What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional coverage and stain-blocking ability, with most noting one coat effectively hides previous colors and seals raw wood. The smooth consistency applies easily, dries quickly, and requires only water cleanup. Many highlight strong adhesion to challenging surfaces like glossy paint, plaster, and drywall without sanding. Users consistently report professional results on cabinets, floors, and ceilings. A small number report insufficient coverage on new drywall or severe stains requiring multiple coats. Overall, reviewers strongly recommend it as a reliable, versatile primer.

Would RecommendExcellent product. We removed popcorn ceilings and used this primer prior to painting the ceilings. It went on smooth without any issue. It's pretty thick and dries quickly.

Good quality, but needed more
Good coverage, but get a little more than expected if you’re covering joint compound. The dry mud soaks the primer in for the first coat and definitely needs a second coat.

Had to go stronger
Covered some of the marks on my basement cement walls, but, not some grease marks. They bled right through 3 coats.
