*How Do I Remove a White Mark Caused By a Vodka Spill?

Repairing & Trouble Shooting Oil Based Finishes Repairing & Trouble Shooting Water Based Finishes

The term for white or cloudy marks is blush, caused by some type of moisture in the finish. Alcohol damage is more severe than water rings.

General Finishes tests all our topcoats against both isopropyl and denatured alcohol with results showing recovery within an hour.

In most cases, the white mark will fade if the spill is cleaned up in a timely manner. If the alcohol had been sitting on the surface for an extended period then it might not be able to bounce back.

Do I need to add a wetting agent such as Floetrol to General Finishes Milk Paint?

Milk Paint

No. General Finishes already adds excellent wetting and flow agents to our Milk Paint. Adding another wetting agent is superfluous, and it may even be harmful to your finish if the formulas don't coordinate.
