But you will still need to ensure the knots are blocked before putting bulls eye on bare wood
And 2 coats of bulls eye are best for bare wood or the top coat will be trying to do the job of an undercoat
Yes, sorry, should have said that, which is what I always do actually! Funnily enough I don't have any trouble with knots when using Bulls Eye - maybe I've always been lucky with the quality of the wood?
