Cuprinol Garden Shades

Hi all,
i have used Cuprinol Garden Shades 'cream colour' on the front of Summerhouse and have noticed knots appearing on wood,
any ideas how to fix this,
i did try painting over it again 'the knots' but as the paint is now dry and water repellant it does not soak onto the wood.

    Should have been treated with Knotting treatment prior to the finish coat to be honest.

    But fear not, you will need to keep coating it every year unless you use a serious treatment rather than a stain, it will cover eventually.

    Research the stuff you are proposing to use, most is/are colour and nothing more, sad but true:(:(:(:(:(
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
