What happens here
The speaker confirms that once the shellac-based primer is applied and dries, the pet odors will 'go away' because the primer effectively seals them into the subfloor. Shellac-based primers typically dry quickly (the product shown, Zinsser B-I-N, often dries to touch in minutes and can be recoated in less than an hour, but always check the product label for specific drying times). After drying, the treated subfloor should be free of the lingering pet urine smell, preparing it for the next stage of floor replacement.
Goal: After application, allow the shellac-based primer to dry completely according to manufacturer instructions. Once dry, the primer will have sealed off the pet odors, making the area fresh and ready for new flooring installation.
