For Zinsser Cover Stain oil-based primer, recoat in 1 hour, dry to touch in 35 minutes, but may need longer in cool or humid conditions. For Zinsser B-I-N shellac-based primer, recoat in 45 minutes, dry to touch in 20 to 25 minutes, very fast. For Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Plus, recoat in 1 hour. For Zinsser AllCoat exterior and interior paints which are primer and topcoat in one, recoat in 1 hour. Factors like low temperature, high humidity, thick application, and poor ventilation extend recoat time, so wait longer if conditions are not ideal, ensuring primer is dry to touch and not tacky. Always check label for specific recoat time, as it may vary slightly by formulation and sheen. Light sanding between coats may improve smoothness.
