What Customers Are Saying
This bonding primer is highly effective for a range of painting projects, providing strong adhesion and smooth application. It offers excellent coverage and sealing capabilities, even on difficult surfaces like paneling, cabinets, and previously painted walls. The primer is described as thick and high-quality, often requiring only one or two coats to create a solid foundation for the top coat. Many users found it successful for both interior and exterior applications, helping paint adhere to slick or problematic surfaces. While a few customers reported issues with adhesion or peeling, the majority were very satisfied with the primer's performance and would recommend it, especially for challenging painting jobs.

Would Not RecommendI followed the instructions perfectly for my kitchen cabinets. I washed it with TSP and rinsed it as well. Allowed a full day to dry and them applied the primer, did not cover all that well but adequate.

Great Product
Would RecommendWe tried 3 other valspar products on Lowes recommendation. All 3 peeled and did not cover in the first couple of days. On our 4 time at Lowes the Valspar rep was there, saw that we were frustrated and asked if he could help. He recommended this paint and said it would cover anything, which it did. Sure would have been nice if we were advised about this paint the first time, it would have saved the 3 extra trips plus the painting time.

Perfect for Historic Masonry Changes
Would RecommendPerfect for renewing the fireplace and chimney of a late Victorian farm cottage, by creating a see-through vent free gas log fireplace between the original living room and the new enclosed South Sun Porch. A suggestion, add a few drops of Lavender liquid scent to the bonding sealer. The room will smell great.
