Sap Bleeding through stain -- Help.

[jermedia]

Random question on some pine I made into Adirondack chairs. I got them straight from the Mill here in NH, and when the chairs were all done and stained, the sap bled through. Little dots all over. 1)How would I treat the wood before I stain to keep this from happening, and 2) How do I now remove the sap to restain -- hopefully so it doesn't happen again??? (I was thinking something like turpentine and steel wool maybe?)
Thanks

use shellac based paint to seal the wood. then repaint with the usual solvent based paint.

Seal with de-waxed shellac, wait a week or so, and then top coat with varnish... Personally, I would do what Hughman says, and paint them. I think Adirondack chairs look better painted dark green and white. Getting gooey pine sap off is a job for turpentine, or paint thinner and a bunch of rags.

But, get as much off as you can, and call the rest "character"

I'd agree with both Hughman and Mrleft8. The really amazing thing is how long sap will bleed out of even a small board , let alone a timber in a building tongue.gif Your chairs will be clean for a few seasons as thats about how long you'll be wiping them down with the thinner ;) Happy to be here ;) PEG

Summer is too short to be spent varnishing lawn chairs. What Hugh said. Paint 'em.
