Colron Knotting Solution

Colron Knotting Solution is a wood knotting solution for interior wood and wooden furniture. It is designed to be used as a pre-treatment prior to refinishing wooden surfaces. Knotting solutions block naturally occurring resins found in wood knots from being dissolved by the solvents in paints and other types of coating products, which then seeps to the surface and discolours the finish.

Ensure all surfaces to be treated are clean, dry and free of any surface contaminants.

1. Previous wax and polishes can be removed using Colron Wax Remover
2. Paints and varnishes must be fully removed using a suitable varnish or paint stripper
3. Lightly sand the surface and wipe with white spirit using a soft, lint-free cloth

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.

1. Apply 1 coat over and around all knots and resinous areas, using the in-cap brush, and using the Colron Craftsmens Cloth to remove any residual product from surrounding areas
2. Be sure to work the solution into the wood thoroughly, ensuring that all knots are properly sealed
3. Allow 1 hour for solution to dry

Is the Colron Knotting Solution colourless?

This product is not colourless but this shouldn't matter too much as knotting is usually applied under a paint and the paint should block out the colour change in the wood. If using white paint, a primer is recommended to help obliterate the colour of the knots.

Can Colron Knotting Solution be used on top of paint?

Knotting Solution needs to be able to penetrate the knot to seal the resins and stop future bleed. If you have already painted and are now experiencing a knot bleed, you would need to sand the timber back to bare wood and apply accordingly.
