Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, dirt, grease, or wax. While Zinsser B-I-N offers incredible adhesion without scuff sanding, a clean surface is always essential for optimal performance. Remove any peeling or flaking paint.
Application
Stir the primer thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush, roller, or sprayer. For best results and maximum stain/odor blocking, apply a thin, even coat. Allow 15 minutes for the primer to be touch-dry and 45 minutes before applying a second coat or topcoat. Always ensure adequate ventilation during application, as the product has a strong odor.
Compatibility
- Interior Surfaces: Excellent for ceilings, walls, and doors.
- Exterior Surfaces: Suitable for spot priming metal, trims, PVC, and wood.
- Topcoats: Compatible with most topcoats, including water-based and oil-based paints.
Coverage
One 2.5L tin covers approximately 31.25m², based on a coverage rate of 12.5m² per litre.
Cleanup & Storage
Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with denatured alcohol or methylated spirits. Do not use water. Store the tin tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
