A stain blocker is a primer that prevents stains from bleeding through the final coat of paint, and is essential for a flawless, professional finish. It seals in stains, enhances paint adhesion, improves coverage and ensures the topcoat remains uniform.
Cover Stain® is designed to deliver exceptional results with its rapid drying time and outstanding hiding capabilities. Ideal for interior surfaces, this primer effectively seals a variety of stains, including those caused by water, smoke, or fire.
Its quick-drying formula ensures that you can proceed with top coating in a fraction of the time typically required. Cover Stain® dries quickly and offers excellent hiding power, effectively sealing stains and providing a smooth base for topcoats on interior surfaces.
For exteriors, Cover Stain’s unique formulation ensures full penetration and flexibility, especially on unstable wood, while resisting cracking and peeling. It is compatible with all decorative topcoats, making it a versatile choice for both interior and exterior applications.
Cover Stain® is touch dry in 30 minutes and recoatable in 2 hours. It has a full cure time of 4-7 days.
Temperature and humidity directly affect Cover Stain’s drying time. Higher temperatures and lower humidity will accelerate the dry time while lower temperatures and higher humidity will slow down the dry time.
What our customers are saying about Cover Stain®
Bought this to cover damp stains on walls and ceilings. It does a great job and leaves an excellent surface to paint on. Definitely recommend.
I have tried several stain blocks for watermarks on emulsion paint - this one works really well. One coat over a watermark and it really conceals the mark well. Goes on with a yellow tinge but then dries white. 1 coat of decent white emulsion over and the watermark has gone and doesn’t come back through again.
We got this for a ceiling with terrible nicotine staining in our new house, where it was coming through multiple coats of paint. We used one coat of Cover Stain and then went over with one coat of ceiling paint and you wouldn’t even know the stains were there! It’s amazing.
Had a bad leak in my garage, in which I’d put up plasterboard, got bad mould after it dried out and didn’t want to put up new plasterboard. Used this stain block and can’t believe how well it worked, only needed one coat and completely covered it up. Well worth the cost of the tin. Highly recommend!
