Cover Stain® is the only interior / exterior primer, sealer, stain sealer and bond coat that dries for recoat in only two hours.
On interior surfaces, Cover Stain® dries quickly and has great hiding power providing outstanding stain killing and enamel undercoating performance. Stains of all kinds are permanently sealed so topcoats are blemish free.
Cover Stain® is especially effective on nicotine and water stains. New wood trim can be primed, sanded and topcoated the same day, saving time and money.
On exterior surfaces, Cover Stain® has a unique formulation that delivers full penetration and flexibility on all surfaces, especially dimensionally unstable wood paneling and trim, where few oil-based primers can succeed. Cover Stain® resists cracking and peeling and is compatible with all decorative top coats.

Hi I want to paint a varnished wooden framed settee and chairs to use outside. It is very intricate so virtually impossible to sand. Will your cover stain primer bond sufficiently well to it to allow a top coat? Thanks
MARK RANDALL from NORFOLK (UK) - 20/03/17
Zinsser Cover Stain should be fine for this. Provided the surface is clean and free from any waxes or spray polish type materials, the Cover Stain will bond well to the old varnish and provide a good base for a suitable exterior top coat.
What is the best primer/sealer/undercoat to apply to exterior marine ply and softwood? Planning to apply 2 coats of Sadolin Superdec on top.
Peter Dennett from Tenterden (UK) - 29/02/16
Zinsser Cover Stain would be the best primer to use.
Can you thin cover stain?
Paul from London (Uk) - 19/02/16
Zinsser Cover Stain shouldn't be thinned for application as it is designed to be applied as supplied but you can use White Spirit for clean up.
Can Zinsser Cover Stain be used to seal weeping knots?
Roger baker from Horsham (UK) - 28/05/15
No. You would need to scrape away any residue, thoroughly clean the knots with methylated spirits and then apply 1-2 coats as required of Zinsser B-I-N.
