I made a loft bed for my daughter some time age and all was fine till now. The reason for this change is that I made the bed a little too high, about 8", and she now keeps hitting her head when she get up.
I have cut the bed down to a more usable size, but the ladder is now leaking resin. The wood is a soft pine, known here as CLS timber, very cheep, but quite good for this type of use. Looks like I've cut through a knot, and I need some help please.
What's the best way of stopping this leakage, keeping in mind that the bed is all waxed?
I was thinking of using shellac to seal the wood, but will this seal be good enough to stop the resin form getting through?
I know I perhaps should have used a little more dense wood, and probably got some of a more seasoned quality, but not knowing where to get that from, and being my first real build I now pay the cost :-( But with your help I'm sure all will be fine in the end ;-)
Any ideas on how to overcome this will be most greatfully received.
Thanks in advance Deb
