I wish I had watched your video "before" I used this primer! I poured it out!!! Ok sub optimal. Liked how well it covered and I used a roller. Was unprepared for how runny it was but now after watching your great tutorial I know how to apply my second coat and how to remain unpainted myself! Thanks for taking the time to post the video 🙂
Great video! I'm retired after 50 years in the trade. You cover the abc of pigmented shellac and make a video that Zinsser should pay for. Your application methods are brilliant, especially since you can't buy shellac thinner here in CA to clean tools (ammonia just doesn't cut it). Well done!
Wow switching to a foam roller changed everything for me. I did all the baseboards in the house with a paint brush. Now moving on to windows and doors and door frames. Good call on the $ store basically need to use a new roller for second coat. Not interested in wrapping it up in fridge like some people do. Thanks again for the foam roller tip. Made my life so much easier
Never thought I’d enjoy seeing wood grain covered in paint. I’ve never seen b I n shellac primer. I’ve retired from wood working for quite a while now. You’ve inspired me to try refurbishing furniture as a hobby once again using your techniques. I hope I do as well as you in creating wonderfull pieces.
I would like to add a tip as well.I have been using this product for years, especially on furniture. You mention having to use solvents for clean up.I also use inexpensive brushes from the dollar store, however, rather than having to throw away the brushes or use Mineral spirits or thinner, I have found, taking a clean, tin can, you can add about 2or 3 inches of amonia( also from dollar store and several tablespoons of dawn dish detergent, you can clean the brush with this mixture and rinse with water. You may have to repeat with the dawn/ammonia mixture one or two times, but it will save your brushes for future use after it dries.Of course, do this outside or well vented area as the ammonia is VERY stinky.
Zinsser B-I-N is excellent. For stain blocking, the trick is to leave the first coat on for a few hours to ensure the stain has been locked down in the first lay, as some stains are weird and unpredictable. Then apply a second coat. In most instances when using stain blocker, you will still see the stain, that does not mean the stain hasn't been locked in. The number one mistake most people make, that causes stain bleed through, is to apply the top coat too soon. Recently I used Zinsser 1-2-3 to try it out in a bathroom hard wall ceiling that was heavily stained. Because 1-2-3 is water based, I brushed on the first layer and left it overnight. Then the following morning applied a second coat, and left that for 2 hours before applying the topcoat of ceiling paint. The stain never reappeared again.
Thanks, this tutorial was very helpful, especially the part about using disposable supplies. Clean up is such a pain and I hate working with brush cleaners, they give me a headache. This BIN stuff works great on laminate surfaces too!
*I just spoke with Sherwin Williams:* And they told me about this primer which brought me Here! Although here in california you have to clean up with ammonia, *... Kills Original Paint Primer* And you can clean up with either *Paint Thiner or Lacker Thiner:* And if you're gonna paint your walls like you're doing cabinet tree you can paint your walls with this primer also.

Thanks for the tips on the cups and plates. So simple, it's genius! And why I never would have thought about it on my own, since I over-analyze things.
Awesome video. I've used this stuff on cabinets and found your video when trying to find better ways to apply it. It's so viscous that I have been making big messes, your demonstration is just what the doctor ordered.
Thanks for this excellent primer on how to use B-I-N shellac. (fun pun) I just completed my first true woodworking project - a small wall shelf. It came out great but the poplar I used (was given in the class) would not have looked great if I finished it. I will follow your steps to a T.
Love your suggestions. This primer is the best for bkeedthrough coverage. I’m taking several pieces from a very dark finish to white and don’t want to take any chances. Working in 22% humidity it dries so fast I am thinking of using an extender. Also you are wise to use a white paper plate. I used one with a pattern and the dye came out and mixed with the paint after a while 😮. Lesson learned.
💐Thank you for your tutorial, I used B.I.N today (I wore gloves and a mask) using a cheap disposable brush and found it a bit sticky and very fast drying. I will in future use cheap rollers. I find I have a few quite thick areas and some thinner. I guess this will all come good during sanding. Thanks again from Australia 🇦🇺
I used the BIN for the first time on a table and absolutely hated it. Very hard to use with a brush and had to throw away my purdy brush 😩 . I have to put a 3rd coat and so glad I found your video. Going to Home Depot to buy the roller thanks!!!!!!!!🥳😎
My sister said the EXACT same thing the first time she tried it Jackie! If you follow the tips in the video, you'll start loving it just like she did. Promise! 😉
i keep a bucket of denatured alcohol and keep my brush in it when not using it. just smack it back and forth on the edge of something to get most of the alcohol off of it and then use it. drop it back in the bucket in between uses. this will keep the brush from ever being sticky. i just leave my brush in there when not in use. my bucket is metal and has a lid that seals. i threw some magnets along the edge. the ferrule on my brushes are magnetic so the magnets hold my brushes upright so just the bristles and part of the ferrule are in the alcohol.
