Recommended Uses – Bulls Eye Oil-Base Primer-Sealer & Stain Killer is formulated for interior applications where a heavy

bodied, fast-drying oil-base primer-sealer is needed. Bulls Eye Oil-Base dries in 2 hours to a flat finish that sands easily and accepts

any latex or oil-base topcoat. This high-solids formula effectively blocks unsightly stains, bright colors and graffiti on walls, ceilings

doors, trim, windows, cabinetry etc. prime outside with Zinsser Cover-Stain

“Whole House” Oil-Base Primer-Sealer.

New Surfaces- Bare wood, drywall, concrete and other unpainted surfaces absorb paint unevenly, frequently requiring

multiple coats of paint to achieve an even finish. Bulls Eye Oil-Base seals interior drywall, joint compound, and cured

plaster; cement, poured concrete, stucco and concrete/cinder block; wood and other porous surfaces. Dries quick, dries flat

and sands easily to make any paint look great! Great for priming metal doors, windows, cabinetry and trim; aluminum,

galvanized metal, wrought iron steel and other metals; rigid paintable plastics; glossy laminates and other interior surfaces.

Knots and sap streaks should be sealed with

B-I-N

Primer

Sealer. If necessary, lightly sand new drywall after

priming to remove any raised nap fibers.

Painted Surfaces – A fresh paint job always looks better if previously painted surfaces are primed first. Bulls Eye Oil-Base

sticks to glossy surfaces without sanding to ensure a worry-free paint project over enameled doors or trim. It’s ideal for

priming walls painted with cheap builder’s flats, spackled areas and dingy, yellowed ceilings. Spot prime only if topcoat is a

high hiding flat paint; otherwise, prime the entire surface.

Stain Killing – Effectively blocks common interior stains including water, smoke nicotine, crayon most types of marker and

ink, graffiti and pencil – and prevents them from bleeding and ruining your paint job.

Application Data

Surface Preparation – Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and fee 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 an

appropriate cleaning solution or solvent (do not use TSP as a cleaner). Remove any unsoundly adhered coatings.

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.gove/lead.

Application Requirements – Shake or stir before using. In most cases only one coat is necessary to prime most surfaces. If

excessive absorption occurs over very porous substrates a second coat may be necessary. Spot priming is recommended only under

high-hiding top coat paints. For best results, prime entire surface before painting.

Application methods – Apply with natural or synthetic brush, roller, pad or sprayer follow manufacturer’s instructions when using

spray equipment. Airless sprayer - .015” to 0.17” tip @ 1500 to 2000 P.S.I. Apply when air and surface temperatures are between

40°F. and 90°F. (5°C. And 32°C.) and humidity <85%.
