What happens here

Once the first coat of primer is dry, lightly sand the surface to smooth out any raised grain or minor imperfections. The video suggests using an Ekasand 3x4 sander for this, followed by a second coat of the Zinsser Peel Stop Triple Thick primer. Allow this second coat to dry completely.

Goal: Further smooth the primed surface and apply an additional layer of protection.

Tools and materials

  • Ekasand 3x4 Sander Ekasand — Power sanding between primer coats for smoothness
  • Empty Bucket — Holding primer for application

so i did say that i was i was gonna apply two coats this stuff is it's drying so fast in the sun i'm just gonna get um or i was gonna do two or one coat and then sand and then do another coat it's drying so fast i'm gonna just get two coats on here because i want to do a third coat let it dry and then i'm gonna sand that in between the second and third coat and then i'll do my caulking you can see already it's filling in leveling out sealing edges and it's important also to have a good layout you can see how i'm laying it out you know with the grain even though it's a primer you want to lay it out make it look nice all right i think i got enough on there for second coat i'm gonna go work on some other stuff we're gonna come back and hit this one more time so once again this is a water-based coating which this primer unlike most primers out here out on the market this is three times thicker than any other primer out there so the thickness gives you that build and it smooths out all these rough edges seals down and glues all the peeling paint so you won't have any peeling or cracking anymore after you top coat it i've been using the stuff for a lot of my career painting and we use it on just about every single exterior house we paint you can use it as a bare wood primer you can prime over previously coated surfaces it's an extremely versatile primer the product by once again by zinzer there's quite a few products i use from zinzer they make some really good products a lot of good primers a lot of use some water-based primers alcohol-based primers it's already filling in a lot of this checking here it's a lot better to use this to fill that it is to fill with caulking especially the caulking doesn't bond to bare wood as well as a primer like this does fortunately the last painter is painted right over the vinyl windows so we're going to fill in that gap there all right it is a day two so i finished up the day by pressure washing the building because i'm painting the building i applied two coats of my peel stop triple thick and i'm going to sand apply another coat and then i'm going to caulk this door jamb to make it look a lot better we do caulking as part of our prep work and then we're going to be painting the building and you'll see what the final outcome looks like i'm going to be sanding i typically will sand just with a sponge sands uh sponge sanders or um foam sand pads but i've got my echo sand out here because it is a little bit rough i'm just gonna…