Thank you so much for posting this. I thought I had done all my homework before tackling an oak door that I had to paint white. This door was stained and the first coat of BIN looked awful. I really thought I had messed up. I stopped and found your video. I repeated and worked faster, it really dries fast. I did have to do 3 coats but it was so worth it. It turned out absolutely beautiful. I almost think it turned out so well, I am debating whether or not to paint it. Again, you were a calm in my storm, lol!
Hey, great video. I'm going to use this product to prime some new drywall in an outdoor garden room. Here is my proposed timetable, id be grateful if you could let me know if I'm doing it right? Thanks! - lightly sand drywall compound - Add first coat of BIN. Use rollers for main parts of wall, and paintbrush for edges - wait 30 mins - apply second coat like 1st coat - wait 2 hours - lightly sand with 220 grit paper - start painting! (All emulsion water based paints)
I like giving it two coats. If there is really bad bleed-through or staining - sometimes even 3 but 2 usually provides a perfect base coverage. And no. You don't need wax after a finishing coat of satin. :)
I used a roller with that stuff and it caused all the fuzzies to come off the roller into what I was painting. The primer dries so fast that it gets sticky which is what pulls the hairs out. The roller worked perfectly well with my normal paint, but not the primer.
Great video! I’m about to tackle my kitchen cabinets. Some doors are super greasy and I can’t get it all out even after sanding through almost bare wood. Can this block any grease spots?
my favorite way of applying pigmented shellac is HVLP spray. thinning 10% with alcohol, light sanding with 320 and I'm read to top coat. the down side is cleaning the spray gun, immediately after use.
I loved Dixie Belle's Gator Hide for high traffic areas because it is water repellent .. not just water-resistant like most but I think they are out of stock. :( So General Finishes High Performance, Varathane Topcoat or Minwax's Polycrylic are fabulous and would be my go-to's.
Hi, thank you for the video 😊 I have a few questions, if you dont mind : - if I accidently splash some primer on my furniture ( where there shouldnt be primer), how do I get it off? - and lets say I need to prime mahogany that has a glossy finish on it, do I need to sand my piece beforehand? And if so, will a light sanding be sufficient? I cant use a sander. Afterwards, I will be painting my piece with chalk paint. And I will sell it. Just want to ensure that the paint and primer will really adhere, that I wont be able to scratch it off with my nail... Thx a bunch 😊
Thanks! And ya, it's meant to be painted over. Because of the shellac content, it has a different sheen to it that makes it look like primer - not paint.
@@SalvagedInspirations thank you. Is there a time window after priming with this to cover in paint? Or can I be done anytime after it dries, even weeks or months later?
thanks so so much for all your input!! i have a few major projects that id like to give a facelift to and im trying to learn all the tricks and how to.
I used this for painting my exposed wood rafters white. Used a water-based first, and was heavily bleeding through straight away. Tried an oil based pigmented sealer, and even that bled through. Found this stuff, and it is great. I like its thin consistency, it dries almost shiny, like plastic, and covered the bleed 1st coat 100%. Other than the strong smell it is a dream primer
Yes! If it were my table and it was done a year ago, I would take a 120 grit and give it a really quick scuff sand before applying the BIN Shellac Based Primer. 😊
Zinsser says that you don't need to sand before applying. I have used this a lot, with and without sanding, the paint sticks to everything. I'd say, if you have to cover glossy surfaces like melamine or resin then it could be worth sanding just to ensure the surface is as clean as possible.
Thank you. Love the 'throw away' ideas, saves a lot of time. I use the 4" rollers for doors and used it on the cabinets, but tried foam brushes for the drawer fronts - oops, just not the same. AND, I'll definitely be the paper plates from now on. $.01 vs $1.00 for a disposable tray liner.
I’m glad n the habit of giving everything a scuff sanding before priming. With lacquered cabinet, I would scuff sand before applying the BIN for double reassurance. Kitchen cabinets are HIGH traffic. 👍
I plan to prime my kitchen cabinet doors and drawers outside but I have no choice but to do the boxes/frames in the house. Are the fumes horrible and how long for them to dissipate? I have a dog and 2 cats and can open windows and doors. Just not sure how bad of fumes we are talking about? I hope you see and answer soon. My cabinets are old polyurethane stained cabinets and this seems to be recommended to go over polyurethane. I love your video. Super informational and easy to follow! I just need some advice about fumes in the house?
