October 18, 201411 yr I've tried every bleedin' stinkin' thing that you will see spoken about everywhere. Nothing works I mean nothing. Not varnish, not shellac, not three coats of varnish or shellac. not killz not drylok - - nothing works. Oh sure they work long enough for the poor sodding bugger who tries them to rush to the interwebs or book publisher and crow about his or her fabulous results - - - and then six months later the bleedin' stinkin' knots show up again and - - well that puts lie to those mythical fables. Except one thing that I discovered out of desperation and chance. Ya see I have restored 7 desperately dilapidated homes in three different states ( all by myself) and I tried all that nonsense and it really does not work. They are not long haul solutions , they are just a bandaids for a few months. What works the longest? The most permanent that so d far I've never seen a bleed through? BUY NOW~!!! Call 800 555-555 have your card handy and you can get two for the price of none Flat enamel white (or any color really) spray paint in the can. For whatever reason those lovely spray enamels stop pine knots dead. Flat enamel because it takes house paint over top without complaint. Don't tell anyone it's a secret.
October 18, 201411 yr Hey Cliff I could of saved all ya all the heartache years ago. You shoulda called me! My dad worked with pine a lot, he used that trick ever since I was a wee lad.
