Painting Problems and Solutions

What is it?
  • Hard cross grained disfigurements in timber which are formed where shoots on trees are developed into branches. Golden sticky resin exuded at knot.
Possible Causes
  • Normal characteristic of wood.
How Can I Fix This Problem
  • Knots exuding resin should be drilled out whenever possible and the hole plugged with sound wood.
  • Alternatively an attempt can be made to remove any free resin and wipe down the surface with white spirit followed by knotting compound.
  • Normal knots can be treated with knotting compound at least 1cm beyond the area to be treated, feathering off the edges. Apply knotting compound thinly as to avoid thick edges
