Mohawk Finishing ProductsNo-Blush Plus Retarder, Solvent Sprayer Can ‎M103-0475, 13 Oz

I sprayed a coat of this product on a table that had heat damage.My wife decided to iron a piece of clothing on the dining room table, and it resulted in a large heat stain.After a single coat of this product, the stain started to disappear!I would definitely recommend spraying at least 12 inches or more to get an even coat.I also sprayed other areas on the table that had minor heat stains, and they were also removed.Note, if you have texture on your table, it seems ok to use a small brush to even out the product.I would not use a brush on a table that has a very smooth surface.

This product impressed enough to deserve a review.I had water spots on the side of a hardwood stained cabinet caused by steam from a coffee maker.Within about two seconds of a very light spray, the water marks disappeared. I feathered the spray with an old paint brush and was done.Note: there is a very strong smell but it goes away in abount an hour.

I had problem with lacquer "blushing" on some small woodworking projects I had done. Sprayed them with this product and it cleared immediately. I was super impressed. Would highly recommend quality product like this.

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.

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.

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 / <50% RH outside BUT there were some wind gusts and a steady 10-15 mph wind off and on.. I had my panels hanging off a metal wire 10' in air so I can access all sides - sprayed about 8 - 10" from wood - this time I got like a sandy surface texture - like I sprayed the wood with a fine grit sand/dust & a matte-like finish instead of semi-gloss. Research indicated that my lacquer dried before it made full contact with the surface - WHAT?? - Again I thought that was the end - RUINED - would have to remove finish and start over - NOPE - This product saved the day AGAIN - even though I let the panels sit overnight in this condition - thinking I would have to sand them down - I took a chance and again - sprayed the Blush retarder (BTW this was my 5th and final coat of lacquer!!) over the entire work and VIOLA - it again liquified even the sandy dried bits of lacquer, caused it to flow over the surfaces of the panels - took almost an hour to dry (moved immediately indoors away from wind) to the touch and surface was now at the correct sheen for gloss finish (ran out of semi-gloss - had to switch to gloss - remember I said buy 2x the lacquer in spray can that u think u may need? this is why - The dry time was longer than before - didn't touch wood for 36 hours to be sure it was at least "surface dry". It looked perfect - now final steps - rub out very lightly with very fine grit wet/dry emery cloth or scotch bright synthetic wool & water mixed with few drops dish soap liquid for lubrication to knock down and uneven lacquer bits, mirror smooth finish, then dry with clean cotton cloth and use very fine steel wool coated with furniture grade paste wax rubbed into wood with the grain - let haze over 10-15 minutes & buff with very clean cotton rag or lambs wool buffing pad on electric buffing handheld - IF U KNOW HOW TO USE WITHOUT BURNING THRU WOOD FINISH - otherwise hand buffing is ALWAYS safer. I must say that without Mohawk's "No Blush plus Retarder" - this project would have been ruined and I would have stripped finish that took me 2 weeks to apply to start over.. this product is a miracle and a MUST HAVE if u r working with lacquer whether u have experience (they already have something like this in their shop) or especially if u r new to using beautiful, simple but very "environment Sensitive" Lacquer... Easier and richer than poly or ureathane or varnish - but also very temperamental finish - this stuff corrects over spray, blushing, pre-drying, finish marks, dings, scratches - virtually anything wrong in the lacquer finish can be corrected by reflowing the lacquer whether it is hours old or years old - this stuff works... simple to use - just shake, point and spray as u would the spray lacquerChris

Did not fix my issue but it was a gamble when I bought it , I had an antique issue that was there fo 40 years so product is ok but didn't work for me.

Worked as advertised. Removed white moisture stain from a night stand.
