Emery;
you will be able to feel that the texture has changed after sealing the knots. I recommend sealing them twice for the first time and once every month or so. If you really find it is so hard to use , you could have emailed me and asked for some help or some tips. (instead of posting "debby's knot sealer is so hard to use and apply).
I am ALWAYS willing to help people out , all you have to do is email me and ask.
On top of that, Snipe was kind enough to take his time to make a video showing how easy it is to use....the video is posted and is free to view. Not sure how much more we can offer if one doesn't take advantage of the information given.
