Zinsser Peel Stop Triple Thick High Build Binding Primer

This stuff works really good! If you have peeling paint, this stuff is perfect. It's kinda like a glue that seals loose paint. My porch had peeling paint so I painted it with peel stop and no more peeling paint. Went over it with regular paint and no more problems. Stuff works like magic.

This is my 4th and 5th gallon. This primer is really great for restoring and repainting weather battered wood. I pressure washed and wire brushed the old paint, put on a good coating of this primer, painted, and it makes a huge difference. I am not an experienced painter.

I needed this for an old wooden cabinet that had very old (lead?) paint that had alligatored in some places. I read that this product would allow me to fill in the surface and make it smooth and avoid having to do alot of (If any) sanding. Well that was mostly not the case. In one area it worked well but in other areas it didn’t really do that much. I applied numerous coats per the directions and even applied it very thick. I researched more and found that sanding can help between costs. Advice: don’t use an electric palm sander. It a couple areas it pulled the stuff off and I discovered it was basically like a rubbery glue after it has dried overnight. Correcting those pealed areas was not fun. In the end I realized that pre-sanding was necessary and probably would have made a big difference had I done it before applying this stuff. But since paint was not peeling, I’ll admit I was trying to cut a few corners. :-/

This is exactly what we needed in our bathroom to stop ceiling from peeling. Also, it was great because I could buy it in a quart size. I did not need to buy it in a gallon size which is all I could find in my local store.Did 2 coats.

Great stuff. Using it on peeling house trim that is exposed to desert sun. Easy to use and clean up.Update: Well, that was the first can.This morning, June 1, 2018, for the first time, I opened the second two cans I ordered and BOTH are defective. The paint is separated and can't be mixed. The first can is from a previous order and is still good and all three were stored next to each other, so something is wrong with the second two cans. They are both from the same lot number.It is frustrating that Amazon won't let me return this defective product as the 30 days have passed. It's been about 3 1/2 months. Really, though, WHO opens and inspects a can of paint immediately upon delivery? You expect it to be as good as the last can and not defective.2nd update: June 3, 2018 Checked the 4th and 5th cans I ordered immediately upon arrival. They are fine. Still mad about not being able to return/exchange the 2 defective cans, though.I'm buying 2 more cans but will open and inspect the primer when they arrive. Guess I'll just have to eat the $23 I'm out from the last order.

My house is 124 years old and my front door has layers of chipped paint that even sanding & stripping would not remove. Since it needed a lot of repair work with wood putty & sanding to even it out to a smooth finish, I was afraid of the putty chipping off. I applied a layer of this primer, before and after using the wood putty and then added 2 coats of paint and the door looks brand new. It’s not a solid white color, but more of a milky white so it will not replace a coat of paint but will help to bind the paint for a smoother finish. It does fill in small imperfections but the primer alone will not fill deep uneven places. This primer dries really fast & works much better than just a paint that has primer included, especially for filling in small imperfections. My door would’ve looked great with just one coat of paint after using this primer, but I did 2 coats because my door gets a lot of sun.

I used the product two different ways, with a sprayer and a brush. I would day brush is the best way to go. However there is a difference in color saturation difference between the videos and actual product. It needs a few coats and is more clear than white. So unless you rock a lot of coats, it will need actual paint over it.

This stuff is great! I love doing projects, but I despise sanding and stripping paint. I wasn’t sure this would work due to mixed reviews. I coated this swing with this paint about four times. The paint is sheer, I would only use this as a primer. The thickness seemed like typical paint to me. For my project it did fill some of the smaller holes and dents on this swing, but for deeper gauges it didn’t fill them at all. Nothing a little wood filler couldn’t help. This worked perfectly for the peeling paint though! I was skeptical, but it made this very smooth! If you’re looking for something that will make it “perfect” this isn’t it, but for something that will stop peeling it is fabulous! Once a top coat of paint is added you can’t even tell that it ever had peeling paint underneath it. This is going to be a go to for future projects.
