Primers & Sealers
These are the best primers and sealers to prepare surfaces for painting, improve adhesion, and
enhance durability. While they serve similar purposes, they have distinct roles:
Common Types of Primers:
- Oil-Based Primer – Best for wood, metal, and blocking stains.
- Water-Based (Acrylic) Primer – – Low-VOC, ideal for drywall and general interior use.
- Shellac-Based Primer – Excellent stain-blocking and odor-sealing properties.
- Self-Etching Primer – Designed for metal surfaces to improve adhesion.
Common Types of Sealers:
- Stain-Blocking Sealer – Used to cover tough stains (e.g., Zinsser B-I-N Shellac Primer).
- Concrete Sealer – Protects concrete from moisture and cracking.
- Drywall Sealer – Prepares new drywall for a smooth paint finish.

Benefits of Primers:
- Improves Adhesion – Helps paint stick to the surface, preventing peeling.
- Blocks Stains – Seals water stains, smoke damage, and wood tannins from bleeding through.
- Enhances Durability – Provides a stronger foundation for paint, making it last longer.
- Prevents Absorption – Seals porous materials (like drywall or bare wood) so they don’t soak up too much paint.
Benefits of Sealers:
- Seals Porous Surfaces – Prevents excessive paint absorption on materials like drywall or concrete.
- Prevents Stains from Bleeding – Locks in tannins from wood, smoke damage, or water stains.
- Moisture Resistance – Helps protect surfaces in humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
