Thank you for this (and your previous) video. I finally plucked up the courage to use the iron method on a 3inch watermark on my burr oak dining table and it worked! Honestly can’t see where the mark was. It’s like magic! Good to know that there’s no point trying the “home remedies” and that the Blush Eraser is available if the iron method ever fails. Thank you.
Thanks for posting. I have a coffee table that I had refinished but found out after I brought it back home that when it was catching the sunlight it was developing these light marks across the table top. I will try the iron or mohawk to see if that helps remove them, but wondering - will this keep happening as long as the table is in a sunny room? And if so, is there anything I can do to 'seal' the table top? Thanks again - super helpful and hopefully saving me a lot of trial and error with miscellaneous methods.
You can also use straight lacquer thinner on lacquer finishes. It will soften the finish and reamalgamate the finish into itself. If the finish is shellac you can do the same process with denatured alcohol. For poly you'll need to strip it.
We used hand sanitizer, which made the water stain mostly disappear. We squirted it directly on the water stain, and rubbed it in with a microfiber cloth. We followed that with Pledge spray, also rubbed in with a microfiber cloth, and that took care of the (now just barely visible) stain. So...maybe another technique to try?
Questions: can I use theMohawk of Howard’s products on solid track wood to remove water rings (and drops). Not cloudy, just discolored rings? Hope you answer and thank you.
Excellent info! Have you tired the blush retarder on raw vintage wood that has been stripped and still has white ring ( that Oxalic acid did not remove ( because it was caused by heat I believe, not water )?
On the Mohawk no Blush product page, It says it does not work on polyurethane or conversion varnish. Is there a way to test a finish to see what type it is?
hey man, and how did you get the white stains in the wood, does it need to be a certain finish on the wood or the water needs a certain temperature or time to soak in the wood, just want to recreate the stains in the wood for a magic trick..
In your previous video (2019?) you used a "Blush Eraser". Is that still available or is this basically the same product? Appears to really get the job done - I can't wait to try it on my walnut end table! Thanks for making this video - very informative 😀😀
@@FurnitureRefinishingStudio I ordered the Mohawk blush remover and my first attempt yielded ZERO improvement. :( How long should I let it sit before brushing out?
I appreciate the information, very informative.

Wow, the table looks great, thank you
Glad you like it!
The iron method worked really good on the white water mark on our dresser.
Great, thanks!

Good to know. How do you know if your antique table was finished with lacquer, shellac or poly?
Hi! Do you think the iron method would work on a black wood furniture? And the Mohawk product too on dark furniture? Thanks! Great video.
nice work. I've had good luck with a heat gun but keep it moving and farther away. Hair dryers don't get hot enough. just fyi

What type of cloth is that?

Steam made it work 5x faster on my table. I think the moisture reactivates the dried section.

Just leave a glass of ice water on surface. As ice melts it'll leave a ring.

Yes, its the exact same product. Mohawk now owns Behlen but its the same product. Thank You !

how hot should the iron be? ie what setting?
So what do you recommend for dining table. Wood with finish on it?
