This primer is amazing. Fixes so many problems on exteriors including peeling paint.

What happens here

With the paintbrush loaded with Zinsser Peel Stop primer, begin applying it directly to all identified areas of peeling paint, nicks, and exposed wood. The narrator demonstrates applying several patches of primer to the shed wall. Use firm, even strokes to ensure thorough coverage, working the thick primer into the surface and carefully pushing it under any lifted paint edges. This action effectively "glues" them down and fills minor imperfections, creating a uniform, sealed, and stable base. The narrator explains that this primer helps to seal the surface, preventing water from getting underneath compromised areas (e.g., during pressure washing) and stopping further paint lifting.

Goal: Apply generous patches of the high-build binding primer with a paintbrush to all peeling and damaged wood areas, ensuring full coverage to seal the surface and bind down loose paint.

this nick. It'll help glue those edges down, make it go away. Kind of um you know, a resolution to a problem that's um you know, not not 100% resolvable, but I'll just help stop those um seal them. Now, if the customer was to pressure wash this water in the pressure washer won't get underneath those nicks and start lifting the paint off. So, it's triple thick peel stop.
