In typical usage, difficult stains may not appear fully covered and sealed by the primer and the first finish coat. The second finish coat should provide complete coverage of the stained area. Two coats of primer may be required on severe stains. On hard, non-porous surfaces, such as glazed ceramics and non-ferrous metal, maximum adhesion and hardness may take 7 days to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways follow manufacturer's instructions found on the tin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Benjamin Moore","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon (3.78 L)","offer_id":58781727326592,"sku":"SB500009U-01","price":90.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Quart (946 ml)","offer_id":58781727359360,"sku":"SB500009U-04","price":30.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0418\/6229\/9814\/files\/ndp-benjamin-moore-max-block-stain-blocking-primer-white-group_fb4115fc-a280-472e-94e5-86227de50b7b.jpg?v=1787752379","url":"https:\/\/nextdaypaint.co.uk\/products\/benjamin-moore-insl-x-max-block-stain-blocking-primer-white-1","provider":"Next Day Paint","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
