Hey, It's Just Primer

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023

Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)Color: Light GrayVerified Purchase

It sprays, has good coverage and sands well. Hope it still works the next time I try to use it, as that seems to be the downside of rattle cans. I've tried all the tricks over the years but it's still a crap shoot to me. I've used a mechanical shaker, a blow dryer and tried leaving the nozzle in a solution. The latest thing I've been doing is to use a small brush with thinner to clean the nozzle and to put thinner into the top of the can before replacing the nozzle. I'll see how that works out in time.
