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.

Great for Cabinets
Would RecommendI used this to prime my cabinets after using deglosser. I used white for the cabinets I painted white and tinted it gray for the cabinets I painted gray. It is thick and goes on smooth. Just watch for drips!
