Shellac kills is a guarantee to lock nicotine tar from smoking, ive been master painter over 40 years, you must wear respirator protection the fumes are dangerous to breathe
Hello, will this prime over smoked damaged walls? Ive just spent all day sugar soaping my walls, and its not really budged the smoke damage...also did you just roll it on like normal paint?
Got a project coming up that might require this. Smokers but apparently not the in house but I can still smell it inside. Was thinking of using this on woodwork only and the rest sugar soap. Will be removing carpets and getting rid of all furniture. Enough?
Omg are you telling me I have been scrubbing this house with tsp and hot water 500x and I didn’t have to? I can just paint right over without washing for nicotine stained walls and ceilings?
Hello, Desperate for help. We bought a house with 70 years of nicotine staining. They put a layer of Killz on the wall before we moved in so we didn’t know and now it is seeping through. We have tiny kids so we are wanting to make sure our hard work isn’t in vain. Do you know how well this works over the years. Will the nicotine seep through afterwards. Have you had clients tell you that it was still working years later?
Yes the job I did still looks good to this day as I have worked on the same house recent. The beauty of Coverstain is you can paint waterbased products over it. The zinsser cover stain also kills off the smell of nicotine aswell. I've never used Killz but it probably does the same job and with the same outcome so all good 👍🏻
Is the cover stain your using give off vapes strongly??? i know some will so was looking to find something for tobacco stains without the high vapors smell… Appreciate your video…
I am moving into the other bedroom. Twenty years of Nicotine stains on the ceiling and walls. Can I paint this directly over Nicotine stained wallpaper. Or do I need to prep with Sugarsoap. I have never done painting/decorating before. Thanking you for this.
Quick question would you recommend this as a undercoat before you would put the finish emulsion over it. Also can you paint doors with it as a undercoat as well
Silly question - heavy smoker in one bedroom - that bedroom was then painted with regular paint - smoke smell is now back. Will Zinsser still work if it is on top of paint that is on top of smoke residue?
Hi there, have you managed to get it painted with Zinsser primer and did it help? Exactly on the same boat. Painted a room with regular paint without cleaning the walls first and the smell is strong even after few months. Not sure how to resolve the issue now.
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 would you have any suggestions ? We painted a room with water based paint after a smoker. The rooms stinks and not sure where to take it from here
@@Hebakxgdnsjshjs it's best to get this solvent based primer. Zinsser Cover Stain. Once you have applied this everywhere then you can put waterbased emulsion over it. The Zinsser will kill off the nicotine and hold back any yellow stains. Hope this helps Regards Daniel
In this video did you use 1or2 Coats of the undercoat the room I'm going to paint isn't to bad with nicotine just wondering how many coats would you recommend. Thanks.
Hi mate. Yes you can use oil base undercoat aswell but this dries much quicker and has better stain blocking properties. You can get it from screwfix if you don't have a local decorating store. Cheers Dan
@@danielnugent2168 Hey pal, im still a little confused too because i see a red tin the same but more expensive, could you explain the difference, is there a cheaper option than this one? thanks for your time 👍
@@iDTecKt Hi. The red tin is B.I.N which is Shellac based and is used for painting over woodstain like if you wanted a stained staircase to be white then this is used to stop tanning and also good for wood knots. Cover Stain is solvent based and is used for nicotine and waterdamage stains. Cheers Dan
A quick question.. I've just been painting an old table using the Zinnser Cover Stain and it seems pretty hard to brush on ... the paint seems to get tacky very quickly. Is this normal ? I ended up just bushing on and not bothering about all brush strokes going in the same direction. Hopefully, when I put on the top coats of paint, everything will be fine. Do I have to sand the primer before adding the top coats (water based Satinwood paint from Dulux)
Hi. Yes its very quick drying. If you add a touch of white spirits to it you will get a better flow. I would have used a short pile micro fibre roller sleeve for the large areas. But yes give the primer a rub down with a 120 grit paper then I would use about 3 top coats of the Dulux satin. Try and get a roller for the satin as it will go off really quick being waterbased. Add a touch of water to your paint for the flow. Cheers Dan
@@danielnugent2168 White Spirit dilutes the product but does nothing to slow down the evaporation of White Spirit itself. There may be a higher percentage of metallic driers in the paint compared to other oil based paints.
Did you clean the walls first? Mine are heavily nicotine stained. I've been cleaning them bit by bit. I've so far used vinager and that purple stuff. I haven't been rinsing. Weeks will pass between cleaning and painting. Do I need to rinse before even using the product you recommend. I'm thinking of only a wipedown with water as rinsing.
Great video just done a kitchen 10 years plus of customer smoking yep great stuff this product
Fantastic gear mate
Thanks, will take that into consideration, great vidja, you got a 👍
Mate always have it on the van. Keys. wallet.phone and coverstain lol

