Which Zinsser primer is best for varnished wood? Painting over varnished wood can be a daunting task. You might not have time to strip the varnish back by sanding it off completely which is where a Zinsser primer can do the work for you. We recommend using Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 for glossy surfaces like varnished wood. Zinsser Bulls Eye is a bond coat primer that’s great for hard-to-stick surfaces as it offers excellent adhesion without sanding.
