Didn’t Block or Seal anything.

Would Not Recommend

Bought this thinking it was the best option for the job. Since our Lowe’s doesn’t carry Kilz. We had a few drywall stains needing coverage and to seal some old paint that kept lifting. This didn’t help or remedy either of those things. After 3 coats stains are still showing through and paint is still lifting.

Response from TeamValspar

Thanks for leaving a review. Using an oil-based Primer over that stain might help to seal it back. It's important to remove all loose and peeling...

Started using last year. Great product.

Good coverage.

Would Recommend

It brushes on thick enough to cover. It isn't quite as chalky as some primers which keeps it from sanding as smooth before painting. But I still got a good final coat.
