Q:Will this block tannin bleeding?
by|Apr 9, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Thanks for reaching out, Angie. While Zinsser Bulls Eye Zero Primer is an excellent primer, to block tannin bleed we recommend using Zinsser Cover Stain Primer. This primer ideal is for interior or exterior use such as sealing exterior wood and blocking tanning bleed, it can be top coated with any oil or water based paint. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Cover-Stain-1-qt-White-Oil-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-3504/100398403 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6

    Q:This listing says a primer AND a sealer(a two pack). What kind of sealer is it??
    by|Feb 3, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Happy to help! Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye Zero Water-Based Primer seals unpainted porous surfaces, extending the coverage of the topcoat. This is not considered a waterproofing product, and it will need to be topcoated with an opaque coating to ensure full durability. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

      Q:Does this block/seal odors, specifically from cigarette smoke?
      by|May 1, 2022
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  WE appreciate your interest. While Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye Zero Water-Based Primer is great for blocking stains, it is not an odor block primer. Instead, we recommend Rust-Oleum Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Based Primer for odor and stain blocking. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-1-gal-B-I-N-Shellac-Based-White-Interior-Primer-and-Sealer-00901/100398381 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

          Better than Regular Bullseye
          I had both the regular VOC and the Zero VOC primer and I feel the zero VOC had better coverage than the regular. Not odorless but much less odor. I was so sick and dizzy with the regular bullseye. I didn’t have that with the Zero.

            I put it over pine with an oil-based finish. Worked very well. However, I probably will put two coats of primer to be sure to seal any knots or sap as I am using a very light gray as a final paint. Great stuff, I only wish they sold it in single gallons - I had to buy a package of two.

              You are correct, Zinsser Bulls Eye Zero Water-Based Interior/Exterior Primer and Sealer does have an odor. The “Zero” in the description stands for the fact that it has no VOCs or hazardous pollutants without compromising the blocking, sealing or hiding power. We are happy to talk further and are interested to find out how the miscommunication occurred. For an ultra low odor primer, use Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water Based Primer. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Bulls-Eye-1-2-3-1-gal-White-Water-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-4-Pack-2001/202058885 Rustoleum
