stevenh Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 (edited) While spraying my sanding sealer, I got a bad fog under one part of the sealer coat. It's been several days, and the fog hasn't gone away. Will this hurt the wood?, and how can I get rid of it? I'm considering a solid color for the guitar body, so it will be hidden if I can't get rid of it. What should I do? I will post pictures very shortly.

AlGeeEater Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Have you kept it in a warm place? If your painting a solid i dont think it will matter and if it does get into the solid somehome, yo ujust have to buy blush eraser. I dont think it will hurt the wood. This is from www.reranch.com The haze is caused by "blushing". You will see it mainly on black but darker reds show it sometimes as well. It is caused by moisture in the color or clear coat. The moisture gets into the paint when the paint is sprayed during periods of high humidity. Spraying during a rain shower, during the cooler part of a moist day and spraying a very heavy coat on a warm humid day increases the chances of blushing. What to do? If you see blushing, Stop. The moisture is trapped in the very top coat of the finish. Take the body into a warm and dryer area and let it dry. Lacquer allows water to move slowly through the finish and most times the blushing will disappear as the finish dries. Blushing can also be removed through sanding. It can also be removed by spraying the finish with straight lacquer thinner. (Some finishers add a small amount of retarder to the thinner). If the moisture is trapped deeply in the finish you made need to use a product called "Blush Eraser". Blush Eraser reconstitutes the lacquer to allow the moisture to escape. Behlen makes the most popular eraser and provides it in an aerosol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 If it's a lacquer sealer, then you can either try to shoot another thin coat when it's nice and dry wherever you're shooting, or buy a can of Behlen's Blush Eraser. You've got moisture trapped in the finish, which is a sign that you shot the coat when too much moisture was present in the air, or it dried too quick. PS, it's been my experience that if I get a blush, it rarely ever dissapears if just left to sit. I read that all over the place, but it doesn't go away for me unless I do something about it.

stevenh Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Thanks for your suggestions. I let the sealer coat dry for about 3 days, and then I went back today and sprayed a thin coat of Sanding Sealer. It cleared the fog righ up.
