Mohawk No-Blush Plus Retarder 13 oz Sprayer Can – Reflow Lacquer & Remove Blush

Overview

Humidity, steam, and cold air can push a lacquer surface toward a cloudy blush. Mohawk No-Blush Plus Retarder is a solvent-based spray designed to reflow the finish, giving trapped moisture a path to escape and reducing the hazy appearance on wood surfaces.

What it does for your project

• Reflows the lacquer finish to release trapped moisture
• Targets common blushing on wood furniture, kitchen cabinets, hardwood floors, molding, and door trim
• Helps address cup rings and water rings on repair work
• Simple application: shake well, spray from 12 to 14 inches away, and apply in thin coats
• Best results in well-ventilated areas to support safe use

How to use for best results

1) Shake the can thoroughly for about a minute. 2) Hold 12–14 inches from the lacquer surface and apply light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. 3) Allow a few minutes between coats to evaluate progress. If blushing remains, apply a thin additional coat as needed.

What to consider before using

• Not recommended for polyurethane or conversion varnish coatings
• Do not use on water-based coatings, which can be damaged
• Prop 65 warning: contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer; review Prop 65 details for more information

Real-life scenarios

Imagine light clouding on a dining table or a kitchen cabinet edge after exposure to humid air. A careful No-Blush Plus Retarder pass can help the finish breathe and regain clarity without a full refinishing job.
