What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional coverage and hiding power, with most reporting that one coat effectively covers dark colors, stains, water damage, and crayon marks. Reviewers highlight its versatility across drywall, wood, laminate, and exterior surfaces, noting quick drying, low odor, and strong adhesion. Many describe it as economical and easy to apply by brush, roller, or spray. Long-term users report 20-plus years of reliable performance. A few mention needing two coats on heavily worn surfaces or noting stronger odor, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by widespread satisfaction and repeat purchases.
