I painted an old smokey dresser that smelled like a Salvation Army store. Painted the wooden drawers with an amber shellac, think it was Zinnzer product. Has a sweet smell but sealed odor up.

Thanks for the video. My friend recommended Kel-Bond that’s how I found your video. Question: I want to skimcoat my textured walls/ceilings in my home which have been pained with paint that has some sheen to it. Would Kel-Bond work to prime the existing paint before I skimcoat over it?

You guys answered so many questions. Thanks. Keep it coming

The shellac primer is great and also sands extremely smooth, HOWEVER here in California, they have now banned denatured alcohol (thank you politicians....) which is needed for working with any shellac-based paint since alcohol is the solvent used for shellac. You can still clean with acetone, but it takes a lot more and more time and effort. Still though, I do love the stuff and nothing else compares.

What is the best primer for an antique tin ceiling that has peeling in a few spots? I’m painting black btw.

[bethstreeter]

So I thought I was gonna have a easy paint job in my house. Little to my knowledge that was not the case. I ran into the old paint peeling. I thought I knew what I was doing but clearly not. lol so with that ending said I tried to just paint the wall and it just peeled the paint off again. So which of these should I use to keep the edges down so I can spackle it sand it and paint

Question: considering PVA drywall primer is technically a sealer. Will prep sanding it prior to painting have a negative effect on its "sealing" abilities?? Thanks 😊

[jackwardley]

thats must have cost something shellacking the entire house bloody hell thats about £100 for 5l over here in U.K.

I always tell people that BIN primers claim to fame is that it sticks to everything.. and for people who have never used it.. BIN has a very strong odor but it's worth using

[richardgrey]

If the peel stop is clear, and the color I am covering is dark, relative to the new top coat, shouldn’t I be using a white tinted primer? The peel stop I purchased from Benjamin Moore is clear and I think it states, on the label, that it isn’t tintable .

[ChrisPuckett]

Still have nightmares from BIN(retired contractor), but no other primer comes close

What primer and finish paint is best for painting old stained cabinets

[blakerodenbaugh]

When you use BIN on a whole-house interior project, like the one you referred to with the cats, how did you apply it? Did you use a sprayer (or would you suggest that)?

[JamieAndrick]

I need a bonding primer that will cover OIL based paint

[ThousandPounder]

Shellac is made from bugs shells not poop.

[jessnystrom]

What primer should I use if I want to paint over wallpaper? Removing the paper is not an option as it was glued directly to the drywall…

[matthewlong]

What primer do you recommend for pine wood siding? It's brand new, on the exterior and is in a humid/hot environment six months of the year (Oklahoma). I have heard oil based is best for wood siding, but some people suggest an acrylic based primer is better because it lets the wood breath.

[wildmanofborneo]

Which one is better for blocking pet odors....BIN shellac or BIN synthetic shellac?

[robinirizarry]

Question from a fellow painter, On a job where certain walls keep blistering/bubbling. Ive primed they pop out, ive skim coated with mud they pop out and pva they pop out, put in a dehumidifier nothing works. Any thoughts

[cdmille]

What is the best product to use like in a bathroom where the paint is blistering from too much moisture? I scraped the areas and replastered the spots, then primed and painted but it started blistering again about a year later
