Pro tips
On renovation projects where time is tight, BIN becomes your ally: its 45-minute drying time lets you apply the topcoat the same day, whereas a standard primer would force you to return the next day. However, be sure to respect drying times carefully, especially in humid or cold weather, even though the product tolerates sub-zero temperatures.
Belgian pro tip: for water damage or nicotine stains on ceilings, apply BIN generously without dilution. Being non-toxic and hypoallergenic when dry, it suits bedrooms and sensitive spaces perfectly. Remember to seal the pot tightly after use, as shellac dries quickly when exposed to air. For large areas, favour roller application with a tray suited to solvent-based primers.
FAQ
Can BIN really block nicotine stains without them coming back?
Yes, BIN's shellac-based formula permanently blocks nicotine stains, even the most stubborn ones. Unlike acrylic primers, BIN creates a watertight barrier that prevents tannins and residues from bleeding through the topcoat. A single coat is usually sufficient, even on ceilings yellowed by years of smoking.
Do I need to sand before applying BIN to glossy or lacquered surfaces?
No, this is one of BIN's major advantages: its superior adhesion lets it grip glossy, lacquered or sealed surfaces without prior sanding. Simply degrease the surface. This feature saves considerable time on renovation projects involving woodwork or furniture.
Does BIN actually eliminate odours or just mask them?
BIN permanently isolates odours by sealing them within the substrate, rather than temporarily masking them. It is particularly effective against smoke, pet and moisture odours. Being hypoallergenic when dry, it suits sensitive people and helps create a healthier indoor environment.
Can I use BIN outdoors on a façade?
Yes, BIN is suitable for both interior and exterior use. It can be applied to façades exposed to the weather, particularly to block stains or prepare difficult substrates before applying façade paint. Its water-vapour barrier effect is especially useful on external walls to prevent blistering.
How long will an opened tin of BIN keep?
Since shellac dries quickly, it is essential to seal the tin tightly after use to prevent a skin forming on the surface. When properly stored in a cool, dry place away from frost, an opened tin can keep for several months. If a skin has formed, remove it and stir well before use.