yer the shellac bins smells a lot would rather use this product plus you have more working time with it
Great video
Many thanks
Hi do you need wash walls and ceiling down before applying many thanks
@@grahamdennis2810 no mate. Straight over with this
Hello, will this prime over smoked damaged walls? Ive just spent all day sugar soaping my walls, and its not really budged the smoke damage...also did you just roll it on like normal paint?
Hi. Yes it does. Fantasic paint. Multi use. It is Solvent based so you will need white spirits to clean brushes etc
@danielnugent2168 thank you so much for getting back to me and for the guidance
Got a project coming up that might require this. Smokers but apparently not the in house but I can still smell it inside. Was thinking of using this on woodwork only and the rest sugar soap. Will be removing carpets and getting rid of all furniture. Enough?
I'd do ceiling and walls aswell as it's quicker and no mess than sugar soap and also less elbow grease
@@danielnugent2168thanks, does this product require 2 coats and can you get away with less than 2 hours dry time?
@@LondonStuff. yes 2 coats and yes if conditions are right
Omg are you telling me I have been scrubbing this house with tsp and hot water 500x and I didn’t have to?
I can just paint right over without washing for nicotine stained walls and ceilings?
Yes mate 100 percent
Christina Aguilaras all blasting lol
Hahah I always forget to turn the radio down.

@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 Coverstain is the best for any stains period. Kilz is cheap and doesn't cover as well. Great video

It's not too bad but does the job and does quick so you can paint over it the same day
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 Thank you Daniel…

Straight on mate. No need for sugarsoap

Quick question would you recommend this as a undercoat before you would put the finish emulsion over it. Also can you paint doors with it as a undercoat as well
Hi. Yes you can. It takes waterbased or solvent products over it. Great to always have on jobs. Cheers Dan
I have stains on bare plaster so could I use this on the stains then give the walls a mist coat.
Hi mate.
Yes 100 percent. Dries in 30 mins and you can paint over it in a day.
Cheers Dan
Silly question - heavy smoker in one bedroom - that bedroom was then painted with regular paint - smoke smell is now back. Will Zinsser still work if it is on top of paint that is on top of smoke residue?
Hi mate. Yes it will act as a primer then redecorate
The smell could still be in the carpets or curtains etc

Hi. Yes. Zisser will kill off nicotine and hold back stains. Cheers Dan
Can this be painted straight over nicotine stained ceiling without cleaning first?
Yes it can. And even grease and smoke damage etc. One of the best products I've ever used. A good all rounder
@@danielnugent2168 thanks for quick response :)
In this video did you use 1or2 Coats of the undercoat the room I'm going to paint isn't to bad with nicotine just wondering how many coats would you recommend. Thanks.
I did it in one coat but if its really bad I would touch up in places with a second as its so quick drying but one is usually enough
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 thanks Daniel
I just bought a house and it’s nicotine is bleeding and sweating through can I paint right over it with this?
Yes 100 percent
Can you put a finished colour over this without the nicotine showing through again on the finished coat.
Yes you can. It's a brilliant product.
Kind regards Daniel
@@danielnugent2168 thanks for the reply 👍
Will a `oil based undercoat` on plaster skimmed walls & door frames cover nicotine stains before applying an emulsion paint finish?
Hi mate.
Yes you can use oil base undercoat aswell but this dries much quicker and has better stain blocking properties. You can get it from screwfix if you don't have a local decorating store. Cheers Dan
Would a water based primer work as well for nicotine? And odors
I wouldn't bother with waterbased as I used Zinsser 123 once and stains came through
Do you know how to get this stuff off ur body?😅
Nightmare mate lol 😆
👍 nice one
Can it be used on all surfaces? ie rads etc
Yes it can mate. Cheers Dan

Sherwin Williams said it would not work. 😢
It does work as I've Benn back to that house to do other rooms. It's great gear
Do u have sand primer before you paint.
No you don't have to. If you put it on evenly then just go straight over. You can smooth it off with a Mirka but all good to go straight ontop
Cool man thanks buddy..
So you dont have to wash the dry wall. Just primer with this? Right
Which paint is good for removing nicotine smell?

The best thing is sugar soap. They are granules that can be diluted with water. I didnt clean first as the walls were not that bad. Cheers Dan
Use Tsp
hi mate does this product smell like bin stuff 😏
No mate it's all good. Dries mega quick
