Q:Need a product to block musty smell in old plywood flooring prior to installing laminate flooring. Will this product block musty smells in plywood? will multiple coats make a difference in odor blocking ability?

Answer This Question

A:  Happy to clear things up! While Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer will help block stains, it is not an odor blocking primer. Multiple coats will not provide odor blocking properties either. We also do not recommend it for use on flooring that will not have other flooring over it, such as carpeting, tile, or laminate. Instead, Rust-Oleum Zinsser Odor Killing Primer may be a better option for you. If you are not putting a new floor over the plywood, then you will need to top coat this primer with a floor paint or finish for full durability. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-1-gal-Odor-Killing-Interior-Primer-2-Pack-305928/207003640 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

      A:  Happy to help, Kate! While Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer is great for most surfaces, we recommend using Zinsser Shieldz Universal Wall Covering Primer instead. This product is ideal for use under wallpaper. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-1-gal-Shieldz-Universal-Water-Based-White-Primer-and-Sealer-Case-of-4-2501/204623738 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

        Q:Can this be used over something that has been painted with a waterproofing membrane?
        by|May 8, 2024

        Answer This Question

        A:  Happy to help, Robert! We recommend checking with the waterproofing membrane manufacture to ensure that their product is considered a paintable surface or if there are any limitations on what type of coating can be used over it. If unsure of the manufacture, we recommend applying Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer in a test area first to ensure favorable results. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

          Q:Can I use this for polystyrene patio furniture

          Answer This Question

          A:  Happy to help! While polystyrene is considered to be a paintable plastic, we would recommend applying Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer in a test area first to ensure favorable results. Some plastics are manufactured in such a way that hinders paint adhesion, so a test application is recommended. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
