Product Overview

I recently had the opportunity to use INSL X Stix Acrylic Waterborne Bonding Primer for a project I was working on and I am pleased to report that it is one of the best primers I have ever used. The primer has an unparalleled adhesion to challenging surfaces, including glossy tile, PVC, vinyl, plastic, glass, glazed block, glossy paint, pre coated siding, fiberglass and galvanized metals. It bonds to hard to coat surfaces and can be top coated with almost any product. The primer provides excellent enamel holdout, ensuring that the topcoat finish is even and flawless.

The primer also offers low VOCs and easy soap and water cleanup which makes it a great choice for interior or exterior projects. One gallon of the primer will cover 75 to 100 square feet so you don t need a lot of product to get the job done. It fully cures in temperatures as low as 35 F so you don t have to worry about using it in cold weather conditions.

I found this product very easy to use and it provided excellent coverage with just one coat. The primer also dried quickly so I was able to apply the top coat much sooner than expected. The results were impressive my project looked like it had been professionally done!

I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a high quality bonding primer that is easy to use and provides excellent adhesion and enamel holdout. It is perfect for interior or exterior projects such as drywall, plaster, ceiling, acoustical tile, wood trim and doors, Formica, ceramic tiles, glossy surfaces, PVC plastic masonry walls, stucco or cement block even galvanized metal or aluminum! And with its low VOCs and easy soap and water cleanup you don t need any special cleaning supplies either!

In conclusion I am extremely satisfied with this product. INSL X Stix Acrylic Waterborne Bonding Primer is one of my go to products when I am working on any painting project whether interior or exterior because I know that it will provide great results every time!
