I am on the old home list and frankly unless you are blocking stains
of some kind primer is not necessary. it is thinner and generally
cheaper is only advantage. it usually cannot be tinted to the color I
want so I skip it. for blocking stains I havent found anything as
good as shellac. Ingrid

The other advantage of primer is that is sticky (to paint and surfaces
anyway) ... so you can paint a surface that you might not have otherwise
been able to (by priming the surface and painting the primer).
