Rust-Oleum B-I-N Primer Flat 1 Gallon 4

I always keep some of this in my supply. It is hands down the best shellac primer ever. I use it on everything! It’s bond is incredible and I trust the product any time I need to use it. It is strong smelling as it is an oil based primer, but if you’re only doing small spots, you should be fine. When I was using it in my enclosed bathroom, even with the fan on and no doors even attached in any doorways, I needed to use a respirator. When I was priming my trim, moving around the house and with windows open, I did not need one. I tried some other brand’s “bonding” primers before (they are not worthy of the word), I don’t know why I wasted my money on those products, but nothing is as good as this stuff. Anyway, super reliable and the best on the market!

At the time of this review the product was about 67 bucks. Very expensive imo. Does it cover well-definitely yes. It covered two burn spots that were dark brown, with one coat (as a primer). We used it to cover and prime a wallpaper surface. It worked great. The final paint coat went on smooth and adhered extremely well to the now primed surface. We are pleased with the results. I guess you get what your WILLING to pay for .

I covers very well but only time will tell if it truly prevents the pine knots from bleeding through. Use denatured alcohol for clean up; works great. It dries fast and you need to work quickly to keep a smooth finish; but a light sanding between coats is sufficient to smooth it out a bit (if necessary)It arrived quickly and special, metal clips are used to ensure that the lid does not come loose.

We just used this in our office and painted on dry erase boards. It is quite stinky while it is going on, but the outcome is great! We even put a wooden frame around it so it looks rally nice. It works just as well as a board that hangs on the wall, although it does take a bit more care when erasing. The dry erase cleaning spray fixes this problem though.

This is a great primer! My husband recently did some painting job on our house, and this primer was amazing. We painted over espresso stained wood, and this primer helped us achieve the white paint color we wanted. We didn't even sand the wood. We just deglossed with a liquid deglosser and 2 coats of this primer, and our paint went on smoothly. My husband tried a different and cheaper primer on a room, and it just didn't do much. Although this primer is expensive, it is well worth it if you are looking to paint over some dark colored rooms.
