I have shellac flakes, stuff I disolved in acetone and added dye for marking pens.Paint the knots with shellac, AKA knot sealer, it'll stop them darkening the paint over time. As long they are live knots, that is not loose in the wood, they'll be fine.

Same stuff, I can make up a clear one with acetone? Or do I need to buy the proper stuff?
This is not the Home Brew thread ....Meths used to be the standard.
I've had this too. I'm going to try 2k epoxy primer next time!I've recently finished renovating a house all new skirting, architrave, spindles bannisters etc. I used knotting solution from different manufacturers, sometimes two coats and most of it has bled through. It drives me up the wall especially the stretch opposite the loo - for obvious reasons!
I asked a decorator friend and he said dig the knot out and fill over it - not the quick and easy solution I had hoped for so I am currently trying the zinsser shellac primer to see if that helps.
