Review: OMG this is a game changer! - I read reviews about this water based primer before buying and was still a bit skeptical since I was changing my black bedroom furniture white. This is the best primer I have ever used, I lightly sanded my wood furniture and since it was black and I didn't want any bleeding I used two coats of primer. This goes on like butter, total coverage with not a lot of waste. This gallon was just the right amount for two coats on 2 nightstands; a king size bed headboard and frame; and two large dressers. I did not take a lot of before pictures which makes me mad but I did have a picture of the nightstand to show how black it was. This is well worth the price.
Review: GAME CHANGER - Game changer in my opinion. ALMOST as good as an oil base primer as far as covering stains and tannins but with the ease of use and lack of fumes that you would expect from a water based product. Two coats completely covered a pure black creosote stain. If you’ve ever tried to paint over creosote stains you know how impressive this is. Adhesion is excellent assuming the prep work is done correctly and it sands with relative ease.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No issues over leftover wallpaper glue
*by M***E on June 23, 2025*

Used it after taking down wallpaper. Some glue stayed behind, and I didn’t want it reactivating with a regular primer. This one sealed it all in, stuck well even on shiny spots, and covered everything without a problem.
