Would RecommendI bought this for a second coat on newly installed drywall. It provided good coverage & bonded well with the 1st coat that was a different brand.
Great Product
Would RecommendGreat product and great price! It does one specific thing and does it well. Used this over new drywall with hand texture. Seals up great and provides a surface for a smooth even topcoat. If you are painting new drywall and texture this is the product you need!

JUNK!!!!!
Would Not RecommendThis stuff is junk! I applied as instructed, painted over it with very good quality Benjamin Moore paint in three coats. I had to take some trim off to resize a doorway and this is what I got. The paint peeled off in sheets all the way down to the sheet ock. The PVA did not adhere to the sheetrock. I am stuck with it now since short of stripping all the way to the sheetrock there is no way to repair the damage caused by this terrible product. This stuff is dreadful. I will stick to what I...
So so
Would Not RecommendTook two coats for new drywall before I could paint

Not for Anything Other Than New Drywall
Would Not RecommendIf your prep work and work conditions aren't perfect, this won't have good adhesion. I'm working on a house with a roof leak and I'll admit i didn't wipe my skim coat down after sanding; This primer delaminated only after I started putting on the color coat. Use Kilz primer instead.
