What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the stain-blocking performance, highlighting its ability to seal water damage, pet odors, pine knots, and dark wood bleed-through in single coats where other primers fail. Many appreciate the fast-drying formula, lack of strong odor, and convenience of no pre-sanding required. However, reviewers consistently report defective spray mechanisms—nozzles clog, spray stops after few uses, or delivery becomes uneven—leading to wasted product and frustration. Several explicitly recommend the brush-on version instead. When the spray functions properly, customers note easy application and smooth finishes ideal for quick projects. Overall, most consider the performance exceptional despite significant spray reliability concerns.

Nice but spray hard to push...

Would Recommend

Sprayed on beautifully except sprayer nozzle hard to push on one of the cans I purchased. Had to finish project and live 14 miles from store. Caused me aggravation and believe it took it's toll on the amount in the can to dpray out. I was a bit short on paint.
