What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the exceptional stain-blocking performance and rapid drying time, with most reporting outstanding results on water stains, smoke damage, and knots in a single coat. Many appreciate its versatility across MDF, drywall, wood, and metal surfaces, plus its lack of strong odor. However, a notable group expresses frustration with defective spray cans—malfunctioning nozzles and inconsistent spray patterns render some units unusable. Despite this reliability issue, most customers consider the product highly effective when functioning properly and worth the investment for superior coverage and efficiency.

BEST PRIMER HANDS DOWN!

Would Recommend

I've used this on red graffiti, water spots, smoke samage, you name it. No pre sanding, no cleaning, no nada. Nothing else works as fast and as thorough. As soon as it's dry just paint and you're done. The nightmare is over. I always keep a can on hand.

Dangerous

A painter sprayed this in my bedroom and it is toxic. By the next morning, I was unable to speak because I couldn’t breathe properly. I ended up on 2 inhalers and prednisone for several days.

Stain blocker

This stain blocker works quite well to block water stains on drywall. Be sure to wear a mask because of fumes.

Similar to HPLV spraying

Would Recommend

Nice job with coverage. Used most of the can the first application. During second usage of the can (next day), there were a few droplets that didn’t atomize as well as first useage. Wasn’t a big issue as 320 sandpaper made it as smooth as it should be and didn’t burn through.
