Ratings & Reviews for Zinsser BIN Interior/Exterior Multi-purpose Shellac Wall and Ceiling Primer ( Spray can )

BAD QUALITY CONTROL--High %SPRAYERS DEFECTIVE

I have used at LEAST 20 cans of this because the shellac based sticks to anything and refinishing it works great as a base on repenting kitchen cabinets. BUT--out of 5 cans at least three will not work properly--the sprayer goes dead after a few swipes of paint on my project. Then it splatters. I have tried cleaning the tips and re-trying to no avail. I have WASTED at least 60.00 on defective spray cans as once you try them out? NOT returnable. But it sprays on smoother than a brush IF IT WORKS!...

I have been using Zinsser BIN for years. It is the best! I’ve always used brush on so this is first time to use spray on. Very satisfied with the results.

Spray can?!

I do not like having this in a spray can, at all. I spent 10.98 on this can and it only did 1/2 of my project! The only other option for this brand was almost $100. NEVER AGAIN!!! I'll be using Kilz brand from now on.

Outstanding

This is the best stain blocker I have found. I purchase it all the time for my work.

Horrible... Just Buy the Brush on Version

Allow me to attempt to describe what a horrible raging piece of garbage this spray can is. So first off I bought this to help refinish a project I'm working on and being very familiar with spray paint thought it could save me some time. WRONG. I opened this can followed the directions and began coating my piece. Within about 10 seconds an eruption of primer occurred splattering paint all of my project and my hands. So I cleaned the bottle thinking maybe I accidentally damaged the spray nozzle...

Ceiling

Matches good to ceiling. Works better with several coats. Shake well

Good product

Used it on some pine moulding that had knot's before priming and painting. Sealed them pretty well. Just make sure it's well ventilated where u sprey and a mask is a good idea!

Use it weekly

70% of my business is spackling and painting we always come across stains, and dark stained wood, paneling, materials that need to be primed so we always use this product.

Ok

It didn’t seal as good as I hoped. It tended to orange peal in spots.

Does Not Cover Water Stains

After several coats to wood ceiling water stains continue to bleed through.

Covers It All

Great product and so easy to use being the aerosol. Had to prime a slick board with multiple stains of various products prior to painting. Spray goes on evenly and smoothly and dries very quickly. Able to put on finished product in less than 15 minutes.

Good stain blocker

I used this stain blocker as a primer to cover some discoloring due to water damage on a drywall ceiling. It went on easily and left a good finish. After top coating with latex paint, stain was no longer visible and hasn’t bled through. Used it also on some wooden cabinet doors to cover bleed through from some knots in the wood. Same results. Good product.
