I have some old pine chests that were bought unfinished (about 10 years
ago).  They were stained and varnished for many years.  About four years
ago, I sanded them down to the wood, and painted them with white oil-based
enamel (PPG).  Now I have a problem with the knots bleeding through as a
brown discoloration (this takes a few months to show up after painting).  
I have repainted them twice now, with the same results.

I would like to get them right, but I obviously need to do something
different.  Help!  My only ideas are:

	1) lightly sand, *primer* and repaint,

	2) use latex

	3) make kindling.  :-)
