great sealer
Would RecommendUsed on bookshelf project with MDF to seal before applying water based paint (a must). Covers and dries well and cleanup with paint thinner. I like acrilic latex paint but this is a must with MDF board to keep the fibers from swelling and expanding. Better than Kilz.

Truly covers
Would RecommendTruly covers the walls. Also helps keep paint on trailer walls. Smell is stout however I dump a 5ml of young living oil in 1 gal and mix well to kill smell out.

excellent
Would Not Recommendgreat bonding primer. covers very well. seals, etc etc. it takes longer than the claimed dry time in 90% of circumstances when using. If dry time on labeling where accurate I'd given 5 stars. I work for my self painting cabinets and refurbishing furniture. The specs on this site have an X/no for use on cabinets. That is also 100% inaccurate
