What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional stain and odor blocking, rapid drying, and reliable adhesion on challenging surfaces. Most highlight its unmatched ability to seal water stains, pine knots, smoke odors, and pet odors—often with just one coat. Reviewers consistently report fast recoating times and excellent coverage on knotty pine, veneer, MDF, and damaged drywall. Many describe it as their trusted go-to solution after other primers failed. A few mention strong alcohol odor and thin consistency requiring careful cleanup, but these minor drawbacks are widely accepted as necessary trade-offs for superior performance.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Works great for sealing the glue residue left behind from old wallpaper and blocks water stains. The product has a very strong odor and I recommend using it in a well ventilated area with a mask.

Great stuff
This product works as advertised. I used it on my deck to seal the wood and prevent the sap from coming through.

Kilz does just as good but cheaper
I had to thin it to spray it, it seemed like it would have been fine I think I used too much air in my sprayer. I think it's overpriced
