I have not used Tough Prime, but have seen it recommended a lot on CB. The remaining question is, how does it compare with the readily available Kilz type primers in real application?
I need to make our ubiquitous black masonite deck turn white for a show, and then back to black. I've sort of settled on Tough Prime for going back to black, but how about for white? Can anyone actually compare Tough Prime to products like Kilz latex in an extreme color-change situation like this? Tough Prime is more than three times the cost before shipping, so if using Kilz means I need an extra coat (even two--time and student labor is cheap) then I'm okay with that. I just don't want to end up with a poor bond causing headaches with subsequent layers. Does anyone have experience with both Tough Prime and Kilz latex on floors? Or has anyone gone to a light color and back to black with any other product that proved durable to daily "general use" traffic and tape, assuming re-painting 2-4 times per year?
I think I read somewhere on CB that people have had some trouble with Tough Prime pigment pulling up on clothes and such. Is it any worse or better than on unsealed layers of the Glidden black so many use?
