    Answer This Question

    A:  Great question! While Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer can be used for most stains, we do not recommend it for water stains. Instead, we recommend an oil-based primer, such as Rust-Oleum Zinsser Cover Stain Oil-Based 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

        Q:I did 2 coats on clean, new laminate cabinets and let it cure for over a week but it still scrapes off easily with a fingernail. What am I doing wrong? Does it just need a top coat of cabinet enamel? Or will that peel, too?

        Answer This Question

        A:  Happy to clear things up! For full durability, Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer must be topcoated with an opaque topcoat. Since the primer has fully cured, which takes 7 days in ideal conditions, you will need to either lightly sand the primer or apply a new coat. This will ensure your topcoat fully adheres to the primer. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

              Answer This Question

              A:  Thank you for reaching out, Linda! The surface must be allowed to fully dry after raining before priming with Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer. This will be dependent on the humidity levels and temperatures. You also want to ensure that the relative humidity is below 85% when priming. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