Thank you for an extremely helpful video. Do you think BIN primer would help cover fine lines in door and window trim? I have sanded and primed with a standard trim primer, but the lines show through the primer.
Thanks and my pleasure. I'm not sure I'm understanding what type of "fine lines". If it is bleed through or stains then yes! If your trim primer is not covering the fine lines (cracks) then this BIN Shellac Based primer won't either. Hope this helps.
Do you know if the BIN primer will cover an deep set oil stain on a pine table top? I’m working on an old table that had a chain saw sitting on it for who knows how long! I’ve sanded and scrubbed with mineral spirits and it’s still there. Hoping BIN locks it in. Thank you! Love your videos!!! ♥️♥️♥️
It's covered oil blotches for me so I'm going to say yes! It's also covered burn marks, nail polish, water stains, and other stains I probably don't want to even know what they were...lol
I guess I would use dollar store brushes with the shellac also..But I use Woister for everything. And you definitely don't want to screw up a Wooster brush. Especially the short cut brush. I totally understand where you're this. Thx.
I just used this on my fireplace mantle and then read that it might be flammable? Any advice? Thank you!!! Also - I loved your video. I should have watched it first!
It's flammable in liquid and vapor form but I'm not sure once it's dry Ann. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer to ask. Or if anyone reading this comment has any insight feel free to chime in! TIA
I use this primer for everything. I never use disposable supplies. It cleans up easy with a little bit of Ammonia and then soap and water. Ammonia is cheap and it takes very little to clean the brushes. All of my brushes are years old.
@@torywhite2074 It takes very little to clean the brush. I pour a tiny bit (like a couple tablespoons)in a glass jar and add water. It cleans wicked easy with a tiny amount. It's watered down 50/50. I'm not pouring a large amount of ammonia down the drain.
@@torywhite2074 also, ammonia will remove the primer from your clothes, hands and other surfaces it may have gotten on... without damaging those things. Like a tiny bit on a cotton ball can clean up oopsies.
I am painting a cherry dining table and buffet with Fusion Mineral Paint in Casement (white). I plan to use BIN Shellac in white before I paint. I plan to seal with the top with Fusion's Tuff Coat which is water based. With using the BIN will it also prevent yellowing after I use the topcoat?
Hi Linda! It will prevent ALL stains coming from the cherry wood but if you were to use say an oil based topcoat over a white paint, the topcoat may still yellow/amber over time. That has nothing to do with the BIN blocking stains. I've never used Fusions tuff Coat so I'm not sure if its a non yellowing topcoat. Waterbased ones often are tho.
This video is probably too old but hope you still reply. Can you put Bin on laminate so the paint sticks or do I need a gripping primer. Any tips for laminate. Thanks
I sooo wish I would have seen this video before I used this primer, I never tape off mirrors with any products I use, however with this product I will DEFINITELY be taping off mirrors from now on it’s absolutely a nightmare to remove, I used a roller to apply it and it worked really well, I made the mistake of using a good brush (won’t do that again) this is seriously the fastest drying best working primer I have ever used, I don’t know why I waited so long to try it. The main reason I tried it is because I got bleed through after my topcoat and honestly it didn’t happen for almost a full week, the client was on vacation (thank God) so couldn’t pick up their pieces immediately, I was unwrapping my packing blankets to prepare the pieces for travel and that’s when I saw the bleed through. I will never use another primer again.
REALLY good ventilation is need Amor... and no, I would not have children or pets within close proximity when using this primer. Not only for the fume aspect but also for safety reasons. I once got some of this primer on my ponytail and then whipped it in my eye (I know... what are the chances, right?!) but accidents do happen.
I'm at my limit with this stuff. I bought this to paint my IKEA Billy bookcases. I used the exact same roller, sanded everything and no matter what I do, it makes the worst globs and lines! It looks like an orange peal. None of the people in the paint store told me this was toxic enough that I'd have to wear a mask, goggles or any of that. I'm an absolute mess over this. When you are painting with this, is the finish smooth or are you also seeinf every hair, every line, every build up blob?
She seems to answer this a couple times in the comments. Make sure they are high density foam rather than the low density foam rollers that have larger holes
I primed an antique desk and China cabinet in Kilz premium 3 and can see bleed through. Can I put this on top of that primer or do I have to sand the other off first?
Has anyone used this with an airless sprayer? Seems plenty thin enough to use it that way and may make larger projects go faster and get an even coat into all the seems. I'm planning to re-do my golden oak kitchen.

