Zinsser® B-I-N® Advanced Synthetic Shellac Primer is a synthetic shellac-based primer sealer that provides excellent stain blocking for whole-surface interior priming and exterior spot priming. It combines fast dry time, low odor, excellent hide and stain blocking for new construction, remodeling and fire and water restoration. B-I-N Advanced may be used under and over any latex or oil-based architectural paint.
Use B-I-N Advanced to prime all types of bare or painted interior surfaces including wood, drywall, cured plaster, masonry, galvanized metal and PVC. B-I-N Advanced has excellent adhesion to dense, glossy surfaces such as enamel paints and varnishes, paneling, laminates, glass and ceramic tile without the need for sanding or de-glossing.
APPLICATION: Apply only when air, material, and surface temperatures are between 50-90ºF (10-32ºC) and the relative humidity is less than 85%.
Thoroughly mix or shake to ensure any settled pigment is re-dispersed before using. If thinning is required, add no more than 10 ounces of water per gallon. In most cases only one coat is necessary to prime most surfaces. If excessive absorption occurs over very porous substrates a second coat may be necessary. For best results, prime entire surface before painting. Apply with a high quality brush, 3/8” nap roller, or airless sprayer. Follow manufacturer's instructions when using spray equipment.
Airless spraying - use a 0.015-0.017" tip at 1700-2200 psi. Provide adequate ventilation at all times.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F and 50% relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to the touch in 25 minutes and can be recoated in 45 minutes. It is fully cured in 7 days. For knots and stain blocking, allow 2 hours to dry. When sealing water stains, some stain may appear in the primer film as it dries. The stain is locked and will not bleed into the topcoat.
