INSL-X SXA11009A-04 Stix Acrylic Waterborne Bonding Primer, 1 Quart, White

This primer is great. I used to use an oil based "cover stain" to get good coverage and durability but then i stumbled upon the Stix product. This primer works as good as, if not better than the oil based without the hassle. It covers nicely, goes on smoothly, dries quickly and has a much easier cleanup. Its worked great for painting furniture, new drywall and wood doors and trim. Plus it doesn't have a crazy odor so I feel comfortable using it in the house. Would highly recommend.

Only painted tile once before with Rustoleum, but this is much better! Smoot application, low VOC, and easy to use and wash off. Came with a super tight plastic seal that I appreciate since shipping can cause spills, but it was hard to pry off 😆. Just means it did its job. It also came with a can opening making it easy for me to open and close the cover. The quality is great. I sanded the tile lightly, cleaned it, and painted over it with roll then a brush. Brush is much better for me as it created a smoother finish imo. My tile is bumpy (it's why I painted it) so pics don't it justice, but it feels really smooth to touch. It still needed some touch ups after first coat as I can see thinner parts, but I had a really small section so I can afford another coat and still have leftover paint. Wish it was cheaper, but I do feel the money was = to value. But if you have a bigger space it will add up $$, especially if you want extra coats. It can get scratched with a metal edge as I scraped off some bumps and peel off loose bristles from my dollar-store brush. My final touch up was using a paper bag to lightly sand it smoother. Best tip found on YT from carpenters! Overall a great purchase.

Sticks to anything. Used on wood and laminate furniture and concrete walls

As a professional specialty painter of many decades... Once this bonding primer appeared, Ive never need or desired a different primer. We can tint it to many light tint( pastel) colors. I can glaze directly atop it without a top coat of paint unless color dictates a color is needed. It brushes very well, better than most any primer, as primers generally do not brush well. Excellent coverage and bonding. If I were to name this product I would call it "IT STIX". Wash brushes immediately well with soap, as well as any on your hands or you're be wearing it a while.

This is a really nice primer but you still need to sand old paint before apply in to prevent peeling. If they recommended sending,I would give it 5 stars.

After two shower pan failures due to improper installation—both times caused by poor grading underneath the liner—I knew I had to take matters into my own hands. The constant worry of water seeping into the subfloor and causing damage again was something I refused to deal with a third time. This time, I decided to create a proper water barrier above the floor tile using this primer before applying an epoxy layer on top. And let me tell you, this product delivered exactly what I needed! The application was incredibly straightforward—no complicated steps, no excessive prep work. The consistency was perfect for even coverage, and it adhered beautifully to the surface. It dried quickly, leaving a solid base that gave me confidence in my next step. With this primer sealing everything in, I’m finally breathing easy knowing that my shower floor is protected from future leaks. If you’re tackling a DIY shower project and need an extra layer of defense, I highly recommend this product. It could save you from expensive and frustrating repairs like the ones I went through! ✅ Pros: ✔ Easy to apply ✔ Quick drying ✔ Creates a strong waterproof barrier ❌ Cons: None so far—just make sure you follow the instructions properly!

ChatGPT recommended this so I bought it. Worked great.

Super duper strength and finishes nice and sturdy

Fenomenal producto, gracias al mismo logré quitarle ese color horrible de mis azulejos anteriores sin tener que botarlos y hacerle un escándalo bárbaro a los vecinos.
