What Customers Are Saying
The primer is highly effective at blocking and hiding a wide range of stubborn stains, often with just one coat. It provides a low-odor application experience and is versatile for use on various surfaces. The product dries quickly and leaves a smooth, even finish. While most customers found it reliable at eliminating odors, a few reported it did not fully resolve persistent smells. Some also noted inconsistencies in product quality between batches.

RV ceiling repair
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an owner of a RV repair company, got called out to repair a wall and ceiling water leak resulting in stains. Removed the inside trim, repaired the water leak from the outside, while the inside dried, once dry, installed KILZ and let dry overnight, then repainted the wall and ceiling panel.

Waste of money
