Don’t trust products that say “paint and primer in one”

A good bonding primer should have been your second to last step.

Thanks!

Is there one you'd recommend?

My normal go to is Zinsser Bin, which is a shellac primer with an alcohol base. Very runny and stinky, but dries sandable in like 30 minutes.

Last time I did cabinet doors I tried stix by insl-x, which is a water base, and dries about as fast, and is equally sandable, which I love.

Bin is available at most home improvment stores, insl-x is available where Benjamin Moore paints are sold.

Zinsser Bin is my second favorite, behind SW's shellac (pink can).
