Can I use this primer outdoors?

Yes, Zinsser Bulls Eye 123 is suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Do I need to sand the surface before priming?

Yes, sanding is recommended for glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For other surfaces, ensure they are clean and free of loose particles.

Coverage rates vary depending on the surface, but a gallon typically covers between 300-400 square feet. Check the product label for specific coverage information.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (cleaned and sanded). Allow the primer to dry completely before applying the topcoat. Consider a second coat of primer.

Stains are bleeding through the primer.

Apply a second coat of primer, especially over heavily stained areas. Ensure the primer is fully dry before applying the topcoat.

Ensure the primer completely seals the source of the odor. In severe cases, multiple coats may be necessary or additional treatments may be needed.
