Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Bulls Eye 1-2-3 is a reliable all-purpose stain-blocking primer for both interior and exterior prep, and the aerosol format is ideal for spot-priming stains, graffiti or small repairs without mixing a whole gallon. Spray in light, even coats in ventilated conditions; since it is water-base, clean up overspray while wet. Apply above 35 F and allow the 1-hour dry before topcoating.
Use in a well-ventilated area and follow the aerosol can's safety instructions regarding flammability and inhalation.
