Questions & Answers
I had cat urine issue in my basement on cement walls and floor. My professional cleaner recommended this primer to be used after his work was completed. I see other comments stating do not use, please clarify.
We are happy to clear this up! Rust-Oleum Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Based Primer can be applied to concrete walls and floors to seal in pet odors. As long as the floor is going to either be painted with a 1-part floor paint or have a flooring applied over it, like carpet, hardwood flooring, tile, laminate, etc. We recommend a minimum of 2 coats of B-I-N. The goal is to have a solid film of the primer to seal in the odor. Allow 45 minutes to 1 hour between coats. Allow the primer to cure for 1 to 3 days before painting or installing any flooring. — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
Previous owner allowed cat to urinate on cement in basement. I have tried over 5 different methods to clean and eliminate odor, all without avail. Will this product work on cement and eliminate feline urine odor for good?
Try an enzymatic cleaner/deodorizer designed for pet urine.
We appreciate your interest. While Rust-Oleum Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Based Primer can be used to block odors on most surfaces, it is not suitable for use on cement or concrete floors. The primer will not offer lasting results with this type of application. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
It says this is good for spot priming exterior. Does that mean it’s not good for bigger areas or say using it to primer all of the exterior on the side of your house
You are on the right track! Rust-Oleum Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Base Primer is intended only for spot priming knots to prevent tanning bleeding. You may consider using Rust-Oleum Zinsser Cover Stain Oil-Base Primer. This is a great primer for exterior wood surfaces and can have an oil- or water-based paint applied over it after an hour. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Cover-Stain-1-gal-White-Oil-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-3501/100398377 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
Is this product sprayable?
Yes, Fred! You can apply Rust-Oleum Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Base Primer with a natural or synthetic (nylon, polyester, or blend) bristle brush, roller, or sprayer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using spray equipment. For airless spraying, use a 0.011"-0.013” tip at 800 to 1200 psi. If a conventional sprayer is used, spray at 45-55 psi. Wear an NIOSH-approved respirator and provide adequate ventilation. These details are found on the technical data sheet. https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/70/7009bcc5-ba00-4e81-90ee-45ea3bf47615.pdf - Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
Will this set off a smoke detector while being used
We are glad to tell you, Brian, that Rust-Oleum Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Base Primer does not emit any smoke during the application or curing process, so it will not set off a smoke detector. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
Can you use on a popcorn ceiling?
We are happy to let you know that Rust-Oleum Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Base Primer can be used on popcorn ceilings if the surface is completely dry. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
Best way to clean sprayers
Great question, Rick. To clean sprayers after using Rust-Oleum Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Base Primer, we recommend following the spray equipment manufacturer’s directions for cleaning shellac-based coatings. Clean up spills and paint drips with denatured alcohol or ammoniated detergent. If spills or drips have dried, use denatured alcohol or ammoniated detergent to soften and remove the primer. Wash application tools in a solution of 1 part ammonia and 3 parts water immediately after use. If product has dried on application tools, soak tools overnight in a solution of equal parts ammonia and water and scrub clean with a stiff brush. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
Do I need to sand before applying a water based top coat?
We are delighted to answer this for you! If Rust-Oleum Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Base Primer is topcoated within 24 hours, there is no need to sand it first. If you topcoat after 24 hours, sand the surface and ensure it is completely clean and dry before applying the finish coat. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 15

Customers say this shellac-based primer is highly effective for blocking stains and odors, particularly from smoke and pet urine. Many appreciate its quick drying time and strong adhesion, making it suitable for various surfaces including wood and laminate. However, users note that it has a strong odor during application and can be runny, requiring careful handling to avoid drips. Overall, it is regarded as a premium product that delivers excellent results, albeit at a higher price point.
