How To Paint Straight Over High Gloss Varnish

Yet again I have used this primer by Zinsser called B.I.N Aqua. It went on nice and thick and didn't stain or tan when dried. Also did a scratch test and it came up trumps. Great primer to always carry on board to every job as it does everything even knotting and its water based. Amazing.

Love the bin aqua. Used it on a water damage ceilng 2 coats over water damage ceiling. I'm at home this week. Painting a varnished fireplace and window sill in aquaguard. I'm going to hit it with the bins aqua beforehand. This stuff is top notch 😊

Amazing gear but pricey mate. Keep up the good work fella 🔥🌟👍🏻

Great job. Did you have to sand the varnished wood before applying the Bin Aqua?

bought some from Brewers Decorator Centre in Bedford yesterday as they really recommended it too

palatine satin msp light sand 2 coats done looking £70 for 5 litres. its a pre 2010 oil based paint as they are a small firm didn't have to change formula's like dulux crown etc so it would be a lot more durable and will stay white for years

Would you now use this over 123plus? Seem the same other that the knotting capability of BIN Aqua - 1 tin now does it all. Cheers

Going to check this out, for sure. What are you using for your woodwork paints these days, Dan? Like your gloss, stain wood, egg shells, undercoats, etc. I’m trying to move away from using oil as well.

Hi, can I use an oil based paint directly on top of this bin aqua?

🤔🤔🤔 I've used it for water stain and didn't block it, I had to go back to cover stain that worked, I'll have to keep trying aqua before I'm fully converted to it.

If it's a traffic surface I never skip sanding or deglossing before priming, as good as ZIN is, it really makes a difference to the permanency of the top coat.

Had some water leaks on the bathroom ceiling, which have now dried out & left stains. The roof has now been fixed. I'll give Bin Aqua a try. Cheers for sharing 👍

I used it and it’s not as good as traditional bin trust me I rubbed down two stained doors with knots and washed them with meths then applied two primers for two different doors next day I did the scratch test and the water based failed and knots didn’t seal. Painter for 32 years Uk
