Amine blush is caused by a particular combination of humidity and CO2. Generally it will rectify itself by leaving the rod in a very warm room, or even in direct sunlight, for a day or two.
If this won't do the trick, you may be looking at something else entirely. ............... Re: blush

Stan,
You aren't doing anything to the wraps after wrapping are you? i.e. you aren't doing something like wiping the wraps with DNA or another solvent are you? Be safe Re: blush

The finish will have a slight hase to it if not mixed well
Are you mixing long enough it should look clear after it is mixed Bill - willierods.com Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/11/2014 09:12AM by bill boettcher. Re: blush

Stan,
Since nothing else seems to pop out, have you tried a new batch of guide wrap coating? I wouldn't think that there is anything wrong with the finish, but your results might point that way. Be safe Re: blush

Stan,
What is the temperature and humidity of the room where you apply finish? When you warm the finish, how do you warm it? If you haven't tried it before, about 5 seconds in a microwave does a great job of warming the finish. As Mr. Kirkman said in his post - normally blush is the result of humidity in the finish application area. If you are in a warm area, do you have an air conditioner that you could use in the finish room, to insure that the area stays low in humidity? Be safe Edited 1 time(s).

I take it you are using a High Build finish
I will almost bet you a Light Finish may just work better for you Same trouble I used to have with painting a car in hot muggy weather I would thin it and slow down the drying time and it would work well A light finish is thinner and has a little longer set time letting any mosture evaporate I use flex coat but the UV new stuff High build -- But i thin it Bill - willierods.com Edited 1 time(s).

Just don't over do it and thin too much Try several ways on a piece of scrap blank I have used lacquer thinner - Mid Temp -- now I tend to like a urethane reducer - medium I still do not know if your place is Hot and Muggy or if it is cool or very cold I have done finish in cool yet not really COLD temps When hot like 90 with a lot of humidity I turn on the air Bill - willierods.com Re: blush

I am going to assume that you do not exhale on the finish to break bubbles?

No blowing on the bubbles in the resin the blush appears when I put the resin on the whippings even when I check the mix prior it is not visible Re: blush
