goof off will also clean Bin since it's not oil base.

But, as abnorm says, test first

If the treads have almost any varnish type (poly or other) denatured alcohol should not harm them. Xylene (goof off) can damage some types of finish.
Test with a q-tip in as hidden a place as you can find.

I recently got BIN primer on my hardwood base boards. A friend suggested waterless hand sanitizer. Since nothing else worked, I gave it a shot. I could not believe how quickly this removed the BIN and did NOT damage the woodwork. I used it within one week after spilling. Three weeks later I found more spots. These were harder to get off but still the hand sanitizer removed it with some effort. I was shocked so try it!!!!!

How do I remove BIN 1-2-3 primer from my painted walls? We primed our walls after smoke stains with BIN and now it's peeling off throughout my house, taking all the previous layers of paint off with it. I have exposed sheet rock where the BIN is peeling everything down to the drywall. I would like to remove the BIN from my entire house. What can I apply to my walls that will strip the BIN and everything else off and get down to the drywall to start over? Without damaging my sheetrock, of course.

You wrote BIN 123. There is no such product.

Zinsser makes a Bull'sEye 123 stain blocking primer. Bull'seye 123

Zinsser also makes BIN primer/sealer. BIN primer/sealer

If the primer is peeling and taking all the layers of paint with it, those layers(or at least the first layer) were incorrectly applied. It is not the fault of the primer.

Actually, if the primer you applied is stripping all the paint layers, that is the least expensive/most labor saving method of removing paint from walls.

If the peeling is spotty, and some areas stay adhered, skim coating is the next best remedy. Then use a primer specified by the skim coat material manufacturer.

Otherwise, replacing the sheet rock or adding a layer of 1/4" thick sheet rock is the other possible remedies.

CLEAN-UP

Clean up spills and paint drips with denatured alcohol or

ammoniated detergent. If spills or drips have dried, use

denatured alcohol or ammoniated detergent to soften and

remove primer. Wash application tools in a solution of 1

part ammonia and 3 parts water immediately after use.

If product has dried on application tools, soak tools

overnight in a solution of equal parts ammonia and water.

Scrub clean with a stiff brush. Follow equipment

manufacturer’s directions to clean spray equipment.

Dispose of unused or unwanted product in accordance

with local laws regulating water-based coatings.

HandyMac - Thanks for the input. Peeling is spotty, extensive, very hard to sand off and on every surface. Can we skimcoat the entire ceiling and walls?

Any updates on removing the zinsser primer? I just primered a large ceiling previously painted with oil based and the zinsser 123 (water base did not adhere) I did clean teh ceiling with TSP and used liquid gloss remover before the primer. It took me hours to scrape a tiny area. I Tried goof off and alcohol without suscess. I'm having nighmares of how am I going to scrape the ceiling. Any tips would be appreciated.
