This primer is MAGIC!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was repairing old plaster walls after removing wallpaper in an 1890's Victorian. After using the Bonding Primer, the walls were amazingly improved and ready for paint. We used Valspar Reserve and it looks professionally done. HUGE improvement!

Great product!

I used this when I painted my kitchen cabinets. After18 months it is still holding strong! No chipped paint and our household is very hard on them.

OMG Do not buy this

We applied to tile of which it says it will work. Followed instructions and it’s peeling right off before we even apply top coat. BBB should be called cause this is a misrepresentation of what it supposed to do.

The whole cabinets and cupbaords looked brand new and the coating was extremely durable. This stuff rocks.

Valspar Interior/Exterior Bonding Water-Based Wall

This produced has performed great for me so far. I used it for primer on my cabinets. I will say it is very thick. I sprayed it on and had great results. I did however by a larger tip size for my spray gun.

Excellent Bonding Primer

Glad I selected this bonding primer to paint latex over an old oil based painted surface- This bonding primer really helps the latex paint to adhere to the surface. Without the bonding primer the latex paint would peel off the old oil based paint. Only 2 issues 1)Primer is thick & separated; So be sure to have Lowe’s put it in their mixer Bin prior to purchasing 2) because the primer grabs the latex paint; it’s a bit harder to apply the latex top coat- must work quickly & not over-apply the la...
