Ratings & Reviews for Zinsser Peel Stop Triple Thick Interior Multi-purpose Water-based Primer ( 1-quart )
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Most customers praise this product for bonding flaking paint and creating a stable base for topcoats, especially on deteriorated ceilings, trim, and old surfaces. However, many report it applies much thinner than the "triple thick" marketing suggests, requiring three to four coats for minimal coverage and comparing it to skim milk. Some experience chipping or poor adhesion despite careful application, while others note high cost relative to performance. A few find success with proper surface preparation and multiple coats. Overall, reviewers are divided between those who credit it for enabling successful repaints and those disappointed by thin consistency and coverage shortfalls.

AMAZING!
Would RecommendWe are painting our 107 yr old 3-story. There was (alot) of peeling paint and I thought after scraping and painting w/ Benjamin Moore acrylic it was good to go. However, the old paint was oil based and areas started coming up. After a meltdown, I researched the Peel Stop and gave it a shot. WHAT A HUGE IMPROVEMENT! It evens out the boards and creates a smooth surface. I also primed w/ 1-2-3 and then finished w/ BM. BEAUTIFUL! If you're wondering if it's worth an extra step and extra money, th...

Be careful
Unfortunately one of the paint containers had spilled into the containing box, which thank God it was in the cardboard containing box. I had to carefully remove the cardboard box, then wipe the paint can down with cloth.

difficult to get thick
Would Recommendit was difficult to get on thick with a 1/2 in roller but it went on thicker with a brush. not sure if doing one pass with a loaded roller would work better instead of rolling on like paint.

Peel Stop Triple Thick really covers.
Would RecommendSuper thick paint with great coverage. I had a peeling and cracking kitchen wall and this claims to seal and bind the paint to prevent future cracks and peeling. Time will tell. Looks great right now. Use two coats, then primer and then top coat.

Best primer ever invented!
Would RecommendWe have used this to prime the exterior of a house before painting and inside to prime cabinets and it is a great product because it adheres so well. We make sure to always keep some of it around for various projects.

Zinsser is the BEST!
Would RecommendHad a ceiling that was peeling from the moisture and didn't want to spackle all the loose paint. So I decided to make a trip to Lowes and purchase Zinsser Peel Stop Triple Thick and what a great purchase. Locks down all lose and peeling paint coverage is excellent. Nice and thick consistency. Coated over it with Olympic ONE semi gloss and it looks great. Thanks Rustoleum for another great product!
