Questions & Answers
I applied this to a dresser 3 months ago but when the room is closed the smell is still quite intense. What can be done to remove the chemical smell?
We're happy to help! If there are lingering smells after Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye SealCoat Universal Sanding Sealer we recommend rubbing the surface with a rag lightly dampened with denatured alcohol. You may also consider ventilating the area by opening windows and using fans. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
I am using this as a bonding coat between an old oil based wood floor finish and a water based polyurethane floor paint. After applying this product do I need to sand it before applying the polyurethane floor paint even if applying within 24 hrs of this ?
Great question, Brian! No, sanding is not required in between coats. Please keep in mind that Rust-Oleum Zinsser SealCoat Universal Sanding Sealer requires two coats when using it as a bond coat. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
Can I use this to seal in the lingering smell (going on for over a month) of a floor that was stained / polyurethaned? And then leave it as a final finish?
Great question! While Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye Seal Coat Universal Sanding Sealer can be used as a finish sealer. It is not considered to be an odor sealer. We can provide a few tips to help with the lingering smell. Open windows fully when possible and have fans running. Also, washing the cured surface with soap and water can help remove any solvents that may have been left behind on the floor. Please remember, warmer temperatures will accelerate, and colder temperatures will prolong this product's drying time. Give this a try and if you still have trouble, feel free to reach us at 800-901-0411. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
Can I use an oil based stain over Bulls eye sealcoat?
Great question! Yes, Rust-Oleum Zinsser SealCoat Universal Sanding Sealer can be used under an oil-based wood stain. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
Can SealCoat Universal Sanding Sealer be used over joints joined with hide glue?
The Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye SealCoat Universal Sanding Sealer is designed for use on wood surfaces, and isn't necessarily the best choice for your joints. You want to steer away from water-based so that it doesn't reactive the glue. For this, you may want to consider the Rust-Oleum Zinsser BIN Shellac-Based Primer. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-1-gal-B-I-N-Shellac-Based-White-Interior-Primer-and-Sealer-320991/100398381 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 1
Can this be applied with a sprayer?
Thank you for reaching out! Our Zinsser SealCoat Universal Sanding Sealer may be sprayed using conventional, HVLP, or airless spray. Use a 0.011 to 0.013 tip and 800-1000 psi for airless spray application. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the best results. We recommend wearing a NIOSH approved respirator and providing adequate ventilation during the application. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2
Can this product be used on butcher block countertop
Hi Steve, we do not recommend using our Zinsser SealCoat Universal Sanding Sealer on butcher blocks or countertops.
