Zinsser gives no single number of coats for it in the document read for this page.

What it is for, in the maker's words: “Peel Stop® is a flexible paint sealer for surfaces where peeling, flaking, dusting or chalking is a problem” (Zinsser Peel Stop product page, read 11 October 2026).

## Coverage

Zinsser states 7.4 to 9.8 m² a litre. The maker's words: “Coverage: 7.4m² to 9.8m² per Litre”.
- Bare, rough or absorbent surfaces: A maker's coverage is their best case, on a smooth sealed surface: bare, rough or absorbent surfaces take more.
- A range, not one figure: Zinsser gives a range. An estimate should use the lower figure, 7.4 m² a litre, so that the answer errs towards enough paint.
- Waste and touch-ups: The tin-by-tin figures add nothing for what stays in the tray and on the brush, or for touching up.
