SHIELDZ® is used by professional paperhangers because it's ONE-STEP solution for all surfaces and all wallpapers!
When you paper a room, there is no reason not to get the
perfect job you envisioned when you bought the wallcovering.
Yet many people end up with bubbles, seam splits, edge
curling, gapping at top or bottom, or background colors
showing through. At redecorating time, they discover they
cannot remove even "strippable" paper without damage to the
facing paper of drywall.
Such disappointments can be avoided by proper surface preparation.
On previously decorated surfaces, making sure that the wall is
clean is not enough. Porous surfaces, glossy surfaces and old
wallcoverings - especially vinyls and foils - all present different
problems. If new drywall is involved, the facing paper must be
protected so it will not be pulled off when you remove
"strippable" wallcoverings at some later date.
Until now, the only surface treatment prior to hanging
wallcoverings recommended by wallcovering manufacturers
was: (1) Prime with oil-base primer. (2) Let dry overnight. (3)
Apply wall size. (4) Allow size to dry.
With all the drying time, mess and effort, it's no wonder many
do-it-yourself decorators shied away from wallcovering or
took a chance by skipping surface preparation, often ending up
with a botched job.
SHIELDZ Universal Wallcovering Primer, a
white pigmented water-based primer, was developed as an
easy-to-use replacement for oil-based primers. It's the
one-step product that can be used whenever wallcoverings are
to be hung.
*Contains a mildewcide to prevent growth of mold and mildew on the primer film only
