Door Issue

[Sonny]

An online chat friend has, what appears to be, resin/color bleed- through on a set of 4 interior doors (for a 6' wide doorway), purchased from Lowes or Home Depot 11 years ago. She primed (X2) and painted (X2, Sherwin Williams white acrylic) them, 11 yrs ago, and they developed bleed through. She's always wanted to repair this problem. I can only upload one pic onto Flickr, other pics are too large for Flickr upload.

doors were raw wood, when purchased. It appears there's some, not only color bleed through, but resin beaded-up, onto the surface, in some other pics on some areas (not all) of the doors. I suspect the wood was either not kiln dried properly, if at all. I don't know what kind of wood it is, but I assume something typically off the shelf.

She thought the problem was the primer/paint. I'm suspecting it's the wood/resin, not a primer-paint issue. I hope the pic, above, is revealing enough.

Any thoughts and suggestions for repair/refinish would be appreciated. I've recommended stripping/sanding and refinish with Zinsser (*shellac) primer/stain blocker, before repainting.

Obviously pine.

Always tough to get rid of a resinous pine resin. Sand down to wood. try soaking with acetone to melt the remaining resin pith.. Then shellac over.

Just unlucky piece of wood. When I grew up, we had a door that would drip res> An online chat friend has, what appears to be, resin/color bleed-

Dewaxed shellac -- Zinnser Sealcoat. Haven't had a knot bleed through yet.

I have had better luck with isopropyl alcohol(not the drug store variety) on SYP anyway.
