A:  Happy to help, George! Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer can be applied over the solid stain, provided the stain is in good, sound condition. Any loose stain must be removed prior to priming. If you have areas with bare redwood where the stain was peeled or removed, we would recommend priming with Rust-Oleum Zinsser Cover Stain Oil-Based Primer instead. This will prevent any tannin bleed from the wood. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Cover-Stain-1-gal-White-Oil-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-3501/100398377 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
