I watched this but he never mentioned fixes for knots
He only showed how to fill worm holes
In some back and side sets I’ve seen there has knots which are unavoidable and some bigger than others

Knots......small ones can be dealt with with CA. A larger knot in a side set....put a patch on the back side and then fill from outside using resin.
