   ktkamm,

   It's been a while since I've used milk paint.
   I'm thinking that shellac applied only on the knots
   may show thru the milk paint as a different texture.
   I would suggest you compare shellac vs Zinser 123
   on a test scrap of wood to see how they compare.

   I generally use milk paint from http://www.milkpaint.com in their instructions they say to seal the knots with a coat of shellac then aply the first coat of milkpaint while the shellac is still tacky.

   Or you can prep the knots with a mixture of milk paint and their extrabond addative which will help seal the knots and help the milk pant adhere.

   Thanks Webby. I think I actually have some of the bonding product  from that company in one of my drawers.
