Description

Cabot Problem-Solver Primer is a solvent-based exterior primer designed for faster drying and higher hiding. This 100% alkyd primer resists extractive bleeding and moisture problems, dries in a fraction of the time of traditional linseed oil primers, and takes a quality finish coat within a few hours. Dries to a uniform flat finish.

Features

  • Superior resistance to extractive bleeding and moisture problems
  • Dries in a fraction of the time of linseed oil-based primers
  • Ideal base coat for all types of solid stains and paints
  • Exceptional adhesion, including on new mill-glazed siding

Recommended for

Siding, shingles, plywood and both smooth and rough-sawn surfaces, including previously oil-stained or painted surfaces. Recommended for extractive-prone species such as red cedar, redwood, mahogany and fir, and also suited to pine, cypress, spruce and pressure-treated wood.
