Cover-Stain® Advanced Formula Water-Base Primer-Sealer Stain Killer is the “next generation” interior/exterior water-base primer. It combines a unique resin system in an advanced water-base formula that delivers great adhesion, fast dry, easy sanding and the ability to block water-soluble stains.

Cover-Stain Water-Base blocks stains from water, nicotine, smoke damage – even tannin bleed from cedar – as well as oil-soluble stains like grease, crayon, tar or asphalt, usually in just one coat.

Cover-Stain Water-Base dries fast to a hard flat finish that can be sanded ultra-smooth in just 45 minutes. The full bodied formula offers exceptional sag resistance, flexibility, and great enamel holdout. It hides all dark colors and seals porous surfaces for better topcoat coverage and a more even color and sheen. And it sticks to all surfaces– even tile, paneling or glossy paint – without sanding or deglossing.

Like oil-base primers, Cover-Stain Water-Base is a great sealer for all types of wood – new wood, weathered wood, plywood and T1-11. The advanced formula water-base primer offers easy flow and leveling, so it can be brushed, rolled or sprayed -- without the special respirators, solvent clean-up, or hazardous disposal associated with oil-base products.

Cover-Stain Water-Base is ideal for use on all interior and exterior surfaces including drywall, painted wood, cured plaster, concrete, stucco, aluminum, vinyl, steel, galvanized metal or PVC.

Cover-Stain WB meets SCAQMD VOC requirements.
