Common Uses
Cut to size and install with finish nails or construction adhesive. Flatstock is the base component for custom trim builds -- combine multiple widths and profiles to create elaborate door surrounds and mantels. Seal all knots with shellac-based primer (such as Zinsser BIN) before painting. Pine knots bleed through standard latex paint and primers.
Pro Tips
- Flatstock is the DIY trim builder's best friend. Combine a wide flatstock header with casing legs to create a Craftsman-style door surround without buying specialty moulding.
- For paint: seal knots with shellac-based primer (Zinsser BIN) before priming and painting. For stain: apply pre-stain conditioner first to reduce blotching. For clear finish: sand to 180-grit and apply polyurethane.
- For custom mantel and built-in applications, rip flatstock to the exact width needed on a table saw. The square edges allow precise custom sizing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is flatstock used for?
Flatstock is a square-edged board used to build custom trim assemblies, window headers, mantels, and built-in shelving. It is the base material for any trim design that starts with a straight, flat profile.
Will pine knots bleed through paint?
Yes. Seal all knots with a shellac-based primer (such as Zinsser BIN) before painting. Standard latex primers do not prevent knot bleed-through.
