This unique priming and sealing system addresses common drywall issues, creating a sound, water-resistant foundation for painting, wallpapering, texturing, and more. It seeps into and seals up porous, moisture-prone surfaces like damaged drywall, new drywall, filler, joint compound skim coats, plaster, wallpaper glue residue, and chalky builder’s flat paint, ensuring a smooth, even finish while keeping future issues at bay. Drywall Pro 2-in-1 is a unique priming and sealing system for preparing new or damaged dry wall, plaster and porous surfaces for painting, wallpapering, texturing and other decorative projects. It features high-hiding/stain sealing, low odour, and is suitable for drywall, plaster & porous surfaces. It is water-based and alkali resistant, touching dry in 30 minutes. Zinsser® Drywall Pro 2-in-1 seals residual wallpaper adhesive and texture coatings, forming a water-resistant barrier that prevents water in topcoat primer or paint from affecting the surface. It also prevents bubbles that form when damaged dry wall is skim coated with filler or joint compound. It penetrates and seals damaged facing paper, restoring it to a sound surface for repairs, suitable for painting or wallcovering. New gypsum drywall, joint compound and filler are very porous and can make finishes and coatings appear uneven. Zinsser® Drywall Pro 2-in-1 penetrates and uniformly seals these surfaces, creating a moisture resistant film that also protects drywall from blistering, tearing and other damage when redecorating in the future. Pack size: 5L. Colour: White.
