Please bear in mind there is
Zinnser 123 dark blue tin
Zinnser 123 PLUS light blue tin.
The Plus far better and stops smoke water damage far better.

Also Fossa block and bond is a great copy of Zinnser BIN shellac sealer

Half the price on Decorating direct website use all the time

I used this on quite a dark stain on the living room ceiling last week. 2 coats and some Matt White paint on top to match the rest of the ceiling, can't see where the stain was, completely covered. Excellent stuff and dries very quickly.

Solid paints these Zinsser products. Honestly, invest some time researching their products. Their Zinsser BIN primer is also a strong performer. Warmly recommended.

Ohhhh you sound like someone who knows these well! I spent hours looking at the different ones last night but it is quite hard to find simple info in basic terms (for a blonde ).
I came to the conclusion that this was the only one suitable for ceilings and that can have a water based paint on top?!

I have some pretty bad water stains in multiple rooms as I thought it would be a good idea to try some plumbing I will be using the Dulux Trade vinyl matt on top-have I gone for the most suitable/effective product in the range? :/

I've used this paint (not the plus) and it worked. Someone had painted an interior wall with a paint that caused subsequent coats to shrink back and expose the old paint. Zinsser Bulls Eye 1.2.3 solved the problem. Pity it's so expensive but at least it does work.

the council did this in my house.

not sure what they did.

they either painted the wall before the plaster had dried. or used a PVA mix before painting.

I know this product from being a furniture sprayer in the past, and it's always been decent (although I didn't use it much)

I might use this on the wall now to see if it solves the cracking.

Fab! I am yet to try but I decided to flood the top floor of my house so I have a lot of stains to cover 🙈 it's a good test for sure

Good deal.

Created an account a few weeks back and after 24 hours they sent me a 20% off code. No idea if it stacks with sale items.

Went into Travis Perkins a couple of weeks back and the price on shelf for 123 was something like £45, I said to the sales man I could get it cheaper in Screwfix. He said I'll see what I can do and gave it to me for £30 and his words were if you don't ask you don't get.

£33.25 for 2.5L on Screwfix if easier for some.

If you're just using this to cover up dark paint, I wouldn't bother. I bought it on a recommendation from her and it was no better than the standard Leyland undercoat from B&Q. It was also harder to apply and needed meths to clean up. Pain in the a...

Zinsser BIN is better for that. But after 3yrs the stains are slowly penetrating through the wallpaper we painted over (open fire smoked stained and stunk)

I upcycle furniture and the BIN (red tin) is my go to all round primer/stain blocker. It’s shellac based.

Try fossa block and bond shellac primer around 27 for 2.5l from decorating direct they have an extra wet edge version too .

BiN a rip off l find be double that at least

3 quid cheaper than screwfix and you need to pay postage on top, hardly a deal - cold.

Had to use this stuff in my last house. Might have been the BIN variant actually but very similar paint. Went to touch up the walls one day and thought my Dulux paint smelled a bit funny. Ignored it. The unbearable stench of feet stayed for weeks and eventually I bought Zinsser’s paint and covered the walls. Bad smell was gone within hours. I think the biocide helped in my case as the Dulux paint had apparently got bacteria in and was alive. Zinsser paints aren’t cheap but they’re very good.

Also used their “no undercoat” exterior paint to cover the hideous “police station blue” the builders painted my old house’s door. A beautiful, glossy white that cleaned up easily for years.

Recently got this to cover bad stains in a rental. Doesn't look too impressive when you first put it on but after three coats the shockingly awful blood stains were covered and means we only have to worry about replacing the stained floorboards and uneven patio now
