Knots are bleeding through paint. Previous to painting I sanded, 2

In the UK we use 'Knotting primer' which seals the knots and stops the
resin coming out. Surely you can get something similar in the US.


The shellac should have done that. My guess is that it was put
on too thin, and not allowed to dry between coats.
