What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this primer for exceptional stain coverage, quick drying, and reliable performance on small projects. Reviewers consistently highlight its ability to block water marks, smoke damage, pen marks, and dark wood tones in one or two coats. The spray format dries within 30 minutes, applies smoothly without brush marks, and works well on irregular surfaces like wicker and metal. Many use it repeatedly for touch-ups, ceiling repairs, and trim work. A few report nozzle clogging or inconsistent spray, though most consider these isolated issues. Overall, customers strongly recommend it for precision work and stain-blocking performance.

Not much coverage for the price. Had to keep shaking the can. Would have been better off with primer you brush on.

It is expensive

Would Recommend

It is easy to use and can be sanded between coats. A lot easier than a brush on paint.