Shellac dissolves in alcohol / meths. Which isn't that expensive but it's easier to clean with than white spirit after using alkyd paints.
I used equal parts household ammonia and water and let my brushes sit in it. Worked great!

Do you allways give two coats...you mentioned a wax after finish coat ,is that needed if you use satin finish for kitchen units...thanks
I like giving it two coats. If there is really bad bleed-through or staining - sometimes even 3 but 2 usually provides a perfect base coverage. And no. You don't need wax after a finishing coat of satin. :)

No, it doesn't. I always use wood filler or Bondo for any imperfections - and then prime.
How do you prep to spay it?
Exactly the same way. 😊
Are you
sanding before primer
Yes, I'm in the habit of giving all my furniture a scuff sanding before painting and priming.
@SalvagedInspirations thanks.
Just a scuff, wipe dust off and you begin?
Exactly! This is a bonding primer and adheres really well. @@DaughterOfChrist333
no sanding necessary? I have kitchen cabinets im refurbing. They have lacquer finish.
I’m glad n the habit of giving everything a scuff sanding before priming. With lacquered cabinet, I would scuff sand before applying the BIN for double reassurance. Kitchen cabinets are HIGH traffic. 👍
I plan to prime my kitchen cabinet doors and drawers outside but I have no choice but to do the boxes/frames in the house. Are the fumes horrible and how long for them to dissipate? I have a dog and 2 cats and can open windows and doors. Just not sure how bad of fumes we are talking about? I hope you see and answer soon. My cabinets are old polyurethane stained cabinets and this seems to be recommended to go over polyurethane.
I love your video. Super informational and easy to follow! I just need some advice about fumes in the house?
Sooooo very helpful!!! I hate cleaning my brushes and rollers and you have just confirmed to me that it is ok to toss out. Thanks!!
I feel the exact same Wendy! Glad it was helpful. 😄🥰
Does the shellac primer work okay over veneer repaired with bondo or wood filler before painting?
YES!
Great video! Thanks for such great instructions!
Thanks for watching. :)
Thank you for an extremely helpful video. Do you think BIN primer would help cover fine lines in door and window trim? I have sanded and primed with a standard trim primer, but the lines show through the primer.
Thanks and my pleasure. I'm not sure I'm understanding what type of "fine lines". If it is bleed through or stains then yes! If your trim primer is not covering the fine lines (cracks) then this BIN Shellac Based primer won't either. Hope this helps.
@@SalvagedInspirations thanks!!
Thanks for a great video Denise.
thank YOU for watching! :)
Do you know if the BIN primer will cover an deep set oil stain on a pine table top? I’m working on an old table that had a chain saw sitting on it for who knows how long! I’ve sanded and scrubbed with mineral spirits and it’s still there.
Hoping BIN locks it in.
Thank you! Love your videos!!! ♥️♥️♥️
It's covered oil blotches for me so I'm going to say yes! It's also covered burn marks, nail polish, water stains, and other stains I probably don't want to even know what they were...lol
Salvaged Inspirations I used Kilz, it appears to have sealed it.
Bin saved my life!
Thanks you video was helpful, can IPN primer be used as the finish Coat of Paint? I liked the finish so much I didn’t want to paint over it 😢
Can I use this to prime then paint over with black?
I guess I would use dollar store brushes with the shellac also..But I use Woister for everything. And you definitely don't want to screw up a Wooster brush. Especially the short cut brush. I totally understand where you're this. Thx.
I just used this on my fireplace mantle and then read that it might be flammable? Any advice? Thank you!!! Also - I loved your video. I should have watched it first!
It's flammable in liquid and vapor form but I'm not sure once it's dry Ann. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer to ask. Or if anyone reading this comment has any insight feel free to chime in! TIA
Wonderful video, thank you!
Have you ever tried Kilz 3 primer?
No I have not.
@@SalvagedInspirations which paint would you recommend for cabinets? I'm having a hard time deciding between ben moore and sherwin williams
Is this considered a bonding primer? Can you spray this through a paint gun?
Yes and Yes! :)
Can this primer used on unfinished poplar kitchen cabinet doors?
It sure can!
Very useful just about to do kitchen cabinets thank you
I hope your cabinets turned out amazing!
I use this primer for everything. I never use disposable supplies. It cleans up easy with a little bit of Ammonia and then soap and water. Ammonia is cheap and it takes very little to clean the brushes. All of my brushes are years old.
Is it okay to put down the drain with the ammonia?
