Sometimes the furniture you are working on could have tannins in the wood that are bleeding through the paint, or there could be a heavy stain, or it could even have absorbed nicotine in a house with smokers in its past life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eWhen you apply the clear coat over your painted piece, it can exacerbate the problem by drawing the stain through the paint. However, now that you have clear coated the piece, it is sealed and that should block the stain from coming through again, so go ahead and re-paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Dixie Belle Finishing Products include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vintageatticsevenoaks.com\/collections\/db-finishing-products\/products\/gator-hide-clear-coat-dixie-belle-products\" title=\"Dixie Belle Gator Hide\"\u003eGator Hide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vintageatticsevenoaks.com\/collections\/db-finishing-products\/products\/how-do-hemp-oil-dixie-belle-products\" title=\"Howdy hemp seed oil Dixie Belle Paint\"\u003eHemp Oil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vintageatticsevenoaks.com\/collections\/db-finishing-products\/products\/best-dang-wax-choose-from-clear-black-white-grunge-brown-dixie-belle-products\" title=\"Dixie Belle Best Dang Waxes\"\u003eBest Dang Wax\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vintageatticsevenoaks.com\/collections\/db-finishing-products\/products\/big-mamas-butter-orange-grove-dixie-belle\" title=\"Big Mamas Butta, Butter Wax\"\u003eBig Mama’s Butta\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vintageatticsevenoaks.com\/collections\/db-finishing-products\/products\/gilding-wax-various-colours-dixie-belle-products\" title=\"Easy Peasy Spray Wax Dixie Belle\"\u003eEasy Peasy Wax\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e236ml (8oz) gives 37.5 sq ft of coverage (3.5 sq m)\u003cbr\u003e473ml (16oz) gives 75 sq ft of coverage (7 sq m)\u003cbr\u003e946ml (32oz) gives 150 sq ft of coverage (14 sq m)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour Accuracy Disclaimer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhilst we’ve taken every effort to replicate the colours you see on screen to accurately reflect the colours in the Dixie Belle Paint collection.
