call would be temperature.
(3 calls on this today), last on 98 degrees and using a medium activator for 3/4 of a car, yea, it turned white in spots and streak's.
What some excitement? Pick a 90%+ humid day, wet the floor real good and use a 1.3 tip gun on the clear. Next day you may not buff out 2000 grit scratches, I get that call once a month in the summer.

For air control if spraying clear I raise the two car garage door about 1 inch off the floor and then the fan draws a lot of air, if shooting base I will raise the door about 6" off the floor and it draws less air.
Primers I just leave the door wide open. Seems to work fine for me.

Are you saying the clear will be to hard?
(is that even possible with Universal?)

I thought about making the entire portion under the bench a filter wall. Do you think it would help?
