How to Stop Peeling Paint? Fix Peeling Paint and Save Money on Replacing Doors and Trim!

What happens here

After sanding, prepare the Zinsser Peel Stop Triple Thick primer. This primer is exceptionally thick, helps feather out peeling edges, primes bare wood, fills gaps and cracks, and seals down loose paint. Pour a manageable amount into a separate container. Using the Riverdale brush, apply a generous, thick coat of primer to the door jamb and window trim. The primer is white-tinted, making it easy to see where it has been applied. Allow the first coat to dry.

Goal: Apply a thick, binding coat of primer to the prepared trim.

Tools and materials

  • Dust Brush — Removing dust and debris from the surface before priming
  • Empty Bucket — Holding a smaller amount of primer for easier application
  • Paint Stick or Stirrer — Stirring the primer before use

caulking so a couple of the key points about this primer i really like it because it's extremely extremely thick helps feather out peeling edges it's also is um helps seal and glue down and stops paint from peeling and you'll see i'll show you how thick it is and they do call it triple thick for a reason so here's what it looks like right here this is how thick this stuff is and i really like this product because it has a white tint in it so it is white so there's other products on the market that don't have white tint this has white tint so when it dries you actually know where it goes or where it's gone just want to dump some in there i like keeping my put my lid back on now i'm just going to start and i'm going to brush on a really nice thick coat it hangs really well because it is so dang thick there's it's so high in solids and resins it's really really thick it's going to fill seal and keep from peeling the paint anymore so i'm painting this entire building so i can definitely get some of my peel stop on the sides here and once again this is you know obviously if you look you're really close you know this door jam is extremely beat up and you know a lot of people are just going to say well why the heck when you just replace it well you'll see it's the amount of time replacing it is uh probably three times longer right now lumber materials are extremely expensive um so it's definitely more cost effective to just prime it and repaint it and once again it just really comes down to customer expectations now if your customer is expecting this to look brand new again uh you would definitely have to discuss that with them in charge and more money and and actually replace it so customer expectations is always extremely important to know and understand so good communication with your customers always extremely important always having a duster brush handy too is important as you can see this top of it a lot of dust you want to get this good and sealed up here on top too even though it's kind of protected by the soffit here and what i do in between coats i typically will take and sand in between coats i won't sand with my paint eater but i'm going to get a we need a sponge and sand it with a uni sponge and like a medium grit uni sponge and so because this is it's a water-based product so it's going to going to cause a little bit of um grain raising and you're going to see some rough stuff you know that shows up after you apply it and you definitely want to sand…
