Treat knots with an appropriate knotting solution.

Application

Before you start, stir the paint thoroughly in the tin to ensure that it's completely mixed. Test a small area to be sure you’re happy with the finished results.

Apply two even coats with a roller or synthetic brush.
Leave at least 6 hours before applying the second coat.
