Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good primer I find that this is a good primer when covering a uniform coloured surface with no heavy stains, examples would be pre-painted surfaces or new drywall. If you want to cover wood knots I would strongly recommend one of the other Zinsser primers (Zinsser Bin Primer Model: EB100040).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth the cash, but read the remarks ...... I had very light greying of the drywall caused by mildew/mold. After lightly dry wiping the work area, I applied the BE123 and it covered the areas with no problem. I waited a few hours and reapplied a 2nd coat of the primer. Smell of paint was no problem, I did have a mask on because I was wiping down the moldy drywall earlier, but still, the smell was acceptable. Worked well for my situation, which was covering up mildew/mold caused by improper venting. Other situations will be different. cheers **** oh ya, I was so impressed with the product, I did the whole room with it; just being prudent

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great hiding primer Pros: Great Hiding, easy spreading, wonderful product for plaster, drywall, wood. Cons: OK at sealing. Could be a little better in this category when sealing metal that has accumulated some rust. It tends to allow bleed throughs of rust after a few months to a year or so.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Definitely a Bulls Eye Product performed as advertised, was easy to work with. No offensive odour and easy cleanup.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible Primer This is the second time I have primed this coffee table. First time I thought the problem was my prep so I stripped it and got exactly the same result a second time. Paint drips off of the can, the finish is bumpy and it doesn’t cover well. I am going to have to sand it again and try another primer. Very disappointed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Bad advice I used the white primer previously with no issues. I had to prime ceilings and they only had grey in stock...I asked the clerk if this would be OK to use for a white ceiling, she said ya, its good because you can see where you have painted...this is true but it took 3 coats of paint to hide the primer, where as with the white I could have gotten away with one coat...very aggravating...

I am painting over a bright red room, will one coat of this primer be enough or should I do two layers?

Asked by: annie00
Hi annie00, Once coat of our Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer should be sufficient. However, you can paint one coat of primer in a small area on the wall and then apply your topcoat. This way you can see if the colour bleeds through and whether a second coat is needed.

We’re currently renovating what the previous home owners used as a workshop into a spare bedroom. The walls had some marks on them so I used this primer, however the stains continue to leak through. Trouble is, we don’t know what the stains are. Ideas?

Asked by: Ardon12
Hi, Great question! If the water-based Bulls Eye 1-2-3 is not blocking the stains, it might be time to try an oil-based primer like our Zinsser Cover Stain. Test on one of the marks that is bleeding through. Apply a coat of the topcoat and observe if the stain continues to bleed through. If it doesn't, then continue to prime and topcoat the rest of the surface. If you'd like to discuss further, please do not hesitate reaching out to 1-800-387-3625 for additional assistance.

Can this primer be used prior to epoxy my garage floor?

Asked by: Lilster
I would not use this product prior to epoxy on your garage floor.  We used the product to hide water stains on drywall.  Whenever I painted my garage floor, I pressure washed it first and thoroughly let it dry and I used standard alkyl floor paint.  Your epoxy paint is properly a superior product the standard floor paint.

Im finishing my basement, new fresh drywall installed. Is this ideal for fresh drywall?

Asked by: Jenv
I would use a specific drywall primer/sealer as it is less expensive, this primer would be overkill for that job, as it is used to cover strains, etc on already painted walls

Hello Some children wrote on interior drywall with sharpie markers. Will this cover the marker?

Asked by: ArtMike333
Hi ArtMike333, If it was a solvent-based Sharpie, our Bulls Eye 123 is suitable to cover the marker stains. If the Sharpie is water-based, you will want to use an oil-based primer such as out Zinsser Cover Stain to block the stain.

should I use sponge roller, low nap roller or brush to apply to get the smoothest finish over wood?  Some say sponge roller, but others say bubbles are a huge problem?

Asked by: Misswind
Hi Misswind, Spraying our Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 would give you the smoothest finish. However, if this is not possible, we recommend a low nap roller.
