If you’ve ever looked through the Zinsser range you’ll see that they have a lot of different Zinssser primers to choose from. All of them have their own uses, and knowing the best one to use in your situation will mean that you not only get the best results, but you also get results that will last longer.
With so many products to choose from It can be hard to know which one is right for you. So here’s a quick guide to help you through.
Some of the products are very self explanatory, so I’m not going to go into those in any great detail. The Drywall Pro is a primer and sealer for new or damaged drywall. The Ceiling Pro is a 5-in-1 system specially designed to fight common problems in ceilings. And the Wallpaper Cover-Up does exactly what it says on the tin: it covers up wallpaper, and completely obliterates the design of the wallpaper behind it.
The other Zinsser primers are somewhat more diverse, so they require a bit more explanation. Below is a table showing which products work best on what substrate/problem. It’s the easiest way to point you in the right direction when it comes to knowing what will do the job.
