Non-toxic, zero VOC interior/exterior wood primer
ECOS Interior/Exterior Wood Primer is a unique resin technology that's both non-toxic and zero VOC; it's safe for everyone. It's an architectural coating made specifically for unfinished bare woodwork indoors or outdoors such as trim, furniture, doors, windows, cabinets, etc. ECOS Interior/Exterior Wood Primer is made without solvents or hazardous chemicals, and it contains no biocides or fungicides.
This is best primer for raw wood. It will seal knots and provide a good foundation for paint. For previously painted surfaces we recommend ECOS Wall Primer. For new drywall we recommend ECOS Drywall Primer.
NOTE: Not recommended for oily woods, such as cedar, ebony, teak, olive, or for horizontal surfaces where water can pool such as decking.
ECOS Wood Primer applies with brush or roller, leaving a beautiful smooth, even finish. One gallon covers 400 SF per coat

Why We Like It
While ECOS Universal Primer can also be used for woodwork, this product is more specialized in its ability to seal knots and resins from leaching out. It's an excellent non-toxic alternative to traditional wood primers.
