What happens here

The video opens with a brief view of the furniture piece, a yellow desk/vanity, already partially masked, and then transitions to the spot priming stage. The person explains they are using Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Base Primer in an aerosol can to target areas where the wood was previously exposed and showed signs of tannin bleed. He demonstrates spraying the primer directly onto these areas, such as the legs and edges of the tabletop and lower shelf, ensuring focused coverage. The primer is crucial for blocking potential stains and preventing natural wood tannins from bleeding through the new paint coat, which would cause discoloration.

Goal: Apply primer to prevent tannin bleed and improve paint adhesion.

So I'm using bench lock primer, spot priming this piece of furniture. I've got some tan and bleed because it was down to bare wood
