[Woodcarver] cypress knee painting ??

[Rick T]

Another product which is very effective at stain blocking is, "Killz Max".
I purchase it at Home Depot. It is water washup and flat. 2 coats make a
very effective sealer.

Also, a trick I used during some renovations for a very persistent bleed
through stain was to spot prime the area with 2 coats of nail polish. This
even stops ball point pen!
