B-I-N Shellac Primer: The gold standard for sealing smoke, fire, pet, and nicotine odors. Blocks knots, tannin bleed, and ink stains on any surface.

Odor Killing Primer: Eliminates persistent odors from pets, smoke, and musty basements in one coat.
General Purpose & Surface Prep
Bulls Eye 1-2-3: All-purpose water-based primer that adheres to glossy surfaces without sanding. Zero VOC, low odor — ideal for interior use.
