With the wealth of knowledge and years of application here, you gotta go w/ SuperSpec. I have never really sold against BM, so since there are about a million SuperSpec products, which primer is being recommended here? And is it a good line for int/ext? I am interested. Thx.

Pittsburgh SpeedHide Primer/Sealer for New Drywall is, IMO, one of the most under-rated new drywall primers, dollar for dollar, and/or pound for pound

I often use the Super Spec Vapor Barrier primer on new construction. In some areas, it is code for the primer to be vapor barrier.
