Product Description
-------------------
Zinsser Gardz & reg; Sealer Primer is a clear, water-based,
acrylic resin sealer that penetrates deeply into porous surfaces.
It dries fast, and forms a hard, moisture-proof film that
prevents drywall blistering and bubbling. It binds down chalky
surfaces, strengthens soft texture finishes, and seals in
residual wallpaper paste. Gardz & reg; Sealer Primer can be
applied to high-pH surfaces, and is easily cleaned up with soap
and water. Recommended Uses: Damaged Drywall: prevents bubbles
that form when damaged drywall is skim coated with spackling or
joint compound. It penetrates and seals damaged facing paper,
restoring it to a sound surface for repairs, suitable for
painting or wallcovering. New Drywall / Joint Compound and
Spackling: new gypsum drywall, joint compound and spackling are
very porous and can make finish coatings appear splotchy and
uneven. It penetrates and uniformly seals, creating a moisture
resistant film that protects drywall from blistering, tearing and
other damage when redecorating in the future. Plaster: freshly
applied plaster is extremely porous but also extremely alkaline
with a pH of 12.0 or more in many cases. Allow new plaster to
cure at least 24 hours before applying. Before priming old, bare
plaster, be sure to determine that the surface is clean, dry and
in sound condition, taking care to repair any cracks or holes
with spackling paste or joint compound before sealing the
surface. Calcimine: is a very old form of plaster that is
extremely chalky and water-sensitive. It penetrates calcimine
more effectively than oil-base coatings and has a much lower
odour. Because it resists moisture, it prevents water-based
topcoat paint or texture finishes from softening up calcimine
layers underneath. Wallpaper Adhesive Residue: water-based
coatings or texture finishes will reactivate old wallpaper
adhesive, resulting in cracking and peeling. Formulated to
completely seal in residual adhesive and prevent it from ruining
water-based topcoats and texture finishes. Texture and Popcorn
Finishes: Can be used to seal textured walls and popcorn ceilings
before applying water base primer or paint. It penetrates soft or
crumbly texture material and hardens it, creating a durable,
water resistant barrier that prevents primer or paint from
softening texture material underneath. Old Wallpaper: most of the
wallpaper installed before the 1960’s was true paper, with no
vinyl coating. To determine if the wallcovering is a true paper
wipe a wet sponge across the surface, if the water is readily
absorbed it means there is no vinyl coating. This type of
wallcovering can be effectively sealed. First, peel away any
loose or frayed edges, or whatever remains should be firmly
adhered to the wall. Apply as you would to any other wall
surface. Pre-Wallcovering Primer: penetrates, seals, sizes and
protects drywall facing paper and skim coat, providing a properly
sealed surface for new wallcovering. At redecorating time, it
protects the surface of the drywall when the old wallcovering is
stripped off. Builder & rsquo;s Flat Paint: penetrates chalky,
builder & rsquo;s flat paint and binds it to the wall, providing
water-resistant protection from paint, wallcovering and texture
finishes. Zinsser Gardz & reg; Sealer Primer 1 Litre Colour:
