Hi,
thanks for all useful tips. Just started my project earlier today. Decided to use Zinsser primer in spray but ran out. At first I was surprised how many cans will I probably need for this relatively small project. When I went back to Lowe’s to get more cans I decided to go with the brush on version of the same primer. Now I regret it. The spray is expensive but is much easier to apply. The brush on version was drying super fast so I have a lot of visible brush strokes which I was able to sand down but the result is not that great (one of the reasons it was drying so fast was the fact that it was pretty hot outside). Now I understand why you prefer to use Zinsser spray over the brush on version. Totally agree with you!
