Q:We enclosed our porch and would like to paint the 60 year old knotty pine ceiling. What is the best primer to use? I don't know what type of finish it has currently, my guess is that it has a shellac finish.

Answer This Question

A:  Happy to help! When using Rust-Oleum Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Based Primer on exterior surfaces, even with enclosed porches, it can be used as a spot primer only. We recommend using this primer to spot prime knots in the wood prior to priming the whole surface with Rust-Oleum Zinsser Cover Stain Oil-Based Primer. This will ensure lasting results with the B-I-N Primer. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Cover-Stain-1-gal-White-Oil-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-3501/100398377 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

            The only primer I will ever use!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living on the gulf coast, the humidity and salt in the air molds, mildews, and rusts everything! Preventative maintenance is key to any decor or furnishings you wish to keep outside. I also upcycle used furniture, and this primer is a must for the base of any project. I use this on wood and concrete. It lays like a dream and dries flat. Even if I apply it thick, it self-levels perfectly. There are no brush strokes or air bubbles making your top coat smooth and flat. I have enclosed one of my projects that had terrible mold and mildew that I brought back to life. Not only does this cover unsightly mold stains, it prevents any further moisture or humidity from warping the wood. This primer has made it through 2 rainy seasons without any signs of wear. I truly use it on anything I can to keep pricey items looking like new.

              Best Primer!
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Zinsser Primer is the best in the market. It does a great job at covering dark colors and it is easy to use. It doesn’t have an overpowering smell and it dries fast. It did an amazing job at covering the dark gray on the wall. I only needed one coat of the lighter colors to complete my project. I recommend it hands down.

                  Works beautifully!
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is hands down, the easiest to use primer I have used while repainting our walls and decks. The application was very smooth. Dryingwas fast. Didn'tmess with pigments and was evenly blended in its can. My new walls look beautiful again! It's holding up against scuffs and dirty little hands! I highly recommend this primer for anything or project that requires it! Especially in high traffic areas (like walls you lean against to take off shoes or a kid's room)!

                      Best primer you can buy.
                      This is probably one of the best primers you can buy. I bought it to seal torn drywall so I could properly repair it with mud without causing blisters to form. It works great! I also used it to prime over dry erase paint and old dry erase marker that would not come off. The primer had no issues adhering to the slick dry erase paint. I applied 2 coats over the areas with dry erase maker. The only cons are the vapors are strong and it’s thin which can cause drips. I highly recommend this product!

                        Terrible results, used exactly per directions
                        See my photos. Uneven marks, left white discoloration, brush and roller marks was like cottage cheese after it was mixed. Not sure why all the rave, this stuff was terrible. I prepped my wood, sanded, and look at the photos. Awful application and results.

                        We need to know more to get to the bottom of this Tyler. Zinsser B-I-N Shellac Based Primer should not be the consistency of cottage cheese, it should be perfectly smooth. Give us a call at 888-855-1774 so we can hear more about your application and work to make things right.
