Thank you for your enquiry, the external diameter of a 2.5L tin is 155mm, and the height is 155mm, however we have no access to confirm what the internal measurements are.

If you could e-mail [email protected] with further details for your request, we maybe able to assist further. 

Thank you for the enquiry, we have contacted you directly for more information.

This primer can be over painted in 45mins, it develops full adhesion at 1 to 3 days and we would recommend overpainting before this point.

For application over Zinsser B-I-N we can recommend Zinsser Perma-White Interior.

This is available in many RAL and BS colours in a matt or satin finish.

Assuming the surfaces are clean, dry and prepared as detailed in the Technical Data sheet we can recommend Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 for this application if a compatible product is also used as a top coat. This is a waterbased primer.

Zinsser B-I-N is recommended for application on internal varnished surfaces before painting. Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Matt, Satin or Gloss can be applied directly to external varnished surfaces once they are clean and have been lightly abraded.

Zinsser B-I-N is not water based, it is based on shellac. Do not thin this product, application can be carried out by the following methods;

• Brush, Roller or Pad – Use natural or synthetic (nylon, polyester or blend)
• Airless Sprayer – Use .011” – .013” tip @ 800–1, 200 PSI
• Conventional Sprayer – Spray at 45 – 55 PSI

We would suggest Zinsser Perma-White Interior as a topcoat in the colour and finish of your choice. Satin as a finish in our opinion would be a better choice for cupboards.

Zinssser B-I-N is the correct primer to seal discolouration from knots. Best not to sand these areas as this can reactivate the sap in the knots. Wipe the discoloured patches with methylated spirits then apply 1-2 coats of B-I-N over the dark patches followed by your top coat. (2 coats will be better on the particularly dark knots).

Zinsser B-I-N has a fairly low film build so shouldn't create a thick enough layer to interfere with the grain of the timber if it is pronounced enough to see/feel now. Obviously it is white in colour so it will be completely opaque once coated and we would suggest a test area is carried out first to ensure you are happy with the finished appearance.

Yes and you can recoat after 45mins @ 20°C / 50% RH.

Generally we don’t advise using B-I-N or any of the Zinsser primers on floors however we do know it has been used in low wear situations previously with reasonable success. Apply a good quality floor paint on top, either the Blackfriar Professional Acrylic Floor Paint or Blackfriar Professional Polyurethane Floor Paint would both be options, also the Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Floor Paint. We would suggest a light abrade to the surface first with a fine grade of sandpaper just to key the surface. Wipe down with a damp cloth then apply the B-I-N. Please Note: The coatings may chip off if subjected to impact from a sharp object.

Yes, Zinsser B-I-N would be perfect for this.

Zinsser Cover Stain would be the recommended primer in this instance. Wash the surfaces well to remove any traces of soap/shampoo residues, apply 1 coat Zinsser Cover Stain followed by a top coat such as Zinsser Perma-White Interior.

Yes, we show a small selection of colours available above and can also mix to other pastel shades upon request if required.

Zinsser B-I-N is recommended by Zinsser for kitchen units, just make sure surfaces are clean, a good wash down followed by a wipe over with a clean cloth soaked in methylated spirits would be their recommendation.

No need to sand the surfaces. Apply 1-2 coats of Zinsser B-I-N as required to get good coverage then straight on with the top coat.

We are not familiar with the blue grit bonding product, however we have viewed product details for Febond Blue grit and this says it can be applied to painted surfaces prior to applying a plaster finish.

In this instance Zinsser B-I-N could be applied to the smoke damaged surfaces first followed by the Blue Grit coat. The surfaces must be dry, free from loose soot deposits and any flaking paint. It may be advisable to apply 2 coats of Zinsser B-I-N to ensure the surfaces are well treated and sealed.

You should also check with Everbuild the manufacturers of the Febond Blue Grit to see if they have any comments on this particular application.

This would be down to personal preference. You wouldn't need to use an undercoat but you can still use one if you wanted to.

Zinsser B-I-N is not a great primer for bathrooms, as it is moisture sensitive it can break down over time. If the ceiling was damp at the time of painting this would not have helped either.

To recoat the ceiling, scrape all the loose flaking paint back to a sound coating and allow the ceiling to completely dry out. Keep windows open to maintain a good airflow to help with the drying out process.

Apply 1 coat of Zinsser Peel Stop to the full ceiling to seal and stabilise any remaining paint. Then finish with 2 coats of Zinsser Perma-White Interior.

Avoid excessive use of the shower for a full 7 days after painting to prevent any condensation forming on the surface of the paint while it is still curing.

At 20°C / 50% RH Zinsser B-I-N can be overcoated after 45 minutes.

Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint will come off easily with a kitchen scouring pad and water. If you don’t want to remove it then an oil based paint can be applied directly over the Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint.

Yes.

Yes, just ensure the wallpaper is clean and dry before application. Once primed with Zinsser B-I-N you can overcoat it with your choice of paint.

No, the wax must first be removed by way of a proprietary cleaner like Timberex Oil & Wax Remover together with thorough sanding.

Zinsser B-I-N is not recommended to be thinned at all, if you can't achieve the application you require with Zinsser B-I-N you could try Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Plus which can be thinned with water to aid application if required and offers nearly all the same properties.

Yes.

Zinsser B-I-N can be used on shiny ceramic tiles but we find the Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Plus works better. All you need to do is make sure the tiles are clean and dry, apply 1 coat of Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Plus, allow to dry (1 hour) and then over coat with something like Zinsser Perma-White Interior.

Yes absolutely it can, all you need to do is make sure the surfaces you are painting are clean and dry.

Yes it can, for airless spray use .011” – .013” tip @ 800–1,200 PSI or for conventional spray, spray at 45 – 55 PSI.

Zinsser B-I-N is perfect for this use, simply clean any surfaces that require painting and remove any loose and flaking existing coatings by sanding. Once you have primed the surfaces with Zinsser B-I-N you can apply almost any conventional decorative water or solvent based over the top.
