I have a huge fence that previous owner painted. I've scrapped this entire fence twice in 12 years, and used stain on the bare areas, but it needs it all again! I am just seeing this product and hope it will help me prep the fence for painting or stain.

    Kimmy, we appreciate your interest! Rust-Oleum Zinsser Peel Stop Triple Thick Primer is intended for use on previously painted surfaces that have started to peel. We do not recommend using this to cover over orange peel on a wall, as it is not designed for that type of use. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10

        Is this product suitable for concrete/stucco retaining wall at a water front property that is exposed to salt water and periodic submersion on a regular basis due to extreme weather and hurricanes?

        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Thank you for reaching out, Jake. While Rust-Oleum Zinser Peel Stop Triple Thick Primer provides a thick, durable coating, it cannot be used to protect against full water submersion. The over exposure to moisture will cause the primer to blister and peel. We need to know more to ensure we provide the correct recommendation. Can you please give us a call at (888) 855-1774, and we would be more than happy to assist you further? -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

            Hi, a painted bathroom metal door frame has rust spots from steam. Is this the best product to use on the metal frame or should I use Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer for bare metal?

            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Happy to clear things up, Sascha! Rust-Oleum Zinsser Peel Stop Triple Thick Binding Primer is designed for use on previously painted surfaces that have begun to peel. We do not recommend using it on bare metal or as a rust inhibitor. Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer can be used on bare metal to trap rust stains; however, it should not be used in areas where there will be prolonged contact with water or high humidity. This kind of environment can cause the coating to blister and peel. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

              Great question! The recoat time of Rust-Oleum Zinsser Triple Thick Binding Primer will be dependent on how thick the primer is applied. While 2 hours is the fastest it can be recoated, if applied at 30 mil wet film thickness, it will take 6 hours to recoat. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

                  I am working on a porch ceiling that I recently used an angle grinder with a Diamabrush disc to get rid of any paint that was peeling. I have some bare wood and some paint on a fairly smooth surface. Will this product be a good primer/sealer for my job?

                  Great question, Greg! Yes, Rust-Oleum Zinsser Peel Stop Triple Thick Binding Primer can be used on a porch ceiling and will help provide a more even finish. Please keep in mind, this is not a stain blocking primer, and any tannin bleed or knots will not be blocked. If needed, a stain blocking primer can be applied to the whole surface after using Peel Stop to help block any stains or knots. We recommend Rust-Oleum Zinsser Cover Stain Oil-Based Primer. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Cover-Stain-1-gal-White-Oil-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-3501/100398377 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

                    Summarized by generative AI from text of customer reviews

                    Customers say that Zinsser Peel Stop Triple Thick High Build Primer is effective for sealing and binding down peeling paint, particularly on older homes and weathered surfaces. Many users appreciate its thick consistency and ease of application, noting that it helps to fill small cracks and imperfections. However, some customers experienced issues with coverage, finding it to be more translucent than expected, requiring multiple coats for satisfactory results. Overall, while it performs well as a binding primer, users recommend proper surface preparation and additional topcoats for optimal results.

                      Great for a peeling ceiling. Worth the cost for a gallon of glue.
                      This stuff WORKS. Fixed our flipper-ruined ceilings. It is not a high-hide primer, it dries a translucent off-white. This appears to be a super thick PVA-like product, essentially making a thick layer of PVA-like film (Elmer’s glue) to trap and lock your paint together. I used a gallon in an approximately 160sq ft room, in two coats in a cross-hatch pattern on the ceiling. It completely resolved my peeling problem, and did not disturb the remaining delicate paint/plaster that hadn’t scraped off easily. It’s best to scrape off as much as possible before applying this product for the best possible adhesion for a final layer. A single coat of white ceiling paint after a generous overnight cure hid any signs of this primer. It did a moderate job filling in, you’ll still want to mud and sand over this, then prime again if you’re looking for a perfect surface.

                          Triple thick PEEL STOP
                          So I have been reading some of these reviews, can’t believe what I am reading!!!! I have used this product since 1999 the original peel stop, when I was able to find triple thick peel stop I was ecstatic, but because nobody here in the forum seems to understand the purpose of it. Let me explain!! IT IS DESIGNED TO GLUE DOWN AND FILL SMALL VOIDS ON PEELING PAINT, it is a wonderful product I use it all the time!! You can grind off all your damaged peeling paint and start over with a good bare wood primer or you can use peel stop and move on!!! Because nobody seams to be able to read labels Home Depot has discontinued this product in the stores and now I order it online. I am doing a project now and wish I had some peel stop, if you can’t figure it out go home and take a nap!!

                            Quality - Lost the Whole Gallon
                            I am somewhat satisfied with the actual product, however, for $50, the quality of the container is abysmal. It arrived in a box, delivered by Home Depot, I opened it to mix, and when I picked it up, the cheap plastic tab that holds on the handle snapped right off. I have $50 worth of this stuff covering my garage workbench and floor. A weak plastic tab holds the handle on the can for this cost. Can't imagine how messy this would have been if it failed on my driveway.

                                Doesn’t cover, should be marketed as transparent
                                Worst primer I’ve ever used. Had hoped it would be a good base for paint going onto plywood. It has almost no white pigment, and after two coats, I can still read the printing on my CDX. Slowest dry of any paint product I’ve ever used. And it clumps on the wall, like oil droplets in water. Home Depot should stop carrying this stuff.

Rust-Oleum Zinsser Peel Stop Triple Thick Binding Primer may either be applied lightly for basic priming and sealing, or followed with several thick coats to bridge and fill cracked and uneven surfaces.

                                    Disappointing Results
                                    I purchased the product mainly to smooth out the wall surface of an interior wall after scraping away peeling paint. The product failed to accomplish this task. Although it may bind paint that is cracked, it fails to smooth out the wall where the peeling paint was removed. In the end, I was able to smooth out the wall by applying Plaster of Paris. The product is too expensive for what it accomplishes, especially when compared to the costs of alternative products, such as Plaster of Paris.

                                      This primer is easy to use, I used mostly a brush and a mini roller to prime some old outside untreated railings and spindles. It seems to fill a lot of the small cracks and holes very well. I believe it will help hold old paint in place, although I did pressure wash and then hand scrape as much loose paint as I could first. But the real test will be how well the new topcoat holds up over time. Check back with me in two or three years.
