Question from HG
My husband and I moved into a new building 6 months ago and are renting a unit that has primer on the walls but no paint over it (“decorator-ready”). I am pregnant and would rather not get involved in painting the apartment unless necessary. I was wondering if there are any health concerns associated with living in an apartment in which the walls are covered in white primer without paint on top of it?
Thank you!

It depends on the type of primer used.
If oil-based, it may still be outgassing. If water-based, it’s probably fine after six months.
Test on a small sample first to make sure your tolerate.
any thoughts on an alcohol based primer like BIN from Zissner
it’s 95% alcohol ‘ i think’ supposed to evaporate quickly and cure within 3 days.
thinking of using this to seal in odors
appreciate thoughts/experiences.
Totally fine as long as you are away from the product while it is being applied.
