​I tried this primer on a small area in a 1930’s house. The timber had been stained and painted previously. I sanded down what I could, but the finish still looked patchy in places. I immediately thought of Whitson’s Superior Adhesion Primer as I had read lots of good things from other users in different decorating forums.
It went on like a dream! I really wasn’t expecting it as most primers for this purpose are awkward to use. After just one coat, the surface looked much more even. I applied another coat a few hours later and it just got better. I was confident it was now ready for the finishing coats of paint.
Compared to my usual primer, this has all the benefits and more. The main one to me being how evenly it applies. No brush marks are left and the drying time is just right. I’m converted for sure.
