DESCRIPTION AND USES
Zinsser

FastPrime
™
Oil-Base Interior Primer-Sealer is
designed for interior applications where a heavy-bodied, fast-
drying oil-based primer-sealer is needed. FastPrime dries in 2
hours to a flat finish that sands easily and accepts any latex
or oil-based topcoat. FastPrime effectively blocks stains,
bright colors and graffiti on walls, ceilings, doors, trim,
windows and cabinetry.
NEW SURFACES
Bare wood, drywall, concrete and other unpainted surfaces
absorb paint unevenly, frequently requiring multiple coats of
paint to achieve an even finish. FastPrime Oil-Base seals
interior drywall, joint compound, and cured plaster, cement,
poured concrete, stucco, concrete/cinder block, wood and
other porous surfaces. FastPrime Oil-Base is suitable for
priming metal doors, windows, cabinetry and trim, aluminum,
wrought iron steel and other metals, rigid paintable plastics,
glossy laminates and other interior surfaces. Knots and sap
streaks should be sealed with Zinsser B-I-N
®
Primer-Sealer. If
necessary, lightly sand new drywall after priming to remove
any raised nap fibers.
PAINTED SURFACES
FastPrime Oil-Base adheres to glossy surfaces without the
need for sanding. It is suitable for priming walls painted with
builder’s flat paint, spackled areas, and yellowed ceilings.
Prime the entire surface to ensure uniform coverage and
sheen.
STAIN KILLING
Effectively blocks common interior stains including water,
smoke, nicotine, crayon, most types of markers and ink,
graffiti and pencil marks, and prevents bleed through.

PRODUCT APPLICATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free of any
contamination, mildew, rust or unsound coatings that may
interfere with adhesion. Remove loosely adhered or unsound
coatings. Sand any remaining paint film edges smooth. If
unsure of cleanliness, always wash surface with household
ammonia and water solution, appropriate cleaning solution
or solvent (do not use TSP as a cleaner). Rinse the surface
thoroughly and allow to dry before application of FastPrime
Oil-Base.
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.
LIMITATIONS
FastPrime Oil-Base is not recommended for exterior
application or for use on floors or surfaces subject to
immersion or prolonged contact with water.
APPLICATION
Apply only when air, material, and surface temperatures are
between 40-90ºF (5-32ºC) and the relative humidity is below
85%. Thoroughly mix to ensure any settled pigment is re-
dispersed 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 topcoat finishes. For best results, prime entire surface
before painting.
