Review: the best for covering stained/varnished trim and woodwork - my go-to primer for painting stained/varnished wood & trim. I'm renovating a house and have gone through about 5 gallons painting casings, baseboard, stair risers, spindles and doors. I tried several water based primers and none can stop the tannin bleed like BIN. It is the absolute best. You need to know it is very watery and takes some care to lay down a nice finish. Always paint back into a wet edge, and work fast. It dries very quickly. If used properly and applied well there is no better primer. Cleanup requires Denatured Alcohol or Ammonia/Water. I go with Ammonia because is far cheaper and works just as well. Recommend you keep a rag dampened with ammonia on hand while painting because wiping a drip with a finger or dry rag will only magnify your problem. I was also very happy with this particular seller, Norkan, Inc. Good price, fast delivery and the packaging was outstanding.
Review: Expensive YES! Worth it for the ease and quality! - At the time of this review the product was about 67 bucks. Very expensive imo. Does it cover well-definitely yes. It covered two burn spots that were dark brown, with one coat (as a primer). We used it to cover and prime a wallpaper surface. It worked great. The final paint coat went on smooth and adhered extremely well to the now primed surface. We are pleased with the results. I guess you get what your WILLING to pay for .

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will bin stick to cabinets with a polyurethane finish?**
A: Yes, because it is a shellac based primer. It works as well as oil based primers, but drys immediately.
Latex primers don't work over polyurethane finishes unless they are sanded down first.

**Q: what type brush and roller cover are best for using bin primer on kitchen cabinets**
A: I used a foam roller and an angled 1.5" brush (I got a blue hawk from lowes that I only use for it and saved my nicer brush for the cabinet color) and they came out great!  We went from a really warm/dark cream color to a bright white and I only put one thin coat of this primer on then two coats of sherwin williams cashmere acrylic paint in medium lustre (it's very glossy and looks beautiful in the stock extra white--not blue/cold, no yellow, pink or peach cast and not dingy/gray look--just a nice, clean bright white).  This primer is really thin and dries very smooth no matter what you use.  I started using a regular 4" roller which put it on thicker, but I realized I didn't need to put it on that thick for a great result so I switched to a thin layer with the foam roller.  I also used it on the interiors which were dark, stained, unfinished wood and left it "unfinished" with just 2-3 coats of this primer.  It has been a couple of months now and so far so good!  Also, I cleaned everything down first really well with krud kutter prepaint cleaner (years of grease and sticky gross stuff).

**Q: What kind of a mask do you need with Zinsser BIN? Thanks!**
A: With any paint product  just search for the product name with SDS (safety data sheet). This will tell you the mask and filters to use. 
You should use at least a 1/2 mask with organic filters. I normally use a full face mask.

**Q: Is this sealer/primer alcohol base**
A: Yes, and it is a shellac based product that cleans up with IPA easily.  Dries very fast and is an excellent primer for latex or oil based paints - even so-called paint and primer combination latex.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can’t recommend higher.
*by J***R on November 2, 2025*

The ONLY primer I will use. I refinish furniture and anytime I’m painting it, this is my go-to. Same for anything else that needs painted. Don’t use the new formula without shellac. Don’t use the blue can without shellac. Don’t use any other brand. You’ll end up stripping it again and using this. (Ask me how I know) This covers everything, blocks tannins and stains, and ensures paint sticks. Follow the directions and you’ll be golden. Make sure you stir it well. The shellac settles and the bottom tends to get thick. It is very thin - almost like cream - and dries super quick. I use disposable brushes and rollers with it bc the shellac is a pain to clean. You can clean it from brushes by soaking in a mixture of Dawn dish soap, ammonia and hot water.
