My man installed that greenboard moisture resistant drywall. I've always just painted drywall but heard I need to use primer. I bought Zinsser fast prime 2 but am nervous to use it. I know this talks about 123, do I need to exchange fast prime 2 for 123? The store said fast prime 2 was good enough. It is a new wall section on an existing wall and has been taped and mudded already. There is no real ventilation down there. Have you used this primer? Have you used it on greenboard? Does it smell bad? I bought a paint 3M mask but I have a parrot so I really have to be aware of smells and VOCs. Do I need to wear gloves too (I have nitrile)? Can I just paint without the primer? My paint is Pittsburgh, I think latex or water whatever. I read this primer you need to use oil based paint? I'm so confused now. We painted our fitness room with no primer.
If you want advice, ask a painter, we use these products daily and we know there limitations. Associates that work in paint stores are told what the products can do, or read the labels, without having any real experience using them.
Would like to know why 123 has a sheen finish, I would say equal to an eggshell. Will this cause your finish coat to not adhere properly? Shouldn't primers have a flat finish?
theres no problem with wall paints adhering to this use this a lot of the time to spot prime filler never had any problems the only thing i wouldn't trust it on is surfaces like melamine woodstain varnish etc.
I have found that Bulls Eye 1-2-3 does not flash through emulsion but Cover Stain does, even though the sheen level is nearly double with Bulls Eye 1-2-3. You may need to use both in certain situations, or B-I-N may work on its own.
@@bitTorrenter just asked the other commenter about this. I was worried about flashing while spot primering my ceiling where joint compound was. Was debating whether to prime the whole ceiling or just the repairs bc I was afraid of flashing
@@Chanmantroop10 no it doesn't cause flashing or any problems. for interiors walls and ceilings you can just spot prime with thinned down emulsion would always recommend taken the time to spot prime even if the filler says theres no need been there and believed that before.

true story. i work at home depot
Great video! Can Bulls eye 1 2 3 be used over an oil based interior paint?
Can I use this on my outdoor wooden deck, that has cedar Millwork stain on it? As a primer..

@@jackwardley3626 does spot priming with 123 cause flashing in your experience? Debating whether to spot prime my repairs or prime the whole wall.
