@Soy_Magnus@clew.lol yah, the stain blocking oil primer is around $56/gallon (at my price so 40% off retail), you can get cheaper latex for about $32 per gallonn but it takes multiple coats.
That townhouse i did took three rounds of primer with latex primer. They could have just bought oil, but they'd rather pay for 3x the materials and 3x the labor. smh

@Soy_Magnus@clew.lol they make a drywall primer called PVA primer for $8/gallon but it takes about 3-4 coats to get solid coverage because there is such low pigment in it. There's a lot of chemistry that goes into painting but no one gives a shit so JUST SLAP IT ON becomes the default. But usually you can save a lot of time/material with the right product.
