Shellac-Base Primer is a primer-
sealer/stain killer/bond coat recommended for application
to interior ceilings, walls, doors, trim, cabinets, furniture
and related paintable surfaces. Exterior uses are limited to
spot priming only. May be used to block water, grease,
rust, smoke, asphalt, graffiti, and many other types of
stains.
INTERIOR
Apply to new and previously painted drywall, plaster, wood
(pine, fir, cedar, redwood, plywood), metal (aluminum,
stainless steel, galvanized metal), vinyl, PVC, fiberglass
and masonry (stucco, concrete block, concrete, brick). For
exterior surfaces, apply to new or previously painted wood
(pine, fir, Cedar, Redwood, T-111, plywood, pressure-
treated wood), hardboard, glass, metal (aluminum,
stainless steel galvanized metal), PVC, rigid plastics,
aluminum and vinyl siding, fiberglass and masonry
(stucco, concrete block, concrete, brick). Blocks stains and
odors resulting from water & fire damage, seals stains
from dark colors, grease, rust, creosote, asphalt, crayon,
lipstick, graffiti, markers, knots, sap streaks, tannin bleed,
etc.
EXTERIOR
Use B-I-N Shellac-Base Primer to spot prime persistent
bleed from knots and sap streaks before full surface
priming with a water-based or oil-based primer.
SEALING
B-I-N seals unpainted or porous surfaces so topcoat
paints have better coverage. It fills and binds wood fibers
to create a smooth, sealed surface with “enamel holdout”
so fewer coats of paint are needed. Very porous surfaces
may require two coats which may reduce the square foot
coverage of the product.
STAIN BLOCKING
B-I-N is an excellent interior stain killing primer. One coat
effectively blocks stains, including water, nicotine, ink,
crayon, marker, rust and smoke stains so they will not
bleed into the topcoat. Some stains require a second coat.
B-I-N is recommended for permanently sealing heavy fire
and water stains and odors caused by fires. It also seals in
urine and other animal odors and is recommended for
sealing nicotine stains and odors from tobacco.

PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free of dust, dirt,
excessive chalky material, grime, grease, oil, wax, mildew,
wallpaper adhesive, or any contamination that may
interfere with adhesion. If unsure of cleanliness, always
wash surface with household ammonia and water solution,
appropriate cleaning solution or solvent (do not use TSP
as a cleaner). Remove any peeling and/or unsound
coatings. Sand any remaining paint film edges smooth
with the surface. Remove existing stains by washing,
sanding, scraping, etc. Countersink exposed nail heads,
spot prime and fill all nail holes and gouges with Ready-
Patch
®
spackling compound or equally suitable material.
Lightly sand exposed exterior wood with 80 to 100 grit
sandpaper to remove loose or weathered wood fibers.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you
may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO
LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS
BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.
PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID
EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-Approved respirator to
control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA
vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to
protect yourself and your family by contacting the National
Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to
www.epa.gov/lead.
PLASTER & CONCRETE
New plaster must age 30 days before application of B-I-N
Shellac-Base Primer. Concrete, plaster, masonry and
related surfaces must be fully cured before priming.
