Coo-Var Shellac Primer All Review These primers are water-soluble and so are easy to clean. They also come in low- or no-VOC formulas, making them a healthier alternative to oil-based and shellac primers. Shellac Primer

I mentioned that this primer is not low VOC and so some safety precautions should be taken when using. Use outside if possible or in a well-ventilated area. The technical data also suggests that you use a respirator when applying.Always prime if you're painting a lighter color over a darker one. Eggshell and semi-gloss paints in particular require a coat of primer as they often absorb unevenly. On flat-painted walls with minor repairs, you may only need to spot prime. For walls with larger areas of patching plaster, use True Value EasyCare Ultra Premium Interior Primer/Sealer. Helpful Tips

This may seem like an ad for BIN shellac-based primer but I promise you it’s not, I just really love the stuff and I use it for almost everything! I always have a can of it in my stash! Top mistakes to avoid when priming or painting your cabinets: Just in case you think I’m making it up about not sanding, Rustoleum’s technical data sheet on this stuff says, “excellent adhesion to glossy surfaces without scuff sanding”! In my mom’s laundry room, I used this liquid sander instead of sanding and that paint is doing just fine. I do suggest either doing a little sanding or using the liquid sander, you just don’t have to go crazy with it. I have used a de-glosser instead of the initial sanding of cabinets prior to priming a few times with good sucess.

Not sanding between coats: Even if you are spraying, there will be little bumps and imperfections that show up with every paint layer. Dust will settle on it, and if you live in my house, some pet hair, too. Sanding each layer before the next coat is the best way to minimize imperfections and end up with the smoothest finish. You can also remove the current caulk and apply new paintable caulk, which can then be painted. Final Thoughts

Let’s see what you need to do to paint over silicone caulking. True Method For Painting Over Silicone Caulk Use of Shellac Spray Primer

Types of Primers

Good examples of this are heavy damp stains and notoriously hideous nicotine stains which can easily be covered up when using Zinsser BIN. Now that you’re done with the priming, it’s time to paint. Grab a quality paint brush and the perfect paint to match the caulk to your walls. Head to your local paint shop if you need help with color matching. Don’t be so hurry, let the primer dry for a couple of minutes (around 40-45 min). Meanwhile, ready your paint so well for applying the first coat. The best way to paint silicone caulk is to first apply a shellac spray primer, let it fully dry, then apply one or two coats of paint over it. No matter how many coats of paint you apply, finished walls rarely look perfect if the surface hasn't been prepared with primer first. But how do you know which one is the right one for the job? A Primer on Primers

There are three basic types of primers: oil-based, latex and pigmented shellac primer. Each has its strengths and weaknesses and works best on certain surfaces and in particular circumstances. Oil-based Primer It works so well because shellac spray creates a more adhesive surface over the silicone for the paint to bind to. Hold the spray primer 2-3 inches from the silicone caulk. Open the nozzle cap, point it to the caulk and start shooting primer over it. Work until you completely cover the caulk. Contrary to the white MDF sealers that can only be painted, the MDFS250 allows you to paint or varnish. This product has a swift drying period that lets you complete your project in no time. It only takes 30 minutes to “touch dry.” Thus, you can recoat after only two hours. Another outstanding feature about the MDFS250 is that you can use it for both interior and exterior use. It is perfect for all grades MDF, including flooring and moisture-resistant grades.Not thoroughly cleaning before priming– dust, debris, bacon grease. Dirt and debris between your primer coat and your surface will prevent a proper bond, so make sure you clean really thoroughly before you start priming. You can speed up the work using a caulking gun. Take a scissor to cut the caulk tip and put it into the caulking gun. Now aim it where you want to cover. Start pressing the gun from a line and slowly fill it with the paintable silicone caulk. After cleaning many people will tell you to sand, and certainly, that is not a bad idea. However, if you are like me, the thought of sanding allllllll of those cabinets seems sort of….. unappealing. The purpose of sanding is to scuff up the existing finish a little to rough it up to provide some grip for your paint. I just told you that’s what the primer does, right? You see, I am a lazy sander and I’m not at all convinced that doing a bunch of sanding is all that important. If you don’t want to spread the primer around, wrap them using painter’s tape. Also, use hand gloves to save your hand from primer and paint. Time to Dry
