An online chat friend has, what appears to be, resin/color bleed-
through on a set of 4 interior doors (for a 6' wide doorway),
purchased from Lowes or Home Depot 11 years ago. She primed (X2) and
painted (X2, Sherwin Williams white acrylic) them, 11 yrs ago, and
they developed bleed through. She's always wanted to repair this
problem. I can only upload one pic onto Flickr, other pics are too
large for Flickr upload.

The doors were raw wood, when purchased. It appears there's some, not
only color bleed through, but resin beaded-up, onto the surface, in
some other pics on some areas (not all) of the doors. I suspect the
wood was either not kiln dried properly, if at all. I don't know what
kind of wood it is, but I assume something typically off the shelf.

She thought the problem was the primer/paint. I'm suspecting it's the
wood/resin, not a primer-paint issue. I hope the pic, above, is
revealing enough.

Any thoughts and suggestions for repair/refinish would be
appreciated. I've recommended stripping/sanding and refinish with
Zinsser (*shellac) primer/stain blocker, before repainting.

Obviously pine.

Always tough to get rid of a resinous pine resin.
Sand down to wood.
try soaking with acetone to melt the remaining resin pith..
Then shellac over.

Just unlucky piece of wood. When I grew up, we had a door that would
drip resin during summer and fall. In major amounts.
Just as if it were alive. I always got the feeling, it really was...
Never did stop leaking...

I'm confused. Nothing about that picture looks like a primed and painted
piece of wood.

First off, that looks like a mighty thin coat of paint. Second, you're
probably right that if she strips and puts BIN over it, then sprays
the enamel on, it should keep the wood tamed down.

I'd strip and then wipe it down very wetly with lacquer thinner and
let it dry thoroughly before putting the Zinsser on.

Dewaxed shellac -- Zinnser Sealcoat. Haven't had a knot
bleed through yet.

Sonny,

Download yourself a copy of irfanview, free, small program for
cropping, resizing, resampling, rescaling images and
it will do batch prcessing, relatively simple to use.

I have had better luck with isopropyl alcohol(not the drug store variety)
on SYP anyway.
Then shellac over.
