Dried way too fast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used it on out bathroom sink cabinets but it dried was to quick for us and ended up clumping and think maybe it was user error but we did not like how it worked. It was easy to sand flat and it did have full coverage. The smell was not bad for being a primer.

So easy to use and works so well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Priming our walls had been a total must in our new home. So many darkly painted statement walls! So this ProBlock Quick Dry Interior Primer has been a godsend! It brushed/rolled on with ease! After just one coat we were amazed at the coverage, but did a second coat for good measure! It dried rather quickly and within just a few hours our ruby red walls were perfectly primed for a new coat of beige. The odor was relatively minimal and cleanup wa...

This is your permanent solution for any stains ot

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received 2 gallons of this paint. I have already used one and I couldn't be happier. There are a couple places in my home where I have tried a few different kinds of paint and primer to cover up old stains. They kept leaking through every time. This has completely blocked it out. You'd never know it was a problem area before. I couldn't be happier for that reason. It goes on smoothly and doesn't leaf any streaks from the brush or roller. It's...

Refreshed pantry shelving

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with my results. We refreshed pantry shelving and I am so very happy with my results. This was easy to roll out and it provided great coverage. We will apply the paint this weekend but for now, I am happy knowing the stains and damage are fully covered by the primer. The smell isn't the best, but for the coverage and quick dry time, it was worth it. Will definitely be using this primer again!

Fast-Drying Primer with Strong Coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the ProBlock Quick Dry Oil-Based Interior Primer for a small home project, and it performed really well. The coverage was even and strong, easily hiding dark marks and previous paint. It adhered tightly to the surface and created a solid base coat. After drying, the surface sanded smoothly without gumming up, which made the final coat go on beautifully. Overall, it’s effective, dries fast, and gives a clean, professional finish. A reliab...

Covers beautifully and completely in one coat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This primer is excellent. Covered my cabinets completely and smoothly. The new paint went on beautifully with no patchiness or rough spots. The smell is pretty strong so I definitely recommend using in a well-ventilated room. Dried relatively quickly (I used it on a day with very low humidity). Would absolutely recommend

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to paint and provides great coverage. I used this on bare drywall and it covered up every imperfection. It dried quickly and it only needed one coat which is great when you don’t want to spend days painting.

Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This primer worked great to cover some old water stains from a roof leak. It mixed up well and covered in one coat. It does have a really strong smell so make sure you have a window open when using it. I was surprised at how fast it dried and was able to be painted over. Will definitely buy this again!

Great for covering added wall artwork!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This primer seems to do a pretty good job of covering up markers! Being a mom with littles, we have ended up with several walls with extra artwork that we need to cover up. My only hang up in giving this 5 stars is I will need to do a second coat to completely cover up the pink marker (it’s hard to tell on the photo, but there is a faint bleed through). The fumes can also be a bit strong, but letting it air out (with the bathroom fan) all night...

Covers water stains

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had some pretty nasty water stains in my garage ceiling from a leaky roof. I tried some other products that didn't cover the stain. This did the trick. It rolled on evenly and covered the issue with one coat. I can't stand needing to paint or prime more than once and with this I won't need to.

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...
