Recently had some pine doors painted white and installed. After a short time I started seeing brown stains on the doors. I was told it was the wood oil leaching through the paint. How can I rectify this? Sand down and repaint? Is there a particular paint that should be used? Don't know much about wood working so could use some guidance.

need a good quality primer
check young sing for advice

To hide pine knots, you will need a shellac-based hiding primer like Zinsser B-I-N.

Sand and prep the stain and a bit beyond it. Apply two light coats of B-I-N. Let it dry and apply the finishing coats of paint.

gonna try building a bathroom vanity using teak
would have loved to put some dove tail joins on the horizontal boards where it meets the vertical panel
but i would have to settle for pocket hole screws

[pugboy]

how you joining the boards to get the width?

You can glue them together or use pocket holes (which is what I use), best bet is to use both

[pugboy]

to edge glue the boards need to be jointed square well and clamped to glue

Coming along nicely
I need to cut some pieces to finish it off

[pugboy]

very nice, I would suggest seeping some epoxy into the bottom ends to seal it off from any water later on

[Rovin]

Good idea about the plastic feet

I ordered a plug cutting set so i will cut teak plugs and glue them in the screw holes

[pugboy]

you can get rubber feet too

Question
What is the best way to sand teak before applying the sanding sealant and after
So that the wood will not look scratched?
I have both a belt sander and orbital

Came out decent

so i watch this channel fairly often & stumbled across this video with they saying that this us$15,000 table is being shipped to somebody in TRINIDAD & TOBAGO @3.27 , this is 3yrs ago

they guys are based in canada & do really nice work ...

[pugboy]

that was the peak of them epoxy tops
they kinda drop out of style now

[Rovin]

that company seems to still be getting alot of work though , its understandably expensive so way out of d league of d average man while man-made stone countertops or machined wood planks wud be within range of most ppl's budget ...
