White solid paint finishing onto wooden furniture is having problem with the defect, the gum resin from wood or bleeding are coming out to the surface, making a flack and stain on it.

woods with gum/resin should NOT be painted with ANY color without first putting down a coat or two of knot sealer

In the US we have a product called BIN from the Zinsser company. I don't know if it is available in Indonesia but the main ingedient is shellac. :smile:

thanks jschaben, is this shellac coating can prevent the wood resin oil not to spreading out to surface.?

Wipe the surface with acetone. Apply several coats of fresh dewaxed shellac. Or, use a two part epoxy as a sealer.

Thanks Cabinetman,
it seems that ight now we got 3 materials that involve with this matter, i.e.: Acetone, Shellac and epoxy.

would like to here other suggestion for it. I'll keep waiting for that.
if it's going white, try not to use any timber with knots, even with a knot sealer there's a good chance the knot will bleed and either cause cracking/flaking or at the very least cause a discoloration.
