I have painted paneling with interior primer, satin. With any scratch the paint peels off the walls. Can I paint this as an over coat to keep it from peeling?

Unfortunately no this would not be suitable for this application. The best cause of action would be to removed the loose and flaking paint, prepare the area making sure it is clean, dry and sound then reapply a suitable paint system.

Hi Have given a ceiling one coat of emulsion but some patches look like the skin of an orange. If I sand down is peel stop ok to be applied over emulsion paint? Ian Thanks

This product can be applied over previously painted substrates, but is not suitable for this application. It is designed to seal small cracks or gaps through the paint and not to level an uneven finish.

Hi, I have stripped wallpaper and have flaking/peeling emulsion underneath. I’ve scraped/sanded most off but I’m thinking about coating all walls with Stop Peel to ensure a sound substrate for re-papering. Can I re-paper over Stop Peel or should I: Stop Peel, repaint then re-paper or, would you recommend an alternation preparation. Thank you.

Peel Stop is designed for problem interior / exterior painted surfaces that exhibit chalking, alligatoring, cracking, flaking and peeling that are required to be overpainted not wall papered. We would recommend sanding the substrate back to remove any flaking material before applying wall paper.

Hi, removed wallpaper from a room and then wiped it down with sugar soap. Once it was dried, I used Dulux Matt Emulsion Undercoat. However, two coats later the paint is cracking all over the room and looks like fine lines all over. It is not peeling but cracking. Would a layer of Peel Stop prevent cracking on a new coat of emulsion? Thanks.

This sounds like excess paste residues, Zinsser Gardz is the only Zinsser product that can seal these in. Ideally you would apply this straight after removing the wallpaper before the Dulux emulsion. It might pay to do a test area with the Gardz over a painted section, let it cure overnight then try a coat of emulsion and see if the problem has been cured. The Gardz doesn’t fill the cracks but it does seal the paste allowing you to paint over. If the visual appearance of the cracks are an issue they will need to sand down the walls to a smooth finish first then apply the Gardz. (Zinsser Peel Stop will not work).

Hi, I had a bad experience today whilst painting a room, the roller was pulling the freshly applied paint off the wall, I managed to get it on in the end but had to go round after patching up, this is the first coat and it looks like the second coat will go on successfully as I have painted a test area when paint was dry. However I did some research this evening and found the problem to be that I was painting Dulux Easycare matt over a previously painted silk vinyl wall. I am now aware of the issue. My question is that if the Easycare paint cracks can I use Zinsser peal stop to coat the walls and then apply another coat of Dulux Easy care. Thanks for your help. Kind Regards Mr Gordon Gill

If the Easycare starts to crack or craze you would need to sand the surface back to a sound substrate then apply Zinsser Peel Stop. It won’t bind down poorly adhering paint. If you had primed first with Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 this would have prevented the problem from occurring.

Can I use peel stop on walls with exposed plaster and peeling paint work?

Zinsser Peel Stop is suitable for previously painted drywall, plaster, cement, concrete, or stucco walls and ceilings; wood doors, windows, baseboards and trim.

Hi, I have a problem with cracking flaking paint in my kitchen. I have scraped off the flakey paint and sanded over but it now needs to be filled, should I fill first then coat with peel stop? Also, the flaking is in patches on the walls, should I paint all ofnthe walls or just the problem areas? Any advice would be greatly received! Thanks

Zinsser Peel Stop may be applied to seal the edges of the paint once they have been brought to a sound feathered edge. This product will not soak through the paint, so only the edges need to be painted, following which a primer and decorative top coat may be applied once dry, 2 hours in normal drying conditions. The Peel Stop can be applied after the required areas have been filled.

Can I use Zinsser Peel Stop as a stabiliser before applying Sandtex Masonry Paint? I've scraped off bubbling paint etc but I am concerned about stopping paint edges peeling and chalky patches.

Yes absolutely, Zinsser Peel Stop can be overcoated with most types of paint so any water based or solvent based Sandtex Paint will be fine.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour
