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.

Nice but spray hard to push...
Would RecommendSprayed on beautifully except sprayer nozzle hard to push on one of the cans I purchased. Had to finish project and live 14 miles from store. Caused me aggravation and believe it took it's toll on the amount in the can to dpray out. I was a bit short on paint.

One of two was a dud
Purchased two of these in the store. One sprayed out the primer a little worse then average and the other just squirted out the primer like a child going pee. Was VERY disappointing especially since I was right in the middle of a project with a deadline. Had to drive back to the store and get another (3rd) one. Thankfully the 3rd one sprayed the primer ok like it was suppose to.

Worth the $$$
First product I've used that can cover a ceiling water stain with one application. The stain was immediately gone and hasnt bled through three weeks later. Slightly off tone to the ceiling color, but a light coat of paint will fix that. Highly recommend this product.
