Question 6

I ran out of AFM transitional primer after using three gallons for three rooms, and my painters were not really able to get a good cover on the master bedroom with new drywall. I am not happy with the thin layer of primer that is on the walls. My question is can I use the gallon of ECOS drywall primer over top of AFM transitional primer to get a more even coverage than I have? I like how our other rooms look with a very good coat of AMF and always believed it is important to have good solid coat of primer for a nicer paint finish. View answer

I bought a condo with oil based paint and primer and the smell is horrible, even after 2 months. I want to encapsulate the smell; walls, ceilings, cabinets with this.

Hi there, will this primer work well for old plaster walls? We have a 1940s home & tore off two layers of old wood paneling to discover yellow painted plaster walls.
