Can this product be used to seal areas of drywall that have the paper torn off?

Can this product be used to seal areas of drywall that have the paper torn off?
Asked by: Bob
Yes. I have used this product before to fix drywall that has had the top paper town off. I prime with this first, make the repair, prime again and then topcoat. Seems to do the trick

Will this product really cover nicotine stains? Has anyone used it to cover nicotine stain?

Will this product really cover nicotine stains? Has anyone used it to cover nicotine stain?
Asked by: Mike
When I bought my house the windows were so dirty from nicotine that you could not see out to the street. Yes, this works well on nicotine stains but it's so important to clean the areas properly before applying the primer. Some of the nicotine stains I had didn't come completely clean and this did the trick. Good luck.

Pressure Treated Exterior wood use?

Can I use this on newly installed Pressure Treated wood as a primer for latex paint?
Asked by: GarageProject16
It is fantastic for pressure treated wood. The wood must be dried out for 6 months to a year first and must be dry and clean before priming, also if the wood turned gray, use a wood cleaner first. Scrub or pressure wash with cleaner

Cover Stain 1 gal. White High Hide Oil-Based Interior/Exterior Primer and Sealer is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 49.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from used to fix wallpaper in place over drywall Thirty-five years ago I put wall-paper on drywall that I had not sized; I learned later sizing would not have mattered; the wall-paper glue would have penetrated through the sizing used in 1980s. Then, twenty years later, I put on new wall-paper (which only my wife liked) right over the first one. As time went by, finally she tired of that wall-paper and it was time for a change. Painting was the only option; wall-paper would be too expensive and I just don't want to wall-paper. I knew that to remove the wall-paper would be a disaster. From the Internet, I learned that putting latex paint directly onto the wall-paper would be a disaster. The elegant solution was wash the wall-paper and put on three coats of Zinsser Cover-Stain. Perhaps three coats was over-kill but I did not want to have any hint of a problem with latex-paint. The entire job was an overwhelming success. I do suggest to only use this product when you can have the windows open overnight.
