wow.. I usually use the ultraflo when it's more humid to avoid blushing. how humid was it? Mohawk recommends not to go above 65% or below 65 degrees. however, Bob Anderson did a video on one of his tombstones. seemed that around 55-60 the lacquer stayed fluid just a little longer and flowed out better.

that super blush retarder is wonderful stuff. just the lightest misting is needed. it disappears before your eyes like a TV commercial
