FAQs

What is Patent Knotting used for?

Patent Knotting is used to seal knots and resinous areas in wood before painting. It prevents these natural wood substances from bleeding through paint, ensuring a clean and smooth finish.

Can I use this on any type of wood?

It is primarily designed for new wood or wood that has been stripped back. It is particularly effective on softwoods like pine that are prone to resin bleed. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

How long does it take to dry?

Under normal conditions, it dries relatively quickly, typically within 15-30 minutes, allowing for subsequent coats of primer soon after.

What should I use to clean my brushes?

Brushes should be cleaned immediately after use with methylated spirits.

Do I need to prime over the Patent Knotting?

Yes, it is essential to apply a suitable primer over the dried Patent Knotting before applying your topcoat of paint. This ensures optimal adhesion and finish.

Is the black color important?

The black color can be advantageous for masking dark wood undertones and providing a uniform base, especially when painting with lighter colors over woods with dark knots.

What is the size of this product?

This product is available in a 250ml tin.

Troubleshooting

Resin bleed-through after painting.

Ensure a sufficient coat of Patent Knotting was applied to fully cover the knot. Reapply Patent Knotting and allow it to dry completely before priming and painting.

Uneven surface after application.

Apply thinner coats. Ensure the brush is not overloaded and is applied evenly. Light sanding after drying may help achieve a smoother surface if needed.

Product not drying properly.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid applying in very high humidity or cold conditions. Ensure the surface is completely dry before application.

Black color showing through light paint.

This is unlikely if properly primed. Ensure a good quality primer is applied over the dried Patent Knotting. A second coat of primer may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent at preventing knot and resin bleed-through.
  • Forms a solid base for painting, ensuring a smooth final appearance.
  • Quick drying time due to the methylated spirit content.
  • Suitable for both new and stripped wood surfaces.
  • The black color can help mask dark wood undertones.

Cons

  • Requires good ventilation due to methylated spirits.
  • May not be suitable for all wood types or finishes without testing.
  • Specific use case; not a general-purpose sealant.
  • Requires application before priming, adding a step to the painting process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application:

  1. Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint.
  2. Stir the Blackfriar Patent Knotting thoroughly before use.
  3. Apply a thin, even coat directly to the knots and resinous areas using a brush.
  4. Allow the coating to dry completely. Drying time is typically around 15-30 minutes, depending on conditions.
  5. Once dry, the treated area is ready for a suitable primer.

Compatibility:

  • This product is designed for use on bare wood before priming.
  • It is compatible with most standard primers and solvent-based paints.
  • Test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate or previously treated woods.

Care:

  • Store the tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Keep the lid tightly closed when not in use to prevent evaporation and skinning.
  • Clean brushes immediately after use with methylated spirits.
