Zinsser ZINCSP1L 1 Litre Cover Stain Primer/Finish Paint

Ich kann mich meinem Vorredner nur anschließen, auch bei mir kam die Dose sehr schlecht verpackt und stark verbeult an. Fraglich ist, ob man sie so problemlos öffnen und wieder verschließen kann. Sie kam zudem 4 Tage später als angekündigt.

Covered a soot stain with the first coat but added a second to be sure excellent stuff

Excellent product. A name I know and trust. Great quality. Does the job. Covered stains and dries well. Would recommend.

Two weeks ago failed grouting in shower caused water staining in room below. I left it for a week to dry, including one day with dehumidifier running. This paint is very thick. I used a synthetic brush and it really dragged. I don't think it would be easy to apply with a roller. Having said that, using a 3" brush, (size of tin restricted use of larger brush) putting smallish amounts on it often, it did cover well without much spraying off the brush. Area was ceiling and top of wall, mostly light staining, about 3 square metres in all. I applied two generous coats and the manufacturer's info of coverage (9.8m per litre) is about right. Overpainted with Leyland Trade Super Leytex Matt emulsion, two coats, and that gave a perfect finish apart from one very small area where the staining was very dark. I gave that one extra coat each of the Zinseer and the emulsion and the result is perfect. Heads up. This is solvent based and the fumes are VERY strong. I had to open the doors to ventilate the room. Also, equipment must be cleaned with white spirit. It was recoatable after two hours, although I left the second coat overnight before applying emulsion. The 1 litre tin doesn't have a handle, so I stood it in a paint kettle to make it easier to handle. The Zinsser is expensive, but over decades I've had to deal with similar problems and this was the easiest and most effective method I've come across, so the trade off with price was worth it.

I’ve tried lots of different stain blocking products but this one is, by far, the best I’ve found. Their paint products in general are great and the white ones stay white for a long time. Does this particular paint smell ? Oh yeah, for sure, but not for so long that it’s a problem, does it cover stains ? Definitely and normally in one coat which can be a blessing when time is short. Can’t complain about any of the Zinsser products, but expensive but quality products carry a higher price I suppose.
