What Customers Are Saying
This primer is effective at covering and blocking a range of stains and odors. It is praised for its fast drying time, strong adhesion, and superior hiding power, often allowing users to skip the topcoat. However, the thin, watery consistency can make it challenging to work with, requiring multiple coats and proper ventilation due to the strong fumes.

Covers Well
Would RecommendIt covered my plaster walls well. Even though it was a lot thinner than I expected and the smell was very strong, it was worth using.

Great primer
Would RecommendI was refinishing a bathroom cabinet. I did use deglosser first, then just 1 coat of Zinsser primer before I painted. Primer covered great!

Stuff works great.
Goes on very easily and hides imperfections very well. Only con is that it takes a lot of primer to cover. Soaks it up on OSB like a sponge. Covered pet urine and smoke smell very well.

BIN Primer !!!!
Would RecommendAs a former painting contractor and now a DIY homeowner/and rental property owner I rely on BIN to cover tannin bleed found in old plaster. It seals pine knots and it makes a great surface prep to hang wallpaper on either plaster or sheetrock surfaces. For this purpose I have it tinted to the color of the back ground in the wallpaper for better coverage. The photo below is a plaster wall with bin applied first then taping with joint compound. A second spot coat of BIN is applied to cover the com...

oak cabinet kryptonite.
Would RecommendPurchased this stuff after seeing many good reviews about it; It did not dissapoint. My kitchen has quite of few cabinets in there. Ive never taking on a project of that scale before so i decided to do the guest bathroom first. Wow! Two coats of this stuff and the oak grain is gone. With two coats of paint nobody will ever know those are oak cabinets. Zinsser has me wanting to prime everything in the house that is oak. I highly recomend this product! Get it, follow the instructions, sand in bet...
This is the one for problem surfaces!
Would RecommendI chose to paint over grass-cloth wallpaper instead of removing it. After much research, I learned that using this primer would be the only way it would work. My contractor had never heard of it, but agreed the coverage is great. We had to use a lot of it, but would have needed twice as much with 'regular' primer. The fumes are HORRIBLE, so painter wore a mask. Fumes left within a day. Worth it!

Great primer
Would RecommendThis is a shellac based primer that sprays very well, dries quickly, and can be covered after a short time. Because it is alcohol based, it doesnt raise the grain.

works on pet urine odor
Would RecommendOur renters let their unneutered male cats urinate all over the hardwood floors in the house. The BIN primer sealer completely got rid of the odor. It took two coats in some places but there is no more odor. This is great stuff! We put vinyl planking down over the hardwood and it looks great!
