Liberon Knotting Pale – 125ml
Liberon Knotting Pale is a traditional wood treatment designed to seal knots in timber and help prevent resin and sap from bleeding through paint or varnish finishes. By stabilising resinous areas before decorating, it helps reduce unsightly staining and discolouration, helping you achieve a cleaner, more consistent finish.
Particularly useful when preparing pine and other resinous softwoods, this pale-coloured knotting solution is suitable for use on all types of wood. Its light appearance also makes it suitable for timber that will receive a clear varnish finish.
Easy to apply with a brush, Liberon Knotting Pale requires just one coat directly onto the knots. It becomes touch dry in approximately 15 minutes and should be left for a further two hours before applying paint, varnish or another finish.
