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.
