   I just used the BIN, two coats of it, covered by two coats of white latex top coat and the sap color still bled through after a few days.  I was going to ask the forum for an alternative to BIN!

   Are you sure it was the alcohol-based BIN?

   Shellac is probably the best sealer I've found. But you can't just use one or two coats , when you're dealing with the tough spots.

   That's the bad news.

   The good news is that the stuff dries so quickly that you can do 7 or 8 coats in one hour.

   I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone,
   And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone;
   I can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone,
   So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here. (Phil Ochs)

   had good luck just recently with SW Oil Base Ext Primer on cedar with 2 coarts of Duration but it has yet to live through a hot summer here and that will be the test.

   Cover Stain.   You can spray but brushing will put on a heavier coat.

   • Interior and exterior
   • Best exterior wood sealer
   • Blocks cedar & redwood bleed
   • Seals water, smoke & nicotine stains
   • Sticks to all surfaces without sanding
   • Dries in 1 hour

   I've also had luck using aluminized metallic spray paint over pesky knots.
