What Customers Are Saying
The primer provides excellent coverage and sealing ability, even on difficult surfaces. It dries quickly and creates a smooth, even base for the topcoat paint. The product works well on a variety of surfaces and is useful for preparing surfaces before painting.

Would RecommendHigh Dollar fix for serious paint problems. There is Kilz and then there is this stuff. This shellac based primer sticks to almost any surface and hides a multitude of sins.

Worth every penny.
Would RecommendWow. Was this the most expensive primer I've ever used? Yes. Was it by far the best? Also yes. Strip sanded honey oak cabinets in preparation for paint.

Expensive but it works
Would RecommendIf you want to eliminate pet odors this is the product. Expensive but when you pull carpet and pad. Paint the floor with this and you will be glad you did.

Don't purchase this for odor control
Would Not RecommendProduct was purchased to cover odor - after 2 coats, the smell still exists. This product is extremely expensive and it doesn't work as stated.
