Peels and cracks on most surfaces.
I have used this primer on multiple surfaces around my house and had horrible luck with it. No matter what surface I put it on, no matter how thick or thin of a layer I applied, no matter the conditions, it peeled and cracked every single time.

Drywall Primer For Easy Painting
Would RecommendGreat primer for drywall

Fine for the price
I used this to cover a dark green and red stencil before painting and over a couple walls that had previously been covered in wallpaper. It didn't do a great job covering the stenciling but I could have put it on thicker. It still took two coats of a white Valspar Signature paint to completely cover the darker paint. It did do well with the patched drywall that had previously had wallpaper.
