Stone Chimney Repair | Cover Stain Primer

What happens here

The video begins with an introduction to the project, explaining that the chimney is an old structure no longer connected to a fireplace inside the house. The primary issue is chipping stone and potential leaks due to moisture penetration. The presenter outlines the plan: to seal, paint, and resolve the chipping stone problem using several specific products. He identifies Zinnser Cover Stain oil-based primer, a construction sealant, Zinnser Peel Stop Triple Thick, and a final paint coat as the materials to be used. The first practical task is to mask off the surrounding roof area to protect it from paint and sealant.

all right today I'm going to be working on a fireplace here and it's interesting cuz there is no fireplace there is no sto below this so it was all removed and this is um a piece that's still on the roof it's got some um Stone that's chipping falling away and we want to kind of like seal this up and keep it from leaking you know into the house so once again it's a stove or fireplace that no longer exists inside this building but we do want to seal it we do want to paint it and we're going to try to resolve you know some of the problem with this Stone kind of just chipping away and so I'm going to be using um a couple products today I'm going to be using cover stain from uh zenzer and it's an oilbased primer that will seal porous surfaces and it'll seal um Stone so we're going to use it to seal all this stuff and then I'm going to going to use a construction sealant to seal the cracks on this thing there's cracks on the top that were you know moisture snow water can penetrate eventually cause it to leak inside and then after I get the stone all these open porest things sealed with the cover stain um I'll probably go over it with some triple thick Peel Stop to um even seal it a little bit more and then we're going to paint it so we're going to get this thing nice and sealed so we don't have you know chipping Stone falling off this thing anymore and having cracks that could be potential you know water or moisture links into the structure I'm going to start off just by masking using a white oilbased primer so definitely want to use enough masking to cover the area so I want to tack this masking down now with large stps I'm using frog tape orange it'll stick really good to this roof now if there's any loose stuff on
