  • Tried the Cover Stain. It does block the tannin stains nicely, however it is horrible to apply. It has been a while since I used an oil based paint but I think this is particularly challenging.

  • In this weather, yes. It gets much thicker when it's cold. I always stir the Zinsser products a decent amount before applying. I had forgotten about the temperature issues as I avoid exterior work in the winter. Sorry about that.

    You could try warming the pot in water or next to a radiator. There's a neat paint warming kettle solution that's popular in some of the colder european climates.

  • I hadn’t thought about that, it has indeed been cold out. I don’t think I have used oil based paint in winter before so this explains a lot. Thanks for the advice on how to make it less sticky. It really drags the brush as it is.