@@torywhite2074 It takes very little to clean the brush. I pour a tiny bit (like a couple tablespoons)in a glass jar and add water. It cleans wicked easy with a tiny amount. It's watered down 50/50.
I'm not pouring a large amount of ammonia down the drain.
@@torywhite2074 also, ammonia will remove the primer from your clothes, hands and other surfaces it may have gotten on... without damaging those things. Like a tiny bit on a cotton ball can clean up oopsies.
@@pearlespainting thank you!!!
I am painting a cherry dining table and buffet with Fusion Mineral Paint in Casement (white). I plan to use BIN Shellac in white before I paint. I plan to seal with the top with Fusion's Tuff Coat which is water based. With using the BIN will it also prevent yellowing after I use the topcoat?
Hi Linda! It will prevent ALL stains coming from the cherry wood but if you were to use say an oil based topcoat over a white paint, the topcoat may still yellow/amber over time. That has nothing to do with the BIN blocking stains. I've never used Fusions tuff Coat so I'm not sure if its a non yellowing topcoat. Waterbased ones often are tho.
@@SalvagedInspirations Yes it is non yellowing. Thank you! I used Dixie Belle BOSS and I had bleed through and yellowing so im a little paranoid!
@@SalvagedInspirations On the BIN can it says not to use TSP but to use a solvent based cleaner. what do you use?
Have you used water based paints on top of the BIN primer?
Thanks
Yes, i do all the time. I primarily use chalk paints, mineral paints and latex... all are water-based :).
@@SalvagedInspirations Awesome. I really appreciate the video!!
This video is probably too old but hope you still reply. Can you put Bin on laminate so the paint sticks or do I need a gripping primer. Any tips for laminate. Thanks
Yes, you can use BIN on laminate, ceramics, tile, wood etc. It is a bonding primer with exceptional adhesion. BIN is a gripping primer.
Thank you for this! So helpful and to the point!
Thanks Bernadette! :)
I sooo wish I would have seen this video before I used this primer, I never tape off mirrors with any products I use, however with this product I will DEFINITELY be taping off mirrors from now on it’s absolutely a nightmare to remove, I used a roller to apply it and it worked really well, I made the mistake of using a good brush (won’t do that again) this is seriously the fastest drying best working primer I have ever used, I don’t know why I waited so long to try it. The main reason I tried it is because I got bleed through after my topcoat and honestly it didn’t happen for almost a full week, the client was on vacation (thank God) so couldn’t pick up their pieces immediately, I was unwrapping my packing blankets to prepare the pieces for travel and that’s when I saw the bleed through. I will never use another primer again.
I hear you and agree. This BIN Shellac primer is awesome. :)
U can easily clean with alcohol.
Do you need to sand the furniture before applying the BIN
I'm in the habit of giving all my pieces a scuff sanding before primer but NO, this is a bonding primer that sticks and adheres w/o sanding.
Is this safe to use around children and pets? Planning to use it for baseboards and trim
REALLY good ventilation is need Amor... and no, I would not have children or pets within close proximity when using this primer. Not only for the fume aspect but also for safety reasons. I once got some of this primer on my ponytail and then whipped it in my eye (I know... what are the chances, right?!) but accidents do happen.
I'm at my limit with this stuff. I bought this to paint my IKEA Billy bookcases. I used the exact same roller, sanded everything and no matter what I do, it makes the worst globs and lines! It looks like an orange peal. None of the people in the paint store told me this was toxic enough that I'd have to wear a mask, goggles or any of that. I'm an absolute mess over this. When you are painting with this, is the finish smooth or are you also seeinf every hair, every line, every build up blob?
What roller do you like to use for BIN? It always seems to eat up my foam rollers ! Which is fine.. just end up going through 2 or 3 for one project!
She seems to answer this a couple times in the comments. Make sure they are high density foam rather than the low density foam rollers that have larger holes
@@betsyandall thank you!!
I primed an antique desk and China cabinet in Kilz premium 3 and can see bleed through. Can I put this on top of that primer or do I have to sand the other off first?
have you ever used BIN Synthetic Shellac Interior Sealer primer? it's synthetic shellac so it's water based. less smelly lol!
I haven't tried any brand of synthetic shellacs as of yet. I heard Sherwin Williams has a good one though.
So I have a peice 4 coats shellac tannis still showing, any suggestions
Has anyone used this with an airless sprayer? Seems plenty thin enough to use it that way and may make larger projects go faster and get an even coat into all the seems. I'm planning to re-do my golden oak kitchen.
Can I use a wood stain on top of the primer?
Did you grain fill before you applied the primer??
