Peeling paint? Zinsser Triple Thick is the answer. #peelingpaint #paintingtips #howto #diypainting

What happens here

Once the lightly sanded first coat is dry, apply a second coat of the Zinsser Triple Thick Peel Stop primer using a paint brush. This final coat of the high-resin primer is designed to completely 'feather out' any remaining edges of the original peeling paint, making them visually disappear and creating a perfectly smooth, uniform surface ready for your final topcoat of paint. The presenter highlights that this thick primer makes the imperfections vanish 'like magic'.

Goal: Achieve a perfectly smooth, uniform primed surface.

Tools and materials

  • Paint Brush — Applying the second coat of primer
  • Paint Bucket — Holding the primer during application

then I'm gonna sand it with an Echasil medium sanding sponge, just lightly sand it, then I'll come back and brush on another coat, and everywhere where you had peeling paint, it's all going to be gone. So this high resin primer right here, just feathers out those edges, makes them just disappear like magic. Check it out.
