Not worth the money
Would Not RecommendThis paint is about as thick as paste and does not level out. On molding , where I used a brush, it left streaks and needed a second coat. I wish I had bought one of the cheaper paints.

The finish coat seems to bond well and covers easily. I used the primer on pine and there was no bleed through from the knots on the pine. I lightly sanded with 320 grit before the finish coat and the finish is very smooth.

I’ve painted many house’s interiors & have never had this problem before. Save Your Money & spare yourself the frustration…. Just go buy Kilz from whoever carries it. You’ll be gla...

Adhesion and coverage
Would RecommendI bought this to update my cabinets. The cabinet doors are covered in formica. After some sanding with 80grit to prep the coverage is great with one coat.
