Ratings & Reviews for Zinsser BIN Interior Multi-purpose Shellac Wall and Ceiling Primer ( 5-gallon )

Amazing sealer

Bought a total of 14 gallons over the last 6 months for a remodel. Very impressed with the product. Completely sealed the walls and ceiling of a house that was heavily smoked in. Saved us thousands of dollars by not having to replace drywall.

Great for pet smells

This was great after we removed carpet that had pet stains that had went onto the plywood. Used this and no smell now !

Great for MDX Boards

Great primer for MDX boards. Lightly sand after using this primer.

Odor sealing & Drys fast!

Good choice for primer

Great coverage, fast drying and sands very smooth finish

its too difficult to use

the odor is so strong , that contractor refused to use it after testing, to the extent he complained he will fall sick although he used all kind of masks. I couldn't return it in time and lost a lot of money.in general and Ai search, there's some saying around why it should be used on the walls of bathrooms but most regular contractors don't see why it needs to be used. I wish I had the details about real usages from real users. I wish someone send me a detailed usage where how and why I should ...

Incredible price!

Great product. Lowe’s had it on sale for $100!

excellent

Excellent

Pricy but it works!

This stuff works. I was looking for Kilz but Lowe's doesn't carry it. Bought this instead. Previous house owner had a cat peeing in a carpeted closet. I removed all the carpet and padding, applied enzymatic cleaner a few times, then sealed it up with this stuff. Odor is totally gone. The subfloor is a piece of plywood so it is impressive that it worked well on that too. It is super expensive in my opinion but I made this little quart work for a small closet.

Great coverage

I used this to prime brand new plywood before painting, and it did better than expected. Had to use two coats to hide all the grain but i expected that seeing it was bare wood.

Bin is expensive water it is garbage stay away and

This is expensive water doesn’t cover nothing and is just drips everywhere you can’t even load the brush it falls out.

High-quality primer used for years in restoration

Have used this primer for years it works Inside or outside

Absolutely works

Second time purchasing this shellac for odor blocking old processed wood/particle board cabinets and am totally satisfied with it. I recommend it!

what's the hype about?

first, I'm tried on the furniture project. it's awful. it's runny impossible to put on with the brush, but it dries within 2 seconds before even I can finish the stroke. awful
