BLEEDING:(Discoloration)

Knots and resinous woods (e.g. Cedar and Redwood), creosote, asphalt or color soluble in oil (Penetrating Stain) will release stain, which will bleed into any new paint surface. Exterior surfaces should be cleaned of all excess material on the surface and then sealed with Bennette Acrylic Stain Primer, 8-230. This same primer can be used on interior surfaces as well to seal crayon, ballpoint pen, magic marker and smoke and water stains to eliminate bleeding.
