Humidity, steam, and cold weather can cause a topcoat to turn white (blush). Mohawk No-Blush Plus Retarder contains a special solvent blend that re-flows the lacquer finish, allowing trapped moisture to escape and helping to eliminate the hazy whiteness or cloudiness (blushing) it causes. No-Blush will not work on resistant coatings like polyurethane or conversion varnish, and it should not be used on water-based coatings, which can cause irreparable damage. No-Blush is very effective and easy to use on wood repair projects; simply shake the solvent spray can well, for approximately one minute, then spray 12 to 14 inches from the lacquer surface that needs to be repaired, being sure to apply the spray in thin coats rather than in one heavy coat for optimal results. Wait a few minutes between coats to see if blushing has been repaired before spraying another coat. WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer.

It reduced the appearance of the heat spots, but the spray left a film where it was used. Though it still looks better than it did before. I tried using Pledge furniture polish to see if that helped, but you can still the overall areas.

I used this product on three tables in our house and overall it made them worse than better. It was applied per the instructions to a large 1980s SCAN furniture dining table, a high bar table and a singer flip sewing table. The product was applied per the directions and did not work on the dining nor the high bar table and it actually left spotted marks on the tables in addition to my already existing watermarks. It did remove the watermarks on the singer sewing table but the product again left behind spotting from the product.... I'm left pretty disappointed.

I purchased this product after reading other reviews stating it worked well. I used it on my wooden table which had water marks on it. It didn’t work. I followed all the instructions and there was no change. Very disappointing!!!

It really works and I love it. It does smell strong, so ensure the place is well ventilated. But it works. I was pleasantly surprised. It got the water marks off the word and add some type of shine. Careful with the surface on which it is used. Test that it would not ruin the finish first. Love it. Just spray and wait and spray some more and wait and repeat until the water marks are gone. Love it.

I hemmed and hawed about using this product for literally years. Finally decided to try it after I left a really bad white mark on my gorgeous wood table, figuring that even a botched fix would look better than that vey white stain.Silly me. It worked amazingly perfectly. Shook the can for 2 minutes (it only says 1 but I wanted to be safe), sprayed the spots - they were a few of them in addition to that bad one - and they all disappeared within 1 minute.Took a few hours to dry out. Also took hours for the air to clear. VERY strong smell so I did it when no one else was home and I could open up all the windows and turn on a fan.Once dried, the finish was flawless. You could not tell anything had been sprayed. It was smooth, and blended in with the rest of the finish on the table. No additional step needed!My table has a pattern on it, with inlays, and this spray still worked perfectly. 100% recommend!

Worked great to eliminate cloudy areas (called blush) on table top newly refinished with Minwax semi-gloss spray lacquer.

A water mark on my dining table was ruining the look of it. I tried all the DIY tips on google then I found this. Expensive but it worked in just 2 short sprays. I wish I had taken a before pic.

I am in the process of finishing the body of a kit guitar. I bought Colortone nitrocellulose lacquer spray cans from Stewart MacDonald, (1 can of vintage white and 3 cans of clear gloss). I sprayed the vintage white and had sprayed several coats of clear without a problem. Last week, with several coats still to apply, I started spraying a little bit heavier coats as the weather got humid. After spraying a moderately heavy coat of clear, I immediately noticed streaks of discoloration on the front and back of the guitar. I've used lacquer before but had never encountered this problem. I had no idea what had caused it at the time. I figured I might as well spray another coat to see if it clears up, and if not it was time to wet sand and hope I can remove the discoloration before sanding through to the white lacquer. One more coat of gloss did not clear it up so I went online to try and determine what caused the problem and how to fix it. I learned it's a condition called blushing, where moisture from the air gets trapped in the lacquer. I read that a heat gun can sometimes be used to successfully release the moisture. No luck. In my continued search for a fix, this product kept popping up all over the place with rave reviews of the results. I ordered it immediately and put the project on hold until it arrived. I got it today and followed the instructions, simply spraying a light coat and giving it a few minutes to work. And it worked like a charm! That was it! The blushing is completely GONE after one light coat, saving me the time and hassle of wet sanding it out, assuming that was even a possibility. I do know that sanding certainly could have led to a disaster resulting in starting over from square one. This product bailed me out cheaply, easily, and 100% effectively. I couldn't be more thrilled!

This was my first experience finishing exotic hardwood (mahogany) for one of my vintage electronics restorations. I am pretty good with the electronics and mechanical restoration parts but never attempted to build from raw materials new 3/4" solid mahogany 8 1/2" x 20 1/2" side panels for my Otari Reel to reel tape deck restoration. The raw wood is gorgeous even without a finish & expensive!! so I was a bit nervous with the 10 step finishing process I selected (Wood dyes, wax free shellac, oil based woodgrain filler w/stain, more coats of shellac and finally a 2 coats of a lacquer based aerosol sanding sealer & semi-gloss spray aerosol lacquer topcoat (3 to 6 coats) - if u think u need 1 can for your project, buy 1 more - -I promise u won't regret it- BUT to my point - I was on my 2nd of 5 final coats - and the outdoor temperature dropped from 74 F to 60 F as it does this time of year - and my work started to Blush (lacquer finish starts to turn a milky white - AFTER ALL THAT WORK IS IT RUINED? I remembered watching an instructional video on how to finish fine wood with lacquer and how fussy lacquer can be to changes in humidity, temperature and even wind conditions - and how having a can of the Blush Retarder can be a miracle worker - good thing I listened and ordered a can - like magic - this product with a few light spray passes got rid of the blush in minutes by re-liquifying the already dried coats of lacquer, allowing the trapped moisture causing the whitish blush to evaporate and drastically slow the fast drying lacquer dry time from normally 5 minutes to about 15-20 minutes. As soon as I could move the panels back into the house (warm/dry) I did to complete the extended dry time which to dry thru would be all night (12 hours). The product saved me again (I am an amateur when it comes to lacquer finishes) - this time the temp & humidity were good 75 F / Chris
