Spraying Zinsser BIN Primer?

Zinsser BIN Primer?

i'd spray that mofo with a good lead base. such as .223 caliber.

cleaning is no fun but at least you can drink the alcohol when you are
done

I need to cover & seal extensive cigarette smoke damage in a room I'm
working on. I've bought several gallons of Zinsser BIN shellac-based primer
based on research telling me it's The Right Stuff to use.
I've also bought a Graco Magnum XR9 sprayer, 30" extension, and pressure
roller accessory. I was hoping to be able to spray and/or pressure roll the
BIN, (Zinsser says it's sprayable) but was advised against doing so by a
local paint store.

Not only the cleanup problem but you will be creating a potentially
serious lung problem by spraying unless a true respirator mask/hood
is used.

I would also have concern about combustible/explosive mixtures
being created inside the enclosed house.

I did buy one of those $35 3M respirators (my original intent was to use
that while spraying the latex).

Thanks. It's sounding more and more like spray application is not a good
idea. I wonder about power roller though, assuming the cleanup issue isn't
so bad?

What the heck, I bought a nice Purdy roller and extension, might as well use
that I guess.

Figure anything you use on the BIN will be toast afterward. Ventilate well
and work fast. Start at the far corner and paint yourself out of the room.
You might consider taking a break between gallons, which willl mean a
separate roller, roller cover and possibly paint tray liner for each gallon
you use.

The good news is that it dries fast. The bad news is that it is
solvent-based shellac and I wished I had someone else to drive me home
afterwards!

I would be reluctant to use a "Nice" anything with BIN. It dries really,
really fast. It was drying in the tray as I was applying it.....

equipment after using BIN is horrendous, something about having to run a
couple gallons of denatured alcohol through it. They strongly recommended
doing the priming with a conventional hand roller instead.
Has anyone here had experience spraying BIN with an airless sprayer?

Should

I apply it with manual methods instead?
Thanks much!

Given how darned fast the stuff dries--I'll never buy it in a gallon again,
just a spray can. The advice at the paint shop was to get a cheap-ass roller
and roller cover and a solvent resistant tray liner and chuck EVERYTHING
when I was done.

Denatured alcohol is EVIL evil stuff to work with. Very toxic.
