Very easy to apply. Goes on great and covers stains completely. Use on an old doorway frame that was metal and had stains that were many years old. After sanding stains were still present. Used this product and it completely covered the stains. Easy to then paint with Behr indoor paint.

Yes, I recommend this product.
