ZinsserPeel Stop Clear Binding Primer 1 Litre ZINPSP1L

Not a decorator and do not know if there is alternatives to this but it really does work like it says. Easy to use and apply and after repeated use in many areas, this has worked flawlessly.Not much needed at all so will last for a very long time.

Finally solved a long running battle with a repeatedly peeling bathroom ceiling. Great coverage and it does exactly what it says on the tin. Can't recommend highly enough.

fantastic after finish results

Great Item and arrived on time.

This stuff is amazing, just wish i had found a smaller pot. My kitchen ceiling paint was cracking and peeling down to the bare plaster. I scraped and sanded the areas. Applied a coat of this and then the next day i painted over the top. You cant see any ridges. Amazing product and easy to use.

Works ok, some paint still peeled

Seems to do what it's supposed to do. Covers well, perhaps more thin and runny than I expected it to be (I'm using paint which is much thicker than this) so need to be more aware of drips.

This product is brilliant as long as it’s used correctly. I’ve used Zinsser products before but not this particular one. I had some stone window sills ( previously painted with masonry paint) to re-paint and they were pretty flaky and chipped. Having spent a day with a scraper removing all the loose paint I decided I needed to prime the surface before applying more masonry paint. I checked out Zinsser because their products are usually excellent and came across this. So having read all the instructions you do need to prepare the surfaces well before using. I’d already removed the flaky paint so I needed to sand with a rough sandpaper and wash them off with my chosen cleaner to remove all grease and dirt and any mould and moss needed treatment too. Please note this product does not work on surfaces that are damper than 14 %. You can check with a damp meter. So wherever you are using it you must deal with any damp issues first. If you don’t your top paint surface will bubble. On opening the tin the peel stop is the consistency of milk. It needs to be this thin so it creeps under any raised edges to stick them down and stop them peeling. It applies really well with a brush and has great adhesion as long as you’ve done the preparation. The coverage is fantastic…it goes a long way. It dries in two to four hours depending on the weather. I found it was dry in two as it was warm and sunny. You can get away with one coat but if your surfaces are bad you can apply two. You are left with a slightly shiny surface. I left the window sills overnight and then applied two coats of masonry paint. The results were excellent. I had no bubbling, no peeling and despite the sills being over 120 years old they look great. I’m definitely going to try this on my bathroom ceiling as that does have a tendency to peel. So in conclusion this is a great product that does what it says it will as long as you follow the instructions and don’t apply on surfaces that require damp treatment.
