PEEL STOP
®
Water-Base
Clear Binding Primer
Generic Type – Vinyl resin, water-based, clear, interior and
exterior binding primer
Performance Characteristics
• Binds cracking, chalking and peeling paint to the surface
• Fills gaps under edges of old paint and seals chalky surfaces
• Reduces extensive paint removal prior to recoat
• Extends the serviceable life of problem surfaces
• Use with any oil-base or water-base architectural topcoat
• Fast-dry – can be recoated in just 2 hours
• Interior and exterior application
• Easy soap and water clean up
Recommended Uses – Apply to interior and exterior walls,
ceilings, doors, trim, fascia, soffits, foundations, and similar
painted surfaces that exhibit chalking, alligatoring and peeling.
PEEL STOP seeps into these spaces and ‘glues’ them down,
forming a tight bond that helps stop future peeling. The special
formula of PEEL STOP penetrates and binds chalky residues; it
acts as a flexible bridging primer to seal face checking and help
prevent the finish coat from cracking, providing a sound surface
for primer and paint.
Interior – Previously painted drywall, plaster, cement, concrete,
or stucco walls and ceilings; wood doors, windows, baseboards,
trim.
Exterior – Previously painted wood siding, windows, doors,
fences, and trim; metal gutters and downspouts; masonry
siding, walls and foundations (including cured concrete, stucco,
concrete block, brick, vinyl and aluminum siding, etc.).
Surface Preparation - Surfaces should be as well-prepared as
possible. This includes 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 as much as
possible of any unsoundly adhered coatings. Sand any remaining
paint film edges smooth with the surface. Lightly sand exposed
exterior wood with 80 to 100 grit sandpaper to remove loose or
weathered wood fibers. Attempt to remove existing stains by
washing, sanding, scraping, etc. Kill exterior mildew with Zinsser

PEEL STOP. 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

Application Conditions – Apply when air and surface
temperature is between 50
o
and 90
o
F (10
o
and 32
o
C) and
relative humidity is less than 85%. Substrate moisture content
should not exceed 12%.
Application Methods – Shake or stir before using. Do not thin.
Apply with brush and/or roller or airless sprayer. Back brush or
roll to work product into cracks and edges of old paint. When
properly applied, PEEL STOP should dry to a slight sheen. Apply
a second coat if dull spots appear. For best brushing
performance use quality synthetic bristle brushes. Natural bristle
brushes are not recommended for use with this product. 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 topcoat paints. For best results prime
entire surface before painting. Keep container closed when not
in use.
