Zinsser B-I-N is the sort of product that could be considered a "get-out-of-jail-free" card in the world of priming and preparation. It has unrivalled adhesion to nearly any substrate, including glossy or very porous surfaces. It can be applied in freezing air temperatures and will effectively block and kill nearly any conceivable stain and odour you might encounter.
Perfect for interior projects such as walls and ceilings, but also applied to doors, trim, skirting boards and any potential paintable surface. Perfect for any type of substrate from drywall and plaster to wood, metal, glass, plastic, shiny and gloss surfaces and so much more without the need to sand or abrade the surface first. Externally, it's ideal for spot priming tricky areas such as knots in wood, rust stains and copper screening stains.
Not recommended for heavily rusted surfaces, whole surface exterior priming, areas in constant contact with water or application to any type of flooring, including decking.

- Stir B.I.N. by Zinsser thoroughly before and during use, making sure to reach the pigment in the top and bottom creases of the tin
- Apply with a brush, paint pad, roller or airless sprayer, clean brushes and other equipment with Zinsser B-I-N Brush Cleaner and Restorer

When Zinsser B-I-N is completely dry, finish with a suitable topcoat, such as Zinsser Allcoat Exterior (sb), Zinsser Allcoat Exterior (wb) or Zinsser Perma-white Interior. Alternatively, it can be used with nearly any opaque paint product relevant to the project in hand.
