qt Zinsser 249727 White Zinsser, Smart Prime Water-Based Interior/Exterior Primer/Sealer

This is the best primer I have used in over 35 years of painting. I used it on kitchen cabinets and wood paneling. Excellent adherence and good hiding of dark surfaces. Easy cleaning up as well.

Refinished 35-year old varnished cabinets. After sanding and applying grain filler, primed them with 2 coats of this product. It spreads easily, doesn’t run, and levels well. Used Benjamin Moore Advance as the topcoat.. Cabinets look great. I highly recommend this product!

These new hybrid urethane products are revolutionary. Dries fast, high build, water clean up, sands easily to a smooth finish ready for paint.

We have used this primer successfully on a number of projects with wood, including a garage door in an area outdoors that is hit by a fair amount of rain. The paint has held up well even without the Sherwin Williams Emerald top coat in Cotton White that we were going to use. Emerald has a primer in it, but we thought this Smart Prime covered better than expected and so far we haven't used the Emerald on the door. This Smart Prime may be a little thicker than some other primers, which might explain its effectiveness in comparison with other primers. Remember to stir it well. We have bought 9 cans of this over about 4 years and would buy it again

This product works very well just as expected. Pricey but predictable. Excellent at providing a smooth, sandable, and strong bond for paint.

I love this brand and have dozens of primers from them. This was clear with large gibs of white that even after long stir would not dissolve. Really disappointed , it went on but was a very light white and coverage was poor

The product is good but when I opened up the package the paint was already leaking out. That's because that's poor packaging. You should do a much better job for your consumers and your customers who actually purchased this at the cost that it is poor shipping

The primer was not priming. It was easy to scrape off. It did not adhere to the cabinets at all.I cleaned and sanded the cabinets as well. Still no adherence.
