Zinsser Wallpaper Cover-Up

Zinsser Wallpaper Cover-Up is an all-in-one coating perfect for painting over wallpaper to cover strong print and can be used under any coloured emulsion. It seals the wallpaper, protecting it from moisture within the paint, so no blistering or bubbling and dries to smooth, off white matt finish. Offers excellent stain blocking qualities which stop seeping stains such as smoke, damp and other water soluble stains.

For the best results, ensure that surfaces to be primed are smooth, clean, dry, and free from any dirt, dust or other surface contaminants. The wallpaper must be well adhered to the surface.

Always do a test area before starting any project to check product suitability and effectiveness. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Only apply at temperatures ranging between 10°C and 30°C.
