Works well

Works well on hiding tough stains

Covers stains and prevents bleeding through

Covers much better than other products I’ve used

Excellent Primer

This primer is excellent! It goes on smooth with great coverage in one coat. I primed wood laminate paneling and it worked perfectly.

Covered the water stain on my ceiling

Coverage with limited coats

Great product

Blocks stains well

A good price for this stain blocker

Covered water stains from leaking skylights

Good coverage

I had a stubborn bay window area that leaked some brown stains through regardless of how many layers of paint I applied to it. I used this primer once and the stains were gone.

Superior product

Original Formulation.

This primer dries quickly, cleans up with mineral spirits, and sands well. It’s the original formulation, not the new Low VOC one, which is a crazy and terrible combination of drippy and sticky that you would think would be impossible to create.

Works as expected.

Easy to apply, coverage was good.

PAINTING MADE EASY

This worked well to cover remnant odors from a small fire. It covered well and was simple to apply.

Does the jog

Applies smoothly and dries very evenly. Worked great for the application I was working - floor coating

Stir it good before use.

Used it for a long time. Covers up stains on the ceilings. Great product

Good Product

Used it before with good results.

Seals in smoke and pet smells

Expensive, but definitely sealed in all smoke and pet stains in the house. It's really thick primer, so be sure to use a larger nozzle if you're applying it with a sprayer.
