SEALER
ULTIMATE ODOR BLOCKER
Performance Characteristics
• Dries in minutes, can be recoated in 45 minutes
• Superior adhesion to glossy surfaces without scuff sanding
• Blocks stubborn and persistent stains and odors
• Seals porous surfaces with excellent enamel holdout
• Can be applied in freezing temperatures
• Preserves original surface appearance
• Compatible with all clear finished
• Wont yellow with age
• Permanently blocks every kind of odor
• Seals bleeding knots and sap streaks
• Dried film is non-toxic and hypo-allergenic
Recommended Uses – Recommended for application to interior
ceilings, walls, doors, trim, cabinets, furniture, and related
paintable surfaces. May be used to block water, grease, rust,
smoke, asphalt, graffiti, and many other types of stains.
• Interior – New and previously painted drywall, cured
plaster/cement based coatings, wood (pine, fir, cedar, redwood,
plywood), metal (aluminum, steel, stainless steel, copper), vinyl,
PVC, fiberglass, cured masonry (stucco, concrete block, poured
concrete, brick). Blocks stains and odors resulting from water & fire
damage, seals stains from grease, rust, creosote, asphalt, crayon,
lipstick, graffiti, markers, knots, sap streaks, tannin bleed, etc.
• Sealing – CLEAR B-I-N seals unpainted or porous surfaces so
topcoat paints have better coverage. It fills and binds wood fibers
to create a smooth, sealed surface with “enamel holdout” so fewer
coats of paint are needed. Note that very porous surfaces may
require two coats and may reduce square foot coverage of the
product.
• Stain Blocking – One coat of CLEAR B-I-N will effectively block
stains, including water, nicotine, ink, graffiti, crayon, marker, rust
and smoke stains so they won’t bleed into the topcoat. Some stains
require a second coat. CLEAR B-I-N is recommended for
permanently sealing heavy fire and water stains.
• Odor Blocking - CLEAR B-I-N seals in smoke stains and odors
caused by fires. It also seals in urine and other animal odors from
smelling. CLEAR B-I-N may be used in areas where incidental
contact to food items occurs. CLEAR B-I-N is also recommended for
sealing nicotine stains or odors from tobacco.
• Glossy Surfaces – Glossy enamel paint and varnishes, ceramic tile,
paneling, cabinets and metal surfaces can be primed without
sanding or deglossing.
Surface Preparation - Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound
and free of dust, dirt, excessive chalky material, grime, grease,
oil, wax, mildew, wallpaper adhesive or any contamination that
may interfere with adhesion. If unsure, always wash surface
with a household ammonia and water solution, appropriate
cleaning solution, or solvent (Do not use TSP as a cleaner).
Remove any unsoundly adhered coatings. Sand any remaining
paint film edges smooth with the surface. Bare wood that has
been exposed for more than 4 weeks should be lightly sanded
or abraded to remove weathered wood fibers. Countersink
exposed nailheads and fill all nailholes and gouges with Ready
Patch

. Remove interior mold and mildew before painting with
a solution of one cup household bleach per gallon of water or a
quality biocidal wash. Rinse well. Always wear protective
clothing and goggles to prevent eye and skin contact with
bleach. Do not mix ammonia or any other chemical with bleach
solution. If you are concerned about mold and mildew behind
walls, underneath flooring, in ventilation systems or other
unseen areas, contact a professional who specializes in mold
and mildew remediation. For commercial buildings and schools
follow appropriate guidelines for mold removal. Remove rust
and wipe metal with a cloth dampened in alcohol then apply a
rust-inhibitive primer. WARNING! If you scrape, sand or
remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC.
EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS,
SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.
PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a
NIOSH-Approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up
carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start,
find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting
the National Lead Information Hotline
at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead
Application Conditions – Apply when air and surface
temperature is between 0° and 90° F (-18° and 32° C) and
relative humidity is less than 85%. Do not apply CLEAR B-I-N if
surface temperature is within 15% of the dew point. Substrate
moisture content should not exceed 12%.
