Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Plus has all the best properties of an oil-based primer, such as exceptional adhesion and will block a wide variety of stains including water-soluble and oil-soluble stains. This means most painting projects can be sealed and completed with just one primer. Great adhesion to many project types, especially the tricky ones, including glossy surfaces, ceramic tiles, non-ferrous metal and galvanised metal, vinyl, hardboard, melamine, varnish, plastic, uPVC, wood, masonry and much more.
This product is not suitable for ferrous metals, flooring of any kind including decking and areas that are constantly in contact with or submerged in water.
- Also available for ferrous metals or adhesion to projects where sanding might be an issue: Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3

- Stir thoroughly before and during use, making sure to reach the pigment in the top and bottom creases of the tin
- Apply 1 coat of the suitably coloured Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Plus using a paintbrush, roller or airless spray system, allowing 1 hour to dry before application of a topcoat
- Thinning is generally not required, if necessary thin with up to 5% clean water- thinning may affect the stain blocking qualities of this product, so further coats may be required for complete opacity
