Strong Smell but great coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and spray! Used it as a touch up for a project. We did it in the garage-the odor was a little strong for interior so windows would need to be wide open!

Fast-drying primer that blocks stains and gives a

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the ProBlock Quick Dry Oil-Based Interior Primer, and it really impressed me! It blocks even the toughest stains — like water, grease, and smoke — leaving a super smooth base for painting. It dries fast (about 1 hour) and sands easily, which made my project so much quicker. Works great with both oil and water-based paints. Definitely a reliable primer for tough jobs!

Quality primer with good coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This primer works well. The coverage and adhesion were good and it dried quickly. I didn't think the odor was terrible either. Overall I would recommend this for projects.

It’s Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the drying time was pretty long but it’s a decent product. Very versatile and covers the walls decently. Odor is not the best though. We used it for a wall and it was a decent primer.

A primer that holds up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When it came to renovation a bathroom, I knew I needed a primer that would hold up to daily wear and tear. This being an oil based interior primer I knew it would also hold up to moisture. This bathroom had wallpaper prior, this primer was used as a base coat for the tan color and we actually used it as a primer and paint for the board and batten. I’m highly impressed by this primer.

Quick dry and cover well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to repaint my kitchen and garage. It’s very fast drying and doesn’t leave strong smell. The coverage is very well as I can only apply 1 layer as it can cover the old paint very well.

Great Primer!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This primer worked better than expected! I used it over previously painted doors as well as on walls covered with a slick wallpaper-like covering. I then used two coats of water-based paint over top and it adhered wonderfully. This primer is oil-based so the odor is strong but it’s no worse than what’s to be expected with oil paint. Just use common sense and open and door or window. Drying time is pretty fast. I’ll definitely be purchasing and...

Great coverage!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yay! This couldn't have come at a more perfect time! We are remodeling master bedroom, diy style. This Pro Block quick dry oil based primer was a life saver. A time saver too in my opinion, because if we had not have went with a primer first then we would have just had to paint extra color coats. Not to mention that if we would've tried out new paint color choice over our old one, the color would definitely not looked as it is supposed to. Plu...

Primes a variety of surfaces

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ProBlock Quick Dry Oil Based Interior Primer works good on multiple surfaces. It covers up stains and dark paint well. One coat is almost opaque, which saves me time in having to go over it with a second coat. I use this on projects painting wood and drywall. The scent isn't too overpowering, and with ventilation it's fine. It dries in about an hour, making it quick for me to go over it with paint. Overall, it's good quality.

best primer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a primer for my diy project in the house- the walls needed to be repainted. This primer was able to cover even tough stains from grease and water leak without any issues. It applies so easily and provides even coverage even if you are not a proffesional painter. I was surprised how quick it dries up- about 1 hour and it's good! It also works great on other surfaces

Great coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a quite extensive leak in my garage which left many stains in the ceiling. This primer did a good job covering all the stains and water damage in just one coat. It does have strong smell, however great coverage is more important than scent. Definitely recommend it to everyone.

What Spot?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok, so what I had was a water spot on the ceiling. I had already attempted to cover it with a couple of coats of name brand primer spray and, as you can see in the photo with it taped out, it was still visible. ProBlock QUICK DRY said it would block the toughest water stains and this one has been there for a couple of years before I moved in. I cracked it open and got to work. The smell is VERY STRONG. The product is thick, as you would expect ...

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ProBlock Quick Dry Oil Based Primer paint is a good product. It's expensive but it works well too cover up tough stains and stuff on the walls that wouldn't be covered up with other primer paints. The smell isn't super bad either. It does also dry a lot faster than others as well. Cleanup is the same as with other paint products.
