### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product. People who complain aren’t familiar with it.
*by A***D on October 26, 2025*

Yes it come with a hard black ball in it, that’s pretty typical. And a paint shaker doesn’t work well, get your paint stick out and start stabbing and poking, it will eventually dissolve and it will stay mixed or easy to mix up with a stir or two. It sands nice and hard like you want, and gave a great seal and starting point for my finish paint. I did add a little black tint for a less see through finish and highly advise, it will make it longer to cure but works well. It’s a very high quality primer at a great price point.
