Full details

FAQs

Can Zinsser B-I-N Primer Sealer be used outdoors?

Zinsser B-I-N Primer Sealer is primarily designed for interior use. It can be used for spot priming only on specific exterior surfaces like metal, trims, PVC, and wood.

Do I need to sand the surface before applying this primer?

No, Zinsser B-I-N offers unparalleled adhesion to glossy surfaces without the need for scuff sanding. Just ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of loose material.

What types of stains does this primer block?

It effectively blocks a wide range of tough stains, including water stains, mildew stains, oil stains, marker pen stains, bleeding knots, sap streaks, and discolouration from smoke and fire damage.

How quickly does Zinsser B-I-N dry and can I recoat it soon?

It dries to the touch in just 15 minutes. You can recoat it in as little as 45 minutes, allowing for quick project completion.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers after using Zinsser B-I-N?

Clean all tools immediately after use with denatured alcohol or a 50:50 solution of ammonia and water. Do not allow the primer to dry on your equipment.

Is this primer safe for use in areas with incidental food contact, like kitchens?

Yes, once the film is dry, it is non-toxic and hypo-allergenic, making it suitable for areas with incidental food contact, such as kitchen surfaces.

What is the coverage rate for this primer?

One litre of Zinsser B-I-N Primer Sealer typically covers approximately 12.5 square meters, depending on surface porosity.

Troubleshooting

Stains are bleeding through after one coat.

Ensure the first coat had adequate dry time (45 minutes) and then apply a second, thin, even coat. Very stubborn stains or strong odors may require two applications.

Primer is not adhering to a glossy surface.

Verify the surface was clean and free of grease, oil, or wax before application. While sanding isn't required for adhesion, a thorough cleaning is critical. Ensure the product was well-stirred.

Strong odor lingers after application.

Ensure the area is thoroughly ventilated during and after application. The odor will dissipate as the primer fully cures. Maintain airflow for several hours.

Tools are difficult to clean.

Shellac-based primers require specific solvents. Clean tools immediately after use with denatured alcohol or an ammonia and water mixture (50:50). Do not let the primer dry on tools.

Setup & Application

  3. Application: Apply with a high-quality synthetic brush, roller, or airless sprayer. Avoid excessive thinning. Apply a thin, even coat.
  4. Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying due to the strong odor.
