Product Description
Tackle hard-to-paint surfaces with complete confidence using Benjamin Moore Insl-X Stix Waterborne Bonding Primer. Engineered with advanced acrylic-urethane technology, Stix is renowned among professional painters and decorators for its extraordinary adhesion capabilities on non-porous, glossy, and challenging substrates.
Where traditional primers fail, Stix forms an unbreakable bond—eliminating the need for aggressive sanding on slick surfaces like ceramic tile, PVC pipes, plastic trim, fiberglass, laminate cabinetry, and previously painted high-gloss enamels.
Its unique formula levels smoothly to create a flat, uniform base that improves topcoat coverage, adhesion, and sheen uniformity. Fast-drying, low-odor, and low-VOC, Insl-X Stix is the ultimate problem-solving primer for both interior and exterior remodeling jobs.
