How to Fix Watermarks on Painted Furniture
by
Debbie
Have you ever started to paint a piece of furniture, only to have a watermark start to appear in the paint? Or, maybe you have an unfinished piece of furniture with sap stains you want to paint.
Here is a simple technique to seal any stains on wood prior to painting. It requires only one product. Zinsser Bulls Eye Spray Shallac. This product will seal the mark or stain and prevent any bleed through. Dries in 5 minutes and can be sprayed over unfinished wood or on top of a mark that has already come through paint.

Here is a water ring that started to appear after my first coat of paint.
Here is the same dresser top, after spraying the ring with two light coats of Zinsser Bulls Eye Shallac. Followed, by a another layer of paint.
