Resin bleed
Hi, i'm a newbie so sorry for any stupid questions.
I'm restoring our 60 year old casement windows by stripping the paint with a combination of heat gun, paint stripper and sanding. I've also replaced broken panes of glass and reputtied all the panes. I'm currently applying a white undercoat with an air gun but the colour keeps bleeding through. What have i done wrong and what should I do to stop the colour coming through to the top coat?
I think the wood is silky oak - its VERY hard and is a lovely reddish brown but someone else said he thought it might be ironbark.
thanks

silky oak is more, pale and on the softer side...
if its redish brown it probably is something like ironbark...

Try some shellac or nitrocellulose sanding sealer on the bare timber. Maybe 2-3 coats.
If you can feel the resin on the surface, scrub it off with meths before hitting it with the sealer.
Good luck and welcome to the forum.Cheers, Ern

As Ern says. Shellac is used as knotting to stop them seeping through paint.
Cheers,
