Don't let any time go to waste when you're decorating indoor or outdoor surfaces. If you use this Zinsser Cover Stain primer-sealer, your new wood trim can be primed, sanded and top-coated all on the same day.
Cover Stain will be touch-dry in 35 minutes, and recoatable in two hours - this fast-acting primer will help you get the job done quicker, saving you time and money. A generous coverage of up to 9.8m² per litre ensures each tin goes a long way, and it can be used under any solvent-based or water-based topcoat.
On interior surfaces, the quick-drying Cover Stain has great hiding power and permanently seals stains of all kinds - you can be confident your topcoats will be blemish-free. It is especially effective on nicotine and water stains.
Outdoors, Cover Stain's unique formulation delivers full penetration and flexibility on all surfaces, especially dimensionally unstable wood panelling and trim - few oil-based primers can succeed here. It resists cracking and peeling and is compatible with all decorative top coats.
