Performs like a shellac. The raw material required to manufacturer shellac-based primers is in short supply. The product will be reliably available because it doesn’t contain shellac.
Your product did mask the original odor but has left an even worse chemical smell that is making us sick. I followed the directions very carefully, so I am wondering if the odor will persist. If so, I will be forced to bear the expense of replacing the existing drywall. What are my options?
Hi Dan, I’ve used the product in my own house. It is strong smelling when the can is open and while drying on the wall, but the smell does dissipate. Did it go away for you?
