A few years ago we had to have builders in to do some jobs in the house. We have now found that some of the wood they have used was not treated and that brown rings, probably from knots in the wood are showing through the paint.
Please can anyone advise a product to get without these
Many thanks

The marks come through because whoever painted the wood didn't apply knotting to the knots before painting. It's something that's often missed out nowadays I fear.
You can apply knotting "after the event", this exact subject came up on uk.d-i-y just recently. You'll have to do it the next time you redecorate, before you re-paint sand the marks lightly to give the knotting a key and then paint some knotting over each of the marks. This should ensure that they don't reappear through the new paint.
Many thanks to this group for their help
