What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional one-coat coverage over dark colors, water stains, and smoke damage, with stains disappearing completely and preventing bleed-through on challenging surfaces like MDF and old wood trim. The fast 30-minute drying time allows quick topcoat application, while its smooth, thick consistency glides on evenly without streaks. Reviewers consistently highlight superior durability and adhesion that resists chipping and peeling in high-traffic areas, with many noting the oil-based formula outperforms competitors. Most appreciate the low odor compared to traditional products, making indoor use comfortable. A few noted stronger odor, but overall customers consider it their new go-to primer for professional and DIY projects.
