Zinsser Hide Hide Cover Stain Primers

Zinsser High Hide Cover Stain Primer is a powerful oil-based solution designed to block stains, seal surfaces, and provide excellent hiding power for both interior and exterior applications. Ideal for restoration projects, it tackles damage from smoke, fire, water, and nicotine while preventing tannin bleed from woods like cedar and redwood. This high-solids formula adheres to a wide range of surfaces—including wood, drywall, plaster, masonry, metal, vinyl, and glossy finishes—without the need for sanding or deglossing. It dries quickly, allowing for recoating in just two hours, and forms a smooth, sandable film that improves topcoat coverage and sheen consistency. Whether you're working on new construction, repainting, or repairing damaged areas, High Hide Cover Stain delivers reliable performance and professional results. It’s especially effective for sealing porous or chalky surfaces and binding loose fibers on weathered wood. Application is easy with a brush, roller, pad, or sprayer, and cleanup is done with paint thinner or mineral spirits. For best results, prime the entire surface rather than spot priming alone. This primer is tintable to off-white and pastel shades to improve topcoat coverage. With its fast dry time, strong adhesion, and stain-blocking capabilities, High Hide Cover Stain is a go-to choice for contractors and DIYers looking for a durable, versatile primer that performs under demanding conditions.
