Fantastic product
Would RecommendI bought this a month ago at first wasn't sure if I bought the right primer, but after putting it on our first 10 pieces of trim out of 60 pieces and saw how quickly and nice it dried, we knew it was a great purchase.

Works well for kitchen cabinets!
Would RecommendMy husband and I are renovating our new house, and the kitchen cabinets were among the first of things that needed an upgrade. We decided to spray paint them white, and this primer went on perfectly

BIN 1-2-3 Never disappoints
Would RecommendHighly recommend the oil-based over the water-based. As messy as it is to deal with oil-based, it is worth it. The water-based BIN is decent, but the coverage of the oil-based cannot be beat. Two coats and knots and discoloration are gone. I've used this product on multiple projects and it continues to perform.

Covers pine knot holes perfectly
Would RecommendThis product covers the bleed of pine pitch/sap from the knots in your trim boards. Make sure you get the shellac based product. Can easily be painted over with another color. Just give the Bin a light sanding.

Worth a hundred dollars a gallon
Would RecommendExcellent product. As a painting contractor, I use tons of this stuff. High performing, excellent adhesion, stain blocking, fast dry, excellent sanding properties. This is my go to primer for cabinets. I just wish the price wouldn't keep going up and up and up...

This is the best primer i've ever used
Would RecommendThis is the best primer i've ever used. Perfect for the cabinet work I am doing. Two coats of this looks like good quality paint - great base to paint on top of.
