Title: Milky lines?
Post by: Klean07 on January 05, 2013, 06:27:22 pm: Started doing a new pub yesterday but some of the windows dried with white spotty lines at top! Could this be something to do with powdery paint or something else. My tds is 00.

I find a longer rinse below the top frame does the job.

Yeah me too.

re the op
As it's the 1st time cleaning they will most probably bed themselves in and come up good after a couple of cleans. Or hopefully next time if you are rinsing enough.

Like a big milk bath just used lots and lots and lots of water and rinsed lots they came up superb. Not sure what they will be like on next clean though.
