I'm not delighted to use mayo for blush removal either, if that is what is being discussed, and it does sound that way to me. I have heard of this trick for some time now and have rejected it out right. Preferring blush removers and other chemicals that the normal household does not have lying around, and feeling that eggs would create botulism or the like. (And I knew Greg would gag on it too.) Then I had a small table come in with the worst case of water blush I ever saw. I began coating it when ever I passed the booth area of my shop, with blush remover. A nasty smelling chemical, that I have suggested often, for in home use. This stuff is really bad for your brain cells, and it's not cheap, or avaible in the usual stores. After many attempts to remove this blush there was still a trace that I had been working on for the past week, but it persisted. Out of total frustration I went to the lunch room and got some mayonnaise from the fridge. No sooner did I put it on but the deep blush started to improve. I left the surface smeared with this stuff for an hour, and the blush is now gone. I will disinfect the surface with peroxide and then buff with steel wool and fresh wax. Don't ask me why it works, it just does, BTW, if you are opposed to mayo then I hear peanut butter works too.
